Lockdown Style: Dressing Up a Sweatshirt

This is the most I’ve dressed up in about the last… four weeks?

[Reading time: <2 minutes]

I thought I should wear something other than gym gear/leggings this weekend. I’m not afraid to admit I’ve taken my usual casual dressing [as I work from home anyway] to a whole new level since lockdown began. But this weekend I felt it was time I wore something that was still comfy but also coordinated and with SOME semblance of style.

A simple, loose sweatshirt (very old, very much loved and somewhat less predictable than the classic grey sweatshirt) in a spring-suitable lemon yellow, my current fave rose gold trainers* and some check trousers – that I really should be wearing more – was what I ended up with. The trousers are high in the comfort stakes BUT the light beige-blue colours in the check mean they don’t look out of place in warmer weather.

(I’ve added some alternatives at the end of the post in case you’d like to get some casual/springtime-suitable check trousers for yourself.)

And my way of dressing even the most mundane of tops/sweatshirts? Add the triple combination of a hat, headband or scarf, statement earrings and killer sunglasses. I GUARANTEE you’ll feel more dressed up with those added accessories than you would without – it always does the trick for me.

How’s your lockdown dressing going? Have you ventured into something other than leggings yet?! Comment below…
