2020 has really been the year of trendy basics. Between lots of lounging around and a desire to dress more casual in and out of the house, basics have taken on a whole new level of importance. Of course, being the style-minded people we are, we not just going to wear any old basic clothing item. It's going to be a slightly cooler, more updated version and today I'm adding one more of these trendy basics to my list of favorites: oversized crewneck sweatshirts.
I've been loving the style which feels fresher than your average hoodie and fashion people have also taken a liking to them, too. All over my feed, I'm seeing loads of outfits with sweatshirts that make the formerly-boring basic look anything but. Whether they're layering one over a collared shirt for a preppy feel or styling it with loose jeans and sneakers for a weekend vibe, it's working. Continue on to see seven of these 'fits so you can understand exactly where my obsession stems from.
Add in this combo consisting of an oversized crewneck, loose ripped jeans, and gold jewelry to your outfit rotation for casual days.
