These oversized hoodies are as comfortable as they look

Unless I’ve been given a dress code to adhere to, I like to direct my fashion sense towards comfort. I’m talking black leggings, loose trousers, loungewear, pyjama sets and oversized hoodies.

They may be seen as something you throw on when you’re feeling lazy (no harm there), but you’d be surprised at how ‘dressed up’ they can become when styled with the right accoutrements. Layer one beneath a blazer with a pair of jeans, some kitten heels and a designer bag and you’ve got yourself an outfit that even the queens of effortlessness - AKA Hailey Bieber and Gigi Hadid - would be proud to don.

Hoodies - oversized or not - are the one piece of clothing that stay at the forefront of everyone’s wardrobes, no matter the season. If there’s a chill on a summer’s day, what do you reach for? Exactly.

Their casual credentials instantly render them cool, but they’re actually far more adaptable. I’d even go as far to say that you could get away with wearing one to the office on days when you’re struggling to think of what to wear to work - perhaps something like this logo-embroidered Balenciaga offering or this organic cotton Nobody’s Child iteration.
