Leave it to Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid to turn even the most basic of staples into something cool and coveted. Over the past weekend, both top models were spotted wearing solid hooded sweatshirts, showing us that this comfy layer works for non-lazy days, too—if, of course, you style it right.
Rather than dress down their hoodies with sneakers and baggy bottoms, they went the elevated route, pairing them with something structured. Kendall wore a collared blazer over her grey option, then paired it with darker grey jeans and heeled black booties. Gigi, on the other hand, stuck with flared checkered bottoms and a black faux fur jacket for her own black hoodie. Her shoes had a slight platform and were still far from casual.
The lesson learned here? You can easily transform this cozy piece into something fashion-forward, as long as you think of it the same way you would a cashmere sweater or even a button-down top. Don't go for comfort all around—the rest of what you wear should fit your body well, rather than hang loose. Click through for your dose of inspiration, then shop some options if your sweatshirt collection needs an update.
