Hoodies are the epitome of comfort and casualness, perfect for spring and a staple in many wardrobes. However, some people struggle with styling hoodies and don’t know where to start. Today, we’ll explore the trendy new ways to wear hoodies this year.
Don’t just blindly follow the fashion bloggers who pair hoodies with seamless pants. The results can be quite unsatisfactory. If you’re interested, keep reading to learn more.
I. Drawbacks of Pairing Hoodies with Seamless Pants
Hoodies and seamless pants are not suitable for everyone; they only work for a small group of people. Hoodies are typically casual tops, while seamless pants are tight-fitting and better suited for those with slender legs.
Moreover, the styles may not always match, resulting in an uncoordinated overall look. For example, if the hoodie is too short, it may not cover the buttocks and crotch area, leading to awkward situations.
Seamless pants have strict requirements for leg shape; they may not look good on those who are too skinny or too plump. Some fashion bloggers can pull off the look because they have great figures, making it easier to style.
II. Recommended 3 Common Hoodie Styles
Crew Neck Hoodies
Crew neck hoodies are friendly to those with attractive necks and shoulders. However, if you have broad shoulders and a short neck, be cautious when choosing crew neck hoodies, as they may make you look bulky.
In early spring, a crew neck hoodie with moderate thickness is a favorite for most people. It can be paired with high-waisted jeans, straight-leg pants, plaid pants, and other bottoms.
You can also freely mix and match with sneakers, canvas shoes, dad shoes, or even loafers to create various styles, such as cool or sweet looks.
Polo Collar Hoodies
Polo collar hoodies feature a zippered collar design and are suitable for creating a casual, sporty look that exudes spring vitality.
Whether paired with skirts, short skirts, or loose pants, they can create different styling effects. Cute girls, cool ladies, or elegant beauties can all easily pull off this look.
The polo design can also weaken the shortcoming of a short neck. Women with broad shoulders or backs can choose this style, and the zippered collar design adds interest to the overall look.
Hooded Hoodies
Another common type of hoodie is the hooded hoodie, available in zippered and non-zippered versions. You can choose based on your preference. Hooded hoodies exude a casual and laid-back vibe.
Hooded hoodies come in various designs, colors, and patterns, allowing for personalized styles that suit those who pursue individuality and fashion.
If you don’t want to expose your neck, you can layer a turtleneck or low-neck inner top underneath the hoodie. If you want to show off your attractive neck, simply wear a t-shirt or camisole underneath.
III. Master These 3 Styling Tips for Easy Early Spring Outfits
Crew Neck Hoodies – Layering
Since crew neck hoodies don’t have collars, they are suitable for layering with other pieces. For example, you can layer them with shirts, using the shirt collar as a substitute for the hoodie’s collar, breaking up the monotony.
If the temperature is still low where you live, wearing just a hoodie may be too cold. In this case, you can layer a down vest over the hoodie. The hoodie can be slightly shorter than the vest, adding a sense of depth.
Of course, if you don’t want to pair it with a shirt or vest, a soft turtleneck sweater or low-neck inner top can also serve as a base layer for crew neck hoodies.
Polo Collar Zip-Up Hoodies – Color Contrast
When pairing polo collar hoodies with bottoms, choose neutral colors or colors that contrast with the main color to create a lively and harmonious visual effect.
Like the girl on the left in the image above, you can choose a black polo hoodie for the top and pair it with white loose pants for a sharp color contrast.
Alternatively, like the girl on the right, you can pair a light gray polo collar hoodie with light brown vintage-colored flared jeans for a subtle yet vibrant look.
Hooded Hoodies – Appropriate Skin Exposure
The design of hooded hoodies is inherently lively and casual. If you don’t want to look too childish, you can learn the trick of appropriate skin exposure.
This means pairing hooded hoodies with dresses, skirts, or even short skirts. When matching with short skirts, white sneakers are a common choice.
Pairing with knee-high boots can reduce the exposed skin area on the legs. Add a beret, and the youthful look is instantly cut in half, making you look stylish, slimming, and youthful.
There are many innovative ways to wear hoodies, but due to time constraints, we can only cover this much for now. In fact, the styling tips mentioned above for crew neck, polo collar, and hooded hoodies can be mixed and matched.
There is no fixed styling pattern. Fashion is all about your ability to adapt and think creatively, using your body shape and advantages to create stunning outfits.
