How to Style a Sweatshirt

If you’re like us, you try to stay in the comfort and warmth of your sweatshirt all day long. And why wouldn’t you? Sweatshirts, especially Russell Athletic sweatshirts, are not only comfortable, but both practical and versatile as well. Just think about it, you can pair a sweatshirt with sweatpants for a cozy day in, with a pair of nice jeans to meet up with friends, or with basketball shorts and shoes for some time on the court.

As the inventors of the sweatshirt, we know a thing or two about elevating your sweatshirt look to match just about any occasion. Plus, Russell Athletic sweatshirts come in a multitude of colors for whatever outfit you can think of. So, if you’re looking for ways to style your favorite sweatshirt in line with the latest trends, try these out:

Athletic Styling

Football player Benjamin Russell Jr. invented the original sweatshirt in 1926 as a new all-cotton football jersey to replace itchy wool jerseys. Since the beginning, athletics has been in our name and one of the primary inspirations for new innovations throughout our history. Our Dri-Power Fleece Collection of hoodies and crewnecks is a perfect option for those that like to get active in the comfort of their sweatshirt.

Our Dri-Power sweatshirts feature modern styling paired with Dri-Power® moisture-wicking technology so you’ll look good while staying warm and dry all at the same time. Pair them with workout shorts for a stylish yet capable outfit that you can hit the gym in. Or, put on some running shoes and hit the trail for an early morning run.

Trendy/Fashion Forward Styling

A crewneck can suit just about any scenario depending on what you pair it with. If you’re heading into the office or out to dinner with friends and don’t want to leave the comfort of your sweatshirt behind, the collar shirt with a sweatshirt trend is always a good go-to. Pair it with jeans or leggings and heels or boots to get a comfortable yet stylish outfit. You can also skip the bottoms altogether and simply wear an oversized sweatshirt as a dress. 

Everyday Casual/Comfort

You can’t go wrong with a sweatshirt if you’re going for a casual or comfortable look. Try throwing on a pair of relaxed jeans and sneakers, sweatpants, or joggers for a complete sweatsuit and ultimate comfort. You can also opt for an oversized crewneck, biker shorts, and high-top sneakers for a trendy casual look. Really though, you can pair just about anything with your crewneck or hoodie for a casual look, it all depends on your personal style!
