How To Wear A Sweatshirt Over 50

If you are anything like me you haven't worn a sweatshirt since playing netball or hockey during school sports. Since then I have avoided them as ugly and unflattering! But I'm currently working on a project (which will be revealed soon) and it's made me think about what I as a woman over 50 want to wear. We've all got much more used to wearing leisurewear over the past two years and I am sure like many of you I've grown to love comfort dressing, albeit my joggers are cashmere and I still haven't worn a sweatshirt :)

I've never been one to be happy in a simple jeans and t-shirt outfit - I've always felt like I needed to add something, so a simple jeans or joggers and sweatshirt outfit just wouldn't float my boat. So it got me thinking about how I could happily wear one in a more stylish way and I've come up with three options for a printed sweatshirt, which I think gives it a little more style. Plus I've opted for one that has a looser cuff at the bottom so it doesn't puff up and make your top half look bigger than it is!

First a casual option with a pair of leg lengthening flare jeans. But to elevate the look I've gone with neutral tones rather than blue jeans and I've added an ankle boot with a heel.

Next a smarter option with a cream skirt and picking up on the green in the print of the sweatshirt.

Finally a leisure look, that despite including joggers and trainers is about as far from those school days as you can get. Again done in neutrals with a timeless Trench it keeps it sophisticated.

Which is your favourite look? Are you a fan of a sweatshirt or are you like me ready to dip your toe back in the sweatshirt pond?
