Fall Essentials: The Sweatshirt

Hello all! Sorry I have been out of commission recently, I am practicing for the PSAT which I'm taking next Wednesday so things have been hectic. I wanted to at least get one post through to you guys for now, and I promise I will post more after the test. Today I want to focus on a piece that is so often called a "classic" that people have come to think of it as boring. The grey crewneck sweatshirt has been around since the beginning of modern time, but recently it hasn't been seeing as much wear as it should be. Celebrities are looking toward "out-there" pieces from Givenchy or Balmain, and classic pieces have been lost amidst the bustle. There is nothing wrong with that, I myself love certain garments from both brands, and statement pieces are absolutely necessary, but a little goes a long way, and this season is the time to go back to the classics. Here are a few simple grey crewneck sweatshirts for you to break out fairly often in the coming months. You can either dress them down with a pair of sweats or jeans and high tops, or you can wear them under a blazer or even a bomber for a sportier look. Clockwise from top: Maison Kitsune, Acne, Maison Martin Margiela. All are available on Mr. Porter and Barney's.
