Well, here we all are, home again, and honestly, I don’t feel the need to “dress up” but I do love my creative time in my closet coming up with fun fashion ideas, after all, it is creative and fun. Thank you to Who What Wear… who bring us updated trends and options no matter what age, it’s a great go-to for wardrobe ideas and a reminder of what you already have. Here in L.A., we are in lockdown so I’m sharing 5 ways to wear a classic hooded sweatshirt

#1 - pair it with an oversized boyfriend blazer in a monochromatic palette. This look marries a laid-back, L.A. cool vibe with an upscale NYC street-style.

Cozy In Cream!

Who says a hoodie is just for lounging? Throw on a pair of skinny jeans and add a couple eye-popping accessories, like an accent scarf and a colorful belt, and suddenly you’ve got a fashion-forward look that can go anywhere.

Elevated Lounging

I love elevating a graphic hoodie by pairing it with a faux leather skirt and a heeled bootie. This sweatshirt is by KATLA, a sustainable brand with core values of respect for people, animals, and the environment. An ethos after my own heart!

A Classic Cozy

A matching sweatsuit is not only comfortable, it makes getting dressed super easy. This stylish set in all black takes on an effortlessly chic look when worn with a matching boot and bag in the same color. Want to dress it down? Throw on a cozy pair of Roam Wear sandals or your favorite fashion sneaker.

An Edge Of Comfort

I have found some of the best sweatshirt ideas at Zara. Styled here with a flowy pair of silk pants from Hark & Hammer and heels elevate this affordable classic, making this look anything but basic.

“Life Is Your Runway So Strut It In Your Style”

Sweet In Sweats

We routinely turn to over-50 influencers Janet Gunn and Melissa Meyers for sartorial guidance. Of course, age has absolutely nothing to do with what you should or shouldn’t wear, but their specific advice is often intriguing given their expertise over the years fine-tuning their wardrobes. On that note, we thought we’d focus next on some of the specific denim silhouettes this duo wears on repeat. More specifically, we thought there could be interest in learning about the jeans they love to wear, along with outfits to match for some inspiration. With all that in mind, keep scrolling to see the jean outfits Gunn and Meyers wear often because they're easy and versatile in nature. You’ll also uncover some shopping inspo as well if you’re looking to add a fresh piece or two into your wardrobe. Read Who What Wear article here.

I’m a big fan of high-waisted jeans for their shape and style. Wear these versatile jeans with a classic trench coat and a graphic top for a chic, put-together look.

Coat $44. Get it now! / Shoes available at The Real Real

I pretty much live in these jeans, super comfortable and great with flats or a nice heel. The price is right for this oversized “boyfriend” trench. $44. That’s a deal! I’m wearing my Bandolier Style Shay Bag chain as my necklace. Use Code GG!5 For Bandolier Style

These vintage sunglasses might be my all time favorite. Very light-weight and pretty timeless.

Just the right crop on this oversized sweatshirt.

During the fall season, I keep adding to my blazer collection. Always timeless and easy to transition from day to night. Carrying the Shay bag from Bandolier Style. Use code GG15 for all items. You can also watch my IGTV just how versatile this bag really is!

This white one shoulder tank is on sale . I like the way a one-shoulder looks under sweaters and blazers.

As we head into fall, we are bringing our black denim back out and gearing up to hopefully go somewhere while staying safe and most of all peaceful… praying!
