Stylish sweatshirts for Autumn

Stylish sweatshirts for Autumn. Sweatshirts have had an update. They have been elevated from the sportswear category to everyday wear. I am feeling the need to add a couple of new ones to my wardrobe.

Over the last few years, my wardrobe has shifted from formal to relaxed. This is partly because I work from home and lead a more casual lifestyle. Sweatshirts have therefore become appropriate daywear.

Above I am wearing my new Pink sweatshirt with lace back by Finery Trousers by MeandEm Pink slip-on sneakers (similar) and backpack (similar)

I like to wear my new sweatshirt with my athleisure wear trousers by MeandEm or with my NYDJ jeans (UK link) at the weekend. You could equally well wear “sweats” over a blouse formal skirt or trousers for work.

There is a general trend to a more relaxed way of dressing. The new sweatshirts fit well into this category. I plan to get a lot of wear out of mine in the coming months.

I love the unusual back detail. I think it elevates it from ordinary to special.

I write a fashion and beauty blog for women over 50 with the aim of inspiring mature women to continue to enjoy and have fun with their fashion choices. I have spent most of my working life in some way connected to fashion. I started my career in Fashion PR and then trained as an Image Consultant when my children were young. I subsequently worked in the corporate world running seminars, doing private coaching and speaking at conferences. I started my blog in 2009 as I wanted to share my years of experience working in the world of fashion. I truly believe we can continue to have confidence in the way we present ourselves. Our style may evolve with time and changing lifestyles, yet with a little knowledge and inspiration, we can all continue to have fun with fashion. As women of a certain age we are a growing demographic let us prove that we can also be a chic one.

  Sweatshirts are certainly practical when I am playing with my grandsons.
