Printed Hoodies: The sporty look

If you are into the sporty style, you can definitely consider an outfit that consists of a printed sweatshirt and sweatpants. Sweatshirts that are suitable for sporty outfits are made of soft, dense fabrics.

But not only printed hoodies can make your outfit a special eye-catcher. If you want individuality, creativity and your own style, you can have your own hoodie printed at Printful. Choose a motif or photo of your choice that represents yourself. How do you want to feel when wearing the IT piece? Strong and feminine, loose and casual or elegant and exciting? The printed motif determines the effect.

For urban casual outfits, on the other hand, monochrome hoodies – black, red, white, navy – with a pair of black sweatpants and a pair of leather sneakers come very nicely. Your outfit is guaranteed to be comfortable and effective.

Your own style: The hoodie as an accessory

The hoodie doesn’t always have to be an integral part of the outfit. If you want to integrate it discreetly into the outfit, it is perfect as an accessory. That means you dress according to your taste and then tie a hoodie around your waist, for example. This trend is especially great for fickle weather. Also, you can roll it and wear it around your neck like a scarf. This way, you’ll keep that part of your body warm if you’re someone who gets cold quickly. In the latter case, it is better to wear it in the same or similar color as your shirt. If you want to go with the trend, you can also wear the sweater like a crossbody bag, namely crossed from the shoulder to the hip and tied in the front.

The layered look: The principle quickly explained & the best basics

The famous layered look is not a novelty. Nature makes it and here, which is why the famous layer principle is also colloquially called Zwiebellook. Similar to the individual layers of a bulb, the many layers of clothing layered on top of each other also protect the body from cold and wind. Top athletes in particular, such as cyclists and marathon runners, who also do outdoor sports in winter, have been benefiting from this for decades. Why is the layered look worthwhile not only in sports, but also in everyday life? It’s simple: a heavy winter coat and a large knitted sweater may protect you from catching a cold outside, but if you head for the warm ambience of a nearby café after a short walk through the snowy city center, you’ll quickly get too warm inside. Thanks to the layered look, you can then take off one layer of clothing after the other and thus acclimatize your body more quickly.

The best clothes for layering: From summer dresses to denim jackets

You don’t need to buy new clothes for the fashionable twilight look. Everything you need is already in your closet. The beauty of the twilight look is that you can combine summer and winter clothes. Even the airiest silk pieces are perfect for this. For the lower layers of clothing, you can wear your favorite pieces from your summer wardrobe: Summer dresses, skirts, crop tops, as well as tights & leggings. On top, depending on your taste, sweaters, longsleeves or even denim jackets in countless variations can be put on. Also thin leather jackets in combination with knitwear are timeless and elegant.

Layering: The best tips & tricks for perfect styling

For many, the fashionable layered look is a big challenge. Which fabrics combine well? Is color blocking allowed? And does everything always have to be oversize? Don’t worry. We’ve put together the ultimate guide for you with the best tips and tricks.

Skillfully playing with different proportions & silhouettes

In addition to color, materials & Co. there is one thing to consider that many tend to forget: Volume and proportions. When playing with proportions, sure instinct is required. Mainly applies:

Always vary between XXL layers and figure-hugging garments.

If your complete look consists only of oversize pieces, you quickly look wider than you actually are. However, if you combine only tight garments, your proportions will quickly look shapeless and the individual pieces will stand out unsightly. The top layer of your onion look should always be wider than the garments underneath. If you don’t like an XXL coat or oversized jacket, you can quickly bring it back into shape with feminine accessories, like a wide waist belt, for a stunning 90-60-90 silhouette.

Combining innovative shapes and different lengths

The supreme discipline in the layered look: Stage the individual layers in such a way that they not only create a coherent image overall, but are also easily recognizable and coherent individually. For example, you can play with long-sleeved tops and short-sleeved vests, let long tunics peek out from under short quilted jackets or combine a warming turtleneck sweater under a dress.

Layer different materials and patterns: knitwear, leather & jeans

Provide for variety – what is quickly considered too much for colors, does not count for materials. Here you can mix and match according to your mood and needs. Style breaks are especially welcome in the layered look. Classic Zwiebellook combinations are leather leggings and cozy sweater or light silk blouse and coarse cardigan. Also XXL denim jacket on flowery summer dress I always suitable.

In addition to materials, patterns can also be easily mixed. Caution, however: Here, less is more!

Whether during the day in the somewhat cool office or in the evening with a mulled wine while walking through the city: gaudy tones as eye-catchers always go and set beautiful accents especially with outfits with muted colors. If you don’t own any gaudy accessories or clothes, don’t worry: the right make-up still counts as the most timeless accessory of every woman.
