I don’t give sweatshirts enough attention on the blog. Truth be told, they’re my most worn thing these days. I work in the office part-time so I’m not living in loungewear every day, but if we’re having a day at home, there’s a good chance I’m wearing jeans and a sweatshirt. (Yeah, I’m one of those weird people that wears jeans around the house). You could say it has become my uniform of sorts.
For today’s post, I’m sharing a few of my favorite sweatshirts, and how I’m most likely to wear them, even a petite-friendly set, which is not easy to find!
My Sizing: I’m 4’10” around 105lbs. To help you compare our sizing, my bust, waist, and hip measurements are: 32″, 24″, 36″.
Ways to Wear a Sweatshirt
As a Set
I browsed so many sets before finding this one that was right in front of me all along. Abercrombie offers their sweatpants and joggers in the short length and I’m glad I finally realized that! Finally a petite-friendly loungewear set! There are several options at Abercrombie in terms of color and style as well. This particular style fits slim, you can see they’re a close fit on my thighs which helps the set not look too bulky. I’m wearing them in XS Short.

With Jeans
I mostly like to wear sweatshirts simply with a pair of jeans. In my opinion, an outfit doesn’t have to be crazy extra to look nice. I know front tucking isn’t for everyone – I like to tuck things in because it elongates my legs. I’ve had several comments that people felt that tucking was only for someone who is skinny and for what it’s worth I don’t think it matters if you’re super skinny or not, a front tuck looks great on any size with a pair of high waisted jeans – to me that’s the key, the rise of the jeans. I’ve seen it look great on bloggers of many different sizes – you just have to do what you feel comfortable in, and this outfit would look great without the tuck if you prefer it that way.

This coral sweatshirt is thin enough to wear under jackets. Perfect for layering now, but also great for spring when you don’t need a heavy sweatshirt.

With White Jeans
This outfit is more along the lines of me mixing in things you can wear later. I’m all for white in the winter – but this outfit makes me think of spring! But, I also showed it with a top coat for more warmth if you want to rock it soon! My exact jeans are sold out, so I’m linking a similar option for you. This sweatshirt also has matching bottoms that are petite-friendly.

The coral sweatshirt also looks great with this combination and makes me think of spring even more. Bring on the warm weather! (Even if it’s currently icy and snowy outside).

I’ve been loving all of the cozy things that have come out over this year that we’ve spent more time at home. At least now I can throw on a “fancy sweatshirt” and feel put together.
