I am not an athleisure gal, but — thanks to Isabel Marant and the influence true street style has had on high end fashion — I have over the past few seasons come to love a good sweatshirt worked into my wardrobe. I’m not yet venturing into the pairing of sweatshirts with glittery skirts a la Giovanna above, but — with a great pair of jeans and some smart shoes? Yes pls. Three sweatshirts I own and have already gotten a decent amount of wear out of as we lean into fall:
THIS FLEECE RAGLAN STYLE IN THE OAT COLOR
THIS PUFF-SLEEVED STYLE IN THE ECRU
Any of these would look amazing with on-trend denim (more options here, and don’t forget about the J. Brand coupon code!).
A few other sweatshirts I am loving right now:
OBSESSED WITH THIS TURTLENECK SWEATSHIRT
THIS DROP SHOULDER STYLE (SIMILAR HERE FOR LESS — LOVE IN THE OYSTER BEIGE COLOR)
THE SHAPE AND COLOR OF THIS FADED BLACK SWEATSHIRT FEELS VERY ISABEL MARANT FOR $53
THIS SCULPTED SWEATSHIRT IN THE UNEXPECTED PUTTY COLOR (ON SALE!)
THIS $32 HENLEY STYLE IN A GREAT GREEN COLOR — JUST BOUGHT MYSELF BUT WILL PROBABLY MAINLY USE FOR EXERCISE
ALSO LOVE THIS TUNIC STYLE SWEATSHIRT FOR POST-WORKOUT
Finally, not really a sweatshirt, but how fetching is this waffle hoodie?! I need this for cold weather lounging at home.
P.S. The best bags for fall.
P.P.S. Chic athletic wear.
P.P.P.S. This was a very tough post for me to write. I’m so glad I did, because it was therapeutic and I have read and re-read your comments so many times and find myself in total and complete awe of the many incredibly — unreasonably! — kind comments on it. I love you, Magpies.
I have fond memories of sweatshirts. From the iconic 80’s shoulder pad Norma Kamali number to the off shoulder ala flashdance, love them all. My favorite in your roundup is the simple river island faded blk ss. It does remind me of Isabel Marant. I love these micro posts and all your posts!
Cheers,
Carleen
Yay! Yes — that River Island is such a great buy, and so funny how nothing ever really goes “permanently” out of style. It all comes back around. And thank you for the incredibly kind words! So glad to have you here as a part of the Magpie community. I appreciate every single comment you leave — thank you for them. Makes me feel like I’m in conversation with friends.

I love a good sweatshirt! I have too many right now … it has to be a one in, one out situation for me at the moment. 🙁 Of course the $415 Marant option is my favorite [insert laugh-cry emoji here], but I really love that Alo version in the blue jean or forest! Definitely going to consider that …

I know, that Marant one is delicious! My sweatshirt collection is really beginning to develop quickly so I may need to adopt a similar policy at some point…xx
