THE TRENCH COAT/HOODIE COMBO

One way to lighten up your load, as in not having to wear a heavy coat, is to layer up. A big trend this Spring is a hoodie with a trench coat. Trench coats are popular in Springtime anyway, but the layering technique gives you a chance to wear this option on perhaps what may not be the most warmest day.

I also love a hoodie as it allows you to ditch the scarf on a cooler day for a different look.

MY TOP TIPS

Make sure the colours of the hoodie and trench coat compliment each other or if you are opting for a neutral trench coat then perhaps opt for a bright colour hoodie. I feel that if there is a colour-clash, it just won’t look so well put together
There’s nothing wrong with an old hoodie, but this cowl neck style (I’m wearing) is a more up-to-date look
By adding a slogan on your hoodie, you are hitting another trend this Spring/Summer – tick, tick, tick
You can style this look up with heels or dress it down like I have with trainers – very versatile
Great for your commute into the office or a relaxed look at the weekend – I think it’s also a great option whilst traveling perhaps for a city break weekend, you remain stylish whilst being quite practical

THE ‘HELLO’ HOODIE

I just want to give a special mention about this ‘Hello’ hoodie that I purchased for my recent trip to Portugal. It’s from Hari And The Gang a brand I found on Instagram. They are offering this gorgeous style of hoodie at a very reasonable price of £42.

I have found the quality to be very good, it’s a straight fit which I personally think is great as it doesn’t baggy too much around your waistline, making it easier to wear under a trench or perhaps a shorter jacket.

I purchased a Medium for a 12/14 fit, and I would say it was spot on for me, I think if I opted down for a smaller size it would be tight on my shoulders. It’s available in black, grey, this ‘camel’ nude colour and I have seen it in pink but it’s currently out of stock.
