Helping women love what they wear on a budget

Stylish Momiform: How to Elevate a Hoodie Sweatshirt

January 29, 2025 by Katie H.

2 hoodie sweatshirt outfits, one elevated with a camel wool coat.

It’s been a minute since I shared a stylish momiform post, and since it’s winter, I’m sure you might appreciate a post showing how you can elevate your everyday winter momiform. Today, I’m focusing on an oversized hoodie sweatshirt.

Hoodie sweatshirts are so cozy when it’s cold out, but sometimes style can take a backseat when it comes to comfy, cozy clothes. That’s why today I want to focus on how you can elevate a hoodie sweatshirt to feel more stylish while keeping the comfort.

How to Elevate a Hoodie Sweatshirt

Step 1: Balance Your Look

When wearing an oversized hoodie, you will want to make sure that you pick a fitted bottom to pair with it. In the first outfit, I’m wearing my oldest (and comfiest) sweatpants. Although they are comfortable, they are baggy and create a sloppy look.

Instead of the joggers, I switched them out for a pair of fleece-lined leggings. These pants are just as cozy as the sweats, but they look more balanced with the oversized top. You could also opt for skinny jeans or, in the spring, try bike shorts!

Step 2: Wear an Elevated Winter Coat

Elevated winter coats are key to looking stylish in the winter. An oversized sweatshirt will look more polished with a wool coat rather than a parka or a big puffy coat. Plus, I find it uncomfortable to wear a hoodie sweatshirt with a hooded coat—the two hoods feel bulky.

Step 3: Watch Your Footwear

Shoes are also a very important part of your outfit. Comfortable shoes can still be stylish. In the first outfit above, I’m wearing a black Nike athletic-style shoe. Although I like these shoes with the right outfit, they aren’t that stylish. Plus, when worn with the black coat, the outfit lacks depth.

Instead, I switched out the shoes for a pair of elevated sneakers. My Adidas Samba shoes feel more stylish. The shape, details, and timeless style of them make the whole outfit seem more put together. You can also do an elevated practical boot in this look as well.

Step 4: Don’t Forget Your Accessories

You can’t forget your accessories! Little things like a hat and sunglasses can really step up your style. Also, a cute purse (which I didn’t include in this outfit) would help elevate the look. And don’t forget your jewelry. For this look, I’m only wearing simple gold earrings, but that’s all you need.

Step 5: Don’t Forget Your Self-Care!

Having a cozy outfit day doesn’t mean you can skip the getting-ready process. You should still wear a little makeup, do your hair, and ensure you’re taking care of yourself. This will all reflect in your outfit.

Hopefully, the next time you’re on the way out the door in your favorite hoodie, these tips will help you feel more put together while staying cozy. A few simple swaps can make all the difference in transforming a casual, oversized hoodie into a stylish winter momiform. Let me know—what’s your favorite way to elevate a comfy look?
