Mini Style Secrets
3 ways to style
a sweatshirt
Each month we spin one closet staple into three new looks. You’re welcome!
If kids had a uniform, this would be it. The sweatshirt is cozy, dependable, and worn on repeat for a reason. The good news? With a few smart swaps, this everyday staple can feel fresh, cool, and even a little polished. Here are three ways to style one sweatshirt for the month it works hardest.
