Want of the Week: White Hoodie

Wednesday 28 December 2016




Cropped Hoodie // River Island // Sold Out
Hoodie // Weekday // £30

Okay okay, so I know in the picture she’s wearing a grey hoodie, or maybe it’s even oatmeal, and the title of this is Want of the Week: White Hoodie but bear with me. Now, I am the worst person to get a white jumper, hoodie, jacket etc of any description. I think this may be because I have a tendency to wash my white and black clothing together making all my white tops grey…it saves on electricity I swear. I also am exceedingly clumsy and tend to put my elbows, cuffs, hands and whole face into food, so as you can imagine, a white hoodie is something that’s going to be tricky for me to maintain.

Despite this and after a lot of thought i’ve decided to take the plunge and buy one. Thank you Gildan hoodies via Amazon. At £12 it’s a steal. I’m not sure how i’m going to style it yet, i’ve thought about it a lot and to me it’s going to look really good. However I am probably the palest person I know so I could look ridiculous. OR it could make me look like I have a tan. It could go either way.

(free postage ooooh)

So I chose the photo from Spanish Vogue of London Street Style because I wanted to use the influence of casual wear to explain what i’m talking about. I was and have been searching for photos of white hoodies and how they have been styled for a while now. However I found that actually nothing was coming up that I felt really represented me. What i’m trying to say is, that I like to take elements of different brands and bring them together, in a minimal kind of way and i'm not really seeing that. So I could wear a top from I don't know, Missguided, layered with a Topshop vest, Levi Jeans and Vans. Who would know if it cost me £10 or £1,000. I was influenced by her look because she could be wearing a Burberry trench coat or one from Zara, you can't strictly tell, But it doesn't detract from the fact that she looks effortless and comfortable. 

(also my last post on what I got for Christmas was my 100th post! Congratulations to my blog and thank you for all the support since I've started in January)
