Hoodie dress, how to style it
Short answer: A hoodie dress is a relaxed piece you can style in many ways. Wear it with leggings, boots or a jacket depending on the day, and add a belt if you want a more defined waist.
Why a hoodie dress is easy to wear
A hoodie dress gives you the softness of a hooded top and the length of a dress in one garment. You hardly need to think about what matches, because it works alone or with a few simple additions. Bamboo in clothing is viscose made from bamboo, and many find the fabric smooth on the skin.
Start with the hood and the fit
The fit decides how the dress feels, so look first at the hood, shoulders and length. If you already have a favourite among bamboo hoodies for women, you know which fit suits you, which is a good starting point when choosing a dress. Try sitting and walking around in it.
Leggings and boots for an everyday look
For everyday wear a hoodie dress goes well with leggings and boots or trainers. Choose leggings in a dark shade close to the dress, so the shape looks calm and unbroken. Sturdier boots make the look more grounded, while white trainers give it a lighter feel.
A belt and a jacket add shape
If the dress feels too straight, a slim belt at the waist can give it shape without changing clothes. Put a jacket over it, such as a short denim jacket or a longer coat, depending on the weather. Keep the belt loose enough that you can breathe and move comfortably.
Make it loungewear with a matching set
At home the hoodie dress can be a comfortable alternative to trousers and a jumper. For a more put-together lounge look, combine it with pieces from a bamboo jogging suit for women, such as soft trousers under the dress on a cold evening. Keep the colours in one family so it all fits together.
A layer underneath when it is cold
On cold days you can wear a long-sleeved top or a thin jumper under the dress, and a women's long-sleeved bamboo T-shirt works well as a base layer. Choose a piece that does not show at the cuff or the neck. That gives you extra warmth without changing the shape of the dress.
Care so the fabric lasts
Follow the care label and wash the dress at a low temperature, preferably with clothes in a similar colour. Turn it inside out if you want to protect a print or embroidery. Let it dry flat or hanging and avoid high heat, so both hood and fabric keep their shape for longer.
Find your own hoodie dress
When choosing a hoodie dress, length matters most. A shorter model goes with leggings, while a longer one can be worn with just socks and boots. Think about where you will wear it most, and you will end up with a piece you actually put on every week.
