With a leather jacket
One of the ways you can wear your leather jacket is by pairing it with a hoodie.
Leather jackets are classic pieces and are also timeless. They can work for different occasions and will instantly elevate any look they are layered over. A longer leather jacket works for this, but you can also wear a cropped one depending on the type of hoodie you are wearing.
Remember that leather doesn’t only come in black as you can find it in other different colors such as browns and whites. You can also go even brighter.
Hoodies are mostly worn by those in school, or people who just want to lounge around in something comfortable, and the likes. Adding a leather jacket will make a casual outfit look much more chic.
With a blazer
Blazers are mostly great for the office environment but fortunately, they can also elevate your casual outfits, for example, when worn over a hoodie.
A blazer is always a great way to add structure and a touch of sophistication to your outfits. They work for women of all ages and different body sizes. Not only will you be warm, but you will also look very classy even if what you’re wearing underneath it is just a hoodie.

With a denim jacket
Wearing a denim jacket over a hoodie is one of the easiest way to style the two most worn pieces in our wardrobe.
Denim jackets are great casual pieces that never run out of style and can be worn throughout the year regardless of the season. The denim jackets are also long lasting, regardless of your size and age. You can always wear one for a great casual look over under layer.

With a trench coat
If it’s colder outside, you can wear your trench coat over a hoodie.
Trench coats is the wardrobe staple for women of all age. A trench coat can be worn over t-shirts, button-downs, blouses, and tanks, and of course hoodies.
They were designed to shield you from rain and the wind, but above all, trench coats can make any casual outfit look much more chic, even when worn over pieces like hoodies.

In terms of the length, you can choose a short trench or a longer trench. A shorter trench works the best if you are petite, because it allows more legs to be seen. Of course, you can also go with a longer trench, even if you are petite.
With an over coat
In the fall or winter when temperature drops, you can add a wool overcoat to your hoodie outfit, if it’s too cold outside.
Wool over coats are even warmer compared to trench coats, and they are really comfortable too. Aside from their functionality, they are available in amazing and stylish designs to elevate a casual outfit.

The fact that wool is breathable allows you to feel comfortable, while keeping you warm. The last thing you need is to start feeling like your clothes are getting drenched in sweat.

Black leggings are a must-have for anyone, which would explain why most of us will stock up several pairs of black leggings in our closet. Remember, there’s a different pair of black leggings for different occasions. So, having them around can be a lifesaver.
