one of my favorite sweatshirts from amazon and how I styled it

Here’s a cute idea for how to style a sweatshirt (even if you’re pregnant). Layer your sweatshirt with a tank and spruce it up with a fun hair accessory!

This sweatshirt has held up pretty well, I’m still wearing it 2 years later!

 

Links & Sweatshirt Styles: Pullover Hoodies

Amazon brands have great ratings and this Hooded Tunic Sweatshirt is no different. There are multiple color options in sizes XS-XXL.

 

 

This French Terry Fleece Hoodie is also from an Amazon brand and has 32(!) color/print options, many of which are available in plus sizes! Available in sizes XS-6X!

 

 

The neckline on this one is fun! V-Neck Hooded Sweatshirt available in sizes XS-XXL.

 

 

A ton of solid color options and printed or colorblock options to choose from in sizes S-3X.

 

 

This is probably one of my top favorites of all the styles we are showing here. Just slightly relaxed with a hoodie and snaps up the front. Lots of color options and available in sizes S-XXL.
