11 Luxe Sweatshirts That Are Comfy & Chic

Adulting is hard — You mean, I can't wear the same pair of jeans and my college sweatshirt everyday? Since joining the "real world," certain types of attire are no longer acceptable in the workplace, and that's a huge bummer. Luckily, chic sweatshirts are a thing, meaning you can be equally comfortable and equally elegant, whether you're headed to the office or you're brunching on the weekends.

When I was accepted at Emerson College, I immediately went to the bookstore and bought myself the purple and white sweatshirt that I would wear for years to come. It came with me everywhere — On family vacations, sleepovers with friends, frat parties when I didn't feel like putting on a jacket....Basically, we had a history, and I'm surprise it's actually still alive. Now, I wear it sparingly, afraid that the threads will finally give out on me.

And with the lines of office wear and casual wear blurring, it's easier to get away with putting on more comfortable pieces and ditching the blazer every single day thing. Formal sweatpants are actually acceptable (hello, joggers), and jeans? They're not just for casual Fridays anymore. Of course, this depends on your industry, but for some, casual work attire is the way to go.

In an effort to really maximize my closet, I've been looking for pieces that double for both weekend and weekday wear, starting with a chic sweatshirt that'll both feel ultra comfy, but keep me looking put together.
