Sep 26, 2017 - Shopping Various sweatshirts I’m liking right now
Sweatshirts are good for lounging, of course, but I like them layered under coats and jackets for a casual-chic kind of a look. (It’s a look I overdid about a decade ago, but I’m feeling ready to re-embrace it.) I love this, with Zoe Karssen’s trademark bat.
Here’s one I actually own. It reminds me of prep school—not always a good thing—but in a nice way.
The message that never gets old.
The side-zipper here is just aces.
And of course I’m all over this because it’s blue and black, a combination I love.
This reminds me of the Agnes B snap cardigans that were so big in the 80s.
A camo choce, but of course.
This is actually a dress if you can believe it, but I like the idea of wearing it with leather leggings.
And finally, a splurgy choice from Comme des Garcons that I have wanted for years but can’t quite bring myself to spring for.

I was born in Houston, Texas in 1964 and have lived in New York City since 1988. I had a long career in magazines, working at Sassy, Elle, New York, and Spin, and in 2000, I founded Lucky magazine, which I edited for ten years.
The Comme des Garcons Play line makes me INSANE with want, but I can never quite justify it. It’s my favorite of the bunch, though.
Insane with want. Very funny.
i remember those agnes b. cardigans!
The FEMINIST sweatshirt is so good. The material is great and it’s kinda slouchy in the shoulders – it’s also bat wing-like. Recently, it’s my go-to sweatshirt.
YES! I got the Feminist AF one from that Etsy site last year and wear it constantly. Brings me joy.
I got the very one you show, Kim, and I can attest to its softness, not too tight neck, and quality for the price of a few Starbucks!
Am I the only one who remembers Zoran’s great sweatshirts? Best Italian cotton fabric, came in red, white and black with pull-on skirts and pants to match/coordinate. The ultimate in chic casual.
Want the Zoe Karrsen bat sweatshirt badly.
Also, Comme de Garcons. But who doesn’t.
My wife still wears those Agnes B. snap cardigans. 🙂
Sadly, I got rid of mine…but what a testament to quality!
I still wear my agnes b cardigans. I think they are chic and timeless.
That red sweat dress is right up my 8th grade self’s alley, I had a turquoise version sans hood.
Lol!!! You’re younger than me… this is how I dressed as a new mom. (Covered my “stomach junk,” as Kim would say!)
I am desperate for a new black hoodie – not super athletic with white strings, but all black. Advice welcomed!
