If you follow me on my Instagram (@AllenRobateau), then you already know I love wearing hoodies. I've been wearing them since middle school, and they've always been a staple in my wardrobe- as I'm sure in yours too. But sometimes, to give my look a more updated feel, I go for a longline hoodie. 

At first, when these hoodies were popping up, I didn't know how to style them or if they would look crazy on me. But I found a few tips on how to style a longline hoodie and I wanted to share them with you!

My first tip is to keep the look balanced. Most longline hoodies have a baggier fit since they go about mid-thigh, so be careful what pants you pair them with. My go-to is more of fitted denim, like skinny jeans or just straight leg. I wouldn't style the hoodie with a baggier jogger, for example, that would only take away from the longline hoodie.

The second tip is not to layer. I know I always layer to add some extra detail to an outfit but in this case, I never layer a longline t-shirt underneath the hoodie. It would just peek out and make the look seem messy. Just stick to one longline piece in your outfit!

Speaking of layering, if you need a jacket to wear on top of your longline hoodie, opt for a piece that is the same length, or even longer to keep everything balanced. I notice when I layer a regular length jacket on top, it doesn't look right.

This longline hoodie by Opening Ceremony I styled recently had a pop of red on it with the logo at the bottom hem and sleeves, a detail I love! Going monochromatic with an all-black is what looked the best to me and let the hoodie be the statement piece.

How do you feel about longline hoodies? I know there are mixed feelings on them, but I think when styled right, they're a hit!
