With A Duster Coat, Button-down, Leggings And Sneakers
Layering 101: Draping a duster coat over a graphic crewneck and button-down equals total badass. Plus, a longer shirt underneath means you can totally get away with the whole “leggings-as-pants” look.

With A Pencil Skirt And Heels
Not all sweatshirts are created equal, however. Velvet or sequin embellishments mean you can really kick things up a notch. Try balancing out a bulkier number with a fitted pencil skirt for the ultimate office-to-happy-hour uniform.
