Layering 101: How to Wear Your Sustainable One Less Hoodies and Sweats All Year Round

Author: Rhea Malve

What is that one casual clothing item you can also wear outside and style it up like your coolest outfits? We’ll go first: hoodies. And to make it even better, let’s throw in sweat sets too. Gone are the days when we only wore shimmer, chiffons, and silks when we stepped out with a chic outfit. Thanks to more conscious fashion trends, we are seeing a rise in versatile clothing. Sweat sets with blazers and coats, stripped jammies, athleisure wear not just for the gym but also the gram, and oversized jerseys that sat in our wardrobes for countless seasons now being paired with skirts. We are all for this mindful, sustainable trend of reimagining fashion.

There’s something undeniably magnetic about a matching sweat set and an oversized hoodie that feels like a warm hug. They’re soft, stylish, and built to last when crafted with care and quality material like One Less' 100% organic cotton. And let’s not sleep on their versatility. The perfect line between cool, sporty athleisure and effortlessly cool casuals, sweat sets and hoodies are the secret weapon for looking relaxed yet pulled together.
Need an outfit that’s a no-brainer? Toss on a matching set. Got a full Sunday of errands or chores ahead? Your hoodie has your back. Working from home but want to look slightly more put-together than rolling out of bed? Problem solved. And for travel days? Hoodies and sweats are the MVPs for curling up mid-flight or breezing through airport security in comfort.

Sustainable sweat sets and hoodies: your year-round staples:

The beauty of sweat sets and hoodies lies in their versatility. Whether you're layering up for the cold, keeping it light for summer, or braving monsoon showers, these pieces adapt effortlessly to every season. With the right styling and layering hacks, you’ll never run out of ways to wear these cosy essentials. Here are some ways we love to layer and dress them up throughout the year:

Winter: Snug and stylish

Sweat sets and hoodies shine brightest when the temperatures dip, and layering is key.

Overcoats & Blazers: Pair a One Less cropped hoodie or Sweatshirt with a tailored overcoat and our sweatpants for that streetwear vibe.

Accessories: Add our Raffia bucket hat, a colour-blocked scarf, and gloves in complementary tones to tie the outfit together. Don’t forget our cosy, hypoallergenic bamboo socks.

Pro Tip: Stick to neutral or monochromatic sweat sets for a clean, polished winter look. 

Summer: Keep it lightweight and breezy

Sweats in summer? Hear us out, it’s all about strategic styling and breathable fabrics like One Less' 100% organic cotton.
Cropped Hoodies & Sweat Shorts: Swap your full-length sweats for our organic cotton shorts. Pair with sneakers of your choice for a sporty vibe.

Tied Around the Waist: Use your hoodie as an accessory by tying it around your waist when the heat kicks in, doubling up as a casual statement piece.

Layer with tank tops: Layer your hoodie or sweatshirt over our tencel tank top, by loosely tying it around your neck for an easy, breezy look.

Pro Tip: Stick to pastel shades or vibrant colours for a fresh, summery feel, and don’t forget your sunnies. 

Fall/Monsoon: Effortless and functional

When the weather’s unpredictable, sweat sets and hoodies are the ultimate layering garments.
Trench Coats & Rain Jackets: Layer your One Less hoodie or sweat set with a lightweight trench or waterproof raincoat to stay dry without compromising style.

Sneakers:  With many new homegrown footwear brands and hi-tech choices, opt for waterproof footwear to keep your look functional for monsoon puddles while still cute.

Add a Pop of Texture: Mix in knitted scarves or textured bags to add dimension to your outfit. For this cosy season, consider our cherry sweat set, and throw on an oversized windbreaker over your hoodie for that effortless, off-duty look.

Pro Tip: Stick to earthy tones like Burgandy, browns, and greens to blend seamlessly with the season.
