This past Fall I started a Styling Series on Tik-tok and Instagram reels. All videos of me putting together looks piece by piece to show how I style each look. The styling series did so well that I am carrying it over into the New Year!
The new styling series’ will be a little different, in addition to the styling videos on Tik-Tok and Instagram they’ll also be co-joining blog posts with images of each look and descriptions of the key pieces.
As always, each image in this blog post is shoppable. All you have to do is click the photo.
For the first series I wanted to do something very Winter and COVID related so we’re doing a Sweatsuit Series!!! There’s so many ways to style a sweatsuit and so many sweatsuit variations weather you want a loosey goosey comfortable set or something you can wear out for drinks.
I do consider myself to be a sweatsuit connoisseur, sweats have been a staple in my wardrobe over 20 years. It’s without a doubt the largest section in my closet.
OVERSIZED MEN’S AMAZON SET
CARRIE NAME NECKLACE
One of the best sellers of all time *Kanye voice* from my shop is the Carrie Name Necklace.
She comes in 18kt Gold dipped, 18kt Rose Gold dipper, Sterling Silver and/or 14kt Solid Gold.
I have both the dipped and Solid gold options.
The 18kt Gold dipped in a 14″ chain is shown here.
QUALITY & CARE
Because all of the pieces in my shop are all solid metal you don’t have to worry about it changing colors, fading or tarnishing. This specific necklace I’ve had 2-3 years and one of those years I wore it daily!

HOODIE
This is men’s, XL I believe. I typically wear a Medium in women’s for reference. I can’t remember the brand of the set but together it was under $25
JOGGERS
These are from the same brand as the hoodie, I believe these are a men’s Large. Medium is my normal size for reference. These have no pockets and the drawstring is on the inside of the pants.
HIGH TOP NIKE’S
You probably won’t see me wearing these in the Summer because these are NOT cankle friendly lolol For winter I wanted a few pairs of shoes that are a boot height to keep my ankles warm in the cold. I thought high top sneakers would be great especially to wear with sweats.
These sneakers are also really cute with the Spanx Leather Leggings. These were a very popular style during Christmas and were a challenge to get a hold of as they were in and out of stock.
Sizing: TTS
COAT
This is a vintage wool coat I thrifted last Summer. A statement coat is key to pulling together an oversized sweatsuit. While some may think it’s too dressy to pair with sweats, that’s actually what pulls the look together and makes it look more polished.

This kept being served to me in ads and every time I clicked it was sold out so when I saw it in-store I snatched it up. It is very oversized. I’m wearing my TTS and there’s plenty of room “to grow” lol
I can see this with sneakers in the Spring for a quick errand look.

TOP
Hands down my favorite set of the season. I love the shape and material so much I just bought the oversized joggers version. Those are linked too. The top of this set is easily a TTS. You can size down if your size is out of stock.
PANTS
Mentioned previously, this set is oversized. I bought both my TTS and a size down while both “fit” I much preferred my TTS and the how they hung, oversized and flowy.
OVERSIZED JOGGERS + BLAZER

SCRIPT NAME NECKLACE
The 2020 Top Seller in my shop is the delicate and feminine Script Name Necklace.

They are pieces that will last for years. I’ve had this specific necklace over a year.
HEART INITIAL RING
HEART INITIAL RING
I love this fun girly heart ring, it’s a really fun piece for Spring and Summer. I got mine to fit my pinky because …. I was into a pinky ring vibe when I ordered it lol

BLAZER
I don’t wear jackets or blazers in my day to day life so I decided to thrift a men’s blazer for an oversized fit to go with a few looks … including this one.
I’m not a big thrifter but do love thrifting coats and outerwear as I love the quality of older pieces and I don’t want to spend on the quality I want if I were to buy it new. Thrifting is also a great way to test out items before splurging on something new but the same style/
HOODIE
My hoodie is last season from Everlane so it’s sold out. It’s one of my favorites because it’s a bit shrunken with a crop like fit. Seriously love this hoodie!
JOGGERS
Highly, Highly recommend these. I’ve been look for a pair of plain oversized sweatpants for a year but have had zero lucky when it comes to fit and quality. I did not want to get these to fill that void because of the Nike check logo and front piping butttt these are exactly what I was looking for fit and quality wise so we’ll overlook the logo.
Size: Runs TTS
OVERSIZED SET
SWEATSUIT SET
This look isn’t link like the others because the sweats aren’t linkable through liketoknow.it and the shacket is sold out. I have linked the set to the brands wesbsite.
The hoodie is the Cozy Boyfriend Hoodie.
Pants are the MEGA style both in my TTS, Medium.
This line is high quality, super comfortable and great to lounge in or wear out and about.
LOGO SET
*black owned*
INITIAL BAR NECKLACE
If you don’t like your name emblazed across your necklace this subtle initial bar necklace is a subtle way to enjoy personalized jewelry.
This Initial Bar Necklace was a part of the Holiday Collection in my shop, shopjuliamarie.com
She is being discontinued in January so you can get her on SALE for the next week!
She comes in gold, rose or silver.
I wear mine on a 14″ chain but 16″ chains are much more popular as the 14″ is literally a choker on most people.
