Style advice for the Erin Sweatshirt
Erin sweatshirt for X- and 8-types
The Erin sweatshirt shows off your figure nicely through its emphasis on the waist. You benefit from garments that play on your natural curves and accentuate your waistline.
The Erin sweatshirt and its 3/4-length sleeves draw the eye even more to your waist; however, the long sleeve version also looks great on you.
Always go for fabric with a fluid drape. Stiffer fabrics are a no go because they do nothing to highlight your curves and make your upper body look too straight and heavy.
Pairing the Erin sweatshirt with straight leg skinny trousers, or high-waisted, flared trousers, such as the Bertha or Miyu trousers is a match made in heaven. Make the trousers in fabric with a fluid drape. The same goes for skirts. For example, you could go for a high-waisted skirt like the Pina.
Erin sweatshirt for V-types
When it comes to V-types, the shoulders are the body's widest area. That’s why you should make this top long enough, i.e. hip length. Discover a simple way to do that here.
Go for the long sleeve version. Your aim is to draw attention to the lower body.
Pair the Erin sweatshirt with trousers that have enough volume at the hips, such as the Billie trousers. Or you could go for flared trousers, such as the Bertha or Miyu trousers.
Erin sweatshirt for H-types
Your straight figure doesn’t call for any emphasis of the waist. It’s important for you to retain your figure’s balanced proportions and to draw attention towards the lower body. That's why you should be sure to make the top long enough. That ensures that the upper body doesn't look too short and the horizontal line of the hem won't rest at the waist. See how to do that here.
Perfect combo: the Erin sweatshirt with straight leg or slightly flared trousers, such as the Bertha.
Erin sweatshirt for O-types
If you’re an O-type, then you want to make sure the focus isn’t on your waistline. That means the standard Erin sweatshirt isn't a good match for you. So, how can you wear this top? Lengthen the Erin to the hips (or a touch longer), don't elasticise the waistband and avoid thick or stiff fabrics. Your goal is to wear the top long enough to create vertical, lengthening lines.
Pair the Erin sweatshirt with straight leg trousers, such as the Peaches trousers, or pair it with the Pina skirt.
Erin sweatshirt for A-types
The A-type aims to make the upper body the key focus. That’s why you should go for fabric in a striking design or with horizontal stripes, in flashy or light colours. That will make your top a real eye-catcher. You may want to make the neckline slightly wider than what’s in the original pattern. That way you'll showcase your shoulders more and create a balanced silhouette.
Pair with flared trousers, such as the Bertha or Miyu trousers, or an A-line skirt in a colour that’s plainer than the top. Doing that will create visual balance for your silhouette.
Erin sweatshirt for I-types
The Erin sweatshirt introduces more volume to the I-type’s straight body. Adding a few extra details is a great idea for your body shape. That's why you should make the Erin in fabric with a design, in a striking colour or in a textured fabric.
The 3/4-length sleeve version looks best for your body shape. Pair with flared trousers, such as the Bertha or Miyu trousers, or an A-line skirt – the Jutta skirt, for example.
