Imagine yourself after a good, summertime game of tennis (or any sport for that matter). You want to throw on something breathable and cute to grab a lobster roll afterwards. Imagine yourself after a sun-filled day on the beach. The breeze has kicked in and you’re ready for an easy layer to cozy up in as you make your way home. Imagine yourself running errands to host a barbecue and you want something that is effortless and comfortable. Most of all, you want something chic! Enter the Dudley Stephens Hendrie Sweatshirt.
Today at 10am ET, Dudley Stephens is launching their Nantucket collection! Filled with colors inspired by the Grey Lady, everything is ideal for summertime living. Something I am so excited about is the Hendrie Sweatshirt! At first, I did not fancy myself a hoodie girl, but this one is a hoodie unicorn. While the Dudley turtlenecks are 100% a desert island-nothing can beat this-I could live in this layer, the hoodie is different, but just as good. It has a different fit and feel than the Dudley turtlenecks and serves a completely different purpose! Ever since I got mine last week, I haven’t been able to take it off.
The sweatshirt comes in Dudley’s Terry fabric, which is my favorite. Especially for summer. The fabric feels like a lighter fleece and Terry cloth had a baby and it came out being the ideal warm weather layer. The sweatshirt itself runs more generously than their turtlenecks do, which I love for the nature of a hoodie. The proportions here are also cut a little differently, the fit is not as slim and the shoulders are a bit broader. I love that because when I think of a hoodie, I think of layering, ease and on-the-go, so that extra room makes perfect sense.
If you are in-between sizes and want a slimmer fit, perhaps size down one. But, if you are on the curvy side I’d stick with your regular size and enjoy the room! if the xxl Dudley was historically just a smidge too small, this one should work! My Curvy Guide to Dudley Stephens covers all their core styles with my tips for sizing and fit. I’ll be sure to add this to the roster, since this has a different fit and feel. But, if you have any general Dudley questions my guide is a great resource.
Don’t forget, this hoodie is dropping today at 10am ET on Dudley-Stephens.com!
