Sweatshirts have long been resigned to exercising, lazy Sundays, and cold nights in, but the epitome of comfort style can also be fresh, upscale, and tongue-in-cheek feminine. The evidence? Buddy by Valen Valen, a line of fitted sweatshirts with big, ol’ teddy bears, mishmash contrast stitching, and wild, retro prints. I’ve been dreaming about getting a signature Violet Valen sweatshirt as soon as I saw the cutesy teddy face popping out of a camouflaged pocket. How often is complete adorableness at home in brazen design? The answer: in every one of the twenty-two variations of awesome sweatshirts available in the Violet Valen store, all crafted from vintage teddy bears and recycled fabrics. Plus, offered free with every purchase is a white tee featuring a print of Teddy hanging out (and looking a little glum, I admit) in (what else?) a pocket. Watch the video to see how Violet works her stuffed-animal-to-reimagined-sweatshirt magic.
