NOTE: In order to provide readers of my Blog with the most clothing options to choose from, I try out more styles than I’m personally able to buy and keep. I do my best to note which items I have personally bought. Please be aware that items with a “Buy” rating may not be ones I personally own. The “Buy” rating indicates that the clothing item passes my standards for garment fit. Additionally, there are “affiliate links” (i.e. a link with a special tracking code) in this blog post. If you purchase something via “affiliate links” on my blog, I may earn commission.

When it comes to work from home outfits, my formula is one part “real clothes” and one part “comfy clothes”, I find this helps me stay energized and focused during the day. (Check out my post here for more work from home outfit ideas). I definitely have a tendency to wear hoodies a lot because I’m constantly cold and always want to be comfy. However, most of my hoodies are from my college days so I wanted to find a few cuter options! Keep reading to see the ones I tried out!

BELLA + CANVAS Solid Crop Hoodie – Size Small

What I loved…

• Fit – Out of all the options I tried, this one fit me the best! It felt comfortable and didn’t feel too tight or restrictive anywhere. 

• Length – Even though this style is not a petite size, the sweatshirt length was ideal for wearing it with high rise jeans or trousers. 

• Comfy – The material of this sweatshirt is so incredibly soft!

What could have been better…

• Sleeve length – The sleeves are a tad long since it’s not a petite size, but it was not a dealbreaker for me. The sleeves weren’t as long as the Champion or Topshop sweatshirts below.

Garment measurements:

High point of shoulder to hem = 17’’ or 43.2 centimeters

Bust = 46.5’’ or 118.1 centimeters

Bottom opening = 43’’ or 109.2 centimeters

Sleeve length = 31.5’’ or 80 centimeters

Center back = 16’’ or 40.6 centimeters

Verdict: Buy! 

Topshop Crop Hoodie – Size Small

What I loved…

• Color – I was really feeling the dusty purple/mauve-ish color of this sweatshirt!

• Style – I thought that the style of this sweatshirt was super cute, however it was a bit too oversized on me. 

What could have been better…

• Sleeves length – For some reason I thought this sweatshirt was a petite size when I ordered it, but when it arrived I realized that it wasn’t because the sleeves were too long for me. If this sweatshirt was a bit more fitted, it would have been a yes for me. 

Garment measurements:

High point of shoulder to hem = 18.125’’ or 46 centimeters

Bust = 43.5’’ or 110.5 centimeters

Bottom opening = 30’’ or 76.2 centimeters

Sleeve length = 32.625’’ or 82.9 centimeters

Center back = 17’’ or 43.2 centimeters

Verdict: Don’t buy, shop around. 

Champion Crop Hoodie – Size Small

What I loved….

• Style – I loved that this sweatshirt had a bit of a sportier look to it! 

What could have been better…

• Sleeve length – Before I ordered this sweatshirt, I had a feeling that the sleeves were going to be too long, but I like the style so I wanted to give it a chance. 

Garment measurements:

High point of shoulder to hem = 15.875’’ or 40.3 centimeters

Bust = 44.5’’ or 113 centimeters

Bottom opening = 43’’ or 109 centimeters

Sleeve length = 33’’ or 83.8 centimeters

Center back = 14.875’’ or 37.8 centimeters

Verdict: Don’t buy, shop around.

Petite Studio NYC Small But Mighty Sweatshirt

What I loved…

• Whimsical design – I love the cute little saying embroidered on the sweatshirt! 

• Quality – Not only was the sweatshirt soft and comfortable, but it was very well made.

What could have been better…

• Fit – The fit of the sweatshirt in the bust area for both sizes was a bit funky on me. It didn’t fit my pear proportions well. I was really bummed that it didn’t me better because it’s so cute!

• Sizing – This sweatshirt definitely runs large. I normally wear a size Petite Small in most brands, but I also ordered a size down after reading the garment size chart on their website. Between the two sizes the X-Small was a better fit.

High point of shoulder to hem = 25.325’’ or 64.3 centimeters
