Quick answer
Choose your usual size for a relaxed, team-ready fit, then style the jersey as the loudest layer in a simple outfit: one bold piece, neutral bottoms, and accessories that echo the sublimated print rather than compete with it.
Why the sublimated print changes how you style it
A sublimated design puts the team graphics into the fabric itself, so the jersey reads as an all-over pattern rather than a single chest logo. That means it already does the visual work of a statement piece. Treat it like a printed top: keep the rest of the outfit quiet so the Howlers graphics stay the focus, and avoid layering another busy pattern directly against it.
Fit checkpoints before you commit to a size
The jersey is available in sizes S through 2XL, and the women's-specific cut is the main fit variable. Before deciding, check two things in a mirror: whether the shoulder seam sits near the edge of your shoulder, and whether you can raise your arms without the hem riding up past your waistband. If you plan to wear it over a hoodie or long sleeve, size for the layered version, not the solo version.
Steps to fit and style the jersey
- Start with your usual size, then check the shoulders: Try the jersey on over a thin tee and check that the shoulder seam sits close to your shoulder edge. Common mistake: sizing up immediately for a looser look, which can drop the shoulder seam and make the jersey look borrowed. If the shoulder seam falls more than an inch past your shoulder, try one size down before deciding.
- Test the hem with your go-to bottoms: Wear the jersey with the jeans, leggings, or shorts you plan to pair it with and raise your arms. The hem should stay near your waistband. If it rides up, either size up or choose higher-rise bottoms. The jersey should work with the bottoms you already own, not require a new pair.
- Decide on layering before you finalize the size: If you want to wear the jersey over a long-sleeve tee or hoodie, try it on with that layer underneath. A size that fits solo may feel tight across the back when layered. Buy for the layered version if you plan to wear it in cooler months.
- Build the outfit around one bold piece: Pair the sublimated jersey with solid, neutral bottoms such as black jeans, white shorts, or gray leggings. Add one accessory that picks up a color from the print, like a cap or sneakers, and stop there. If two items in the outfit are fighting for attention, remove one.
- Tuck, knot, or leave it loose based on the silhouette: A full tuck defines the waist with high-rise bottoms; a front tuck works with mid-rise; leaving it loose suits a relaxed, game-day look. Avoid knotting a sublimated jersey tightly at the hem, which can distort the print and stretch the fabric. Choose the tuck based on your bottoms' rise, not on the trend of the moment.
- Finish with footwear that matches the occasion: Sneakers keep the look casual for everyday wear; boots or cleaner trainers dress it up slightly for a night out. Keep the shoe color simple so the jersey remains the focal point. If you are unsure, white or black sneakers will work with almost any sublimated jersey outfit.
