Anything that boosts our moods right now can only be a good thing and our bold & bright sweatshirts will definitely do just that! We caught up with the lovely Alex Sutton, fashion and beauty influencer, on all things from lockdown to loungewear as she shows us her four favourite ways to style the Baleen Sweatshirt in to your stay-at-home wardrobe.

'Hey everyone, it's Alex! I don't know about you, (although I can guess) but I'm LIVING in loungewear, it has become part of my daily routine, after having breakfast and showering, to force myself to get ready rather than staying in my PJs all day - this has consisted of various loungewear pieces, which really helps lift my mood.
.I was gifted the cute Baleen Sweatshirt to see how easy it is to style with various pieces I already had at home and you'll see below just how effortless it is to wear. Look one featured the Baleen with simple white joggers and my Balenciaga trainers. If you've watched my IGTV video, you'll see underneath I styled the joggers with a red bralette to match!

Look two, again with the red bralette underneath, I have teamed the Baleen with my light blue ripped mom jeans from Stradivarius, white Birkenstocks, a red mini backpack and black triangular sunnies for a more 'dressed up' look if you're heading out for a daily stroll.
.

Look three is my personal favourite, I would say it depicts my 'lock down' style! Under the Baleen sweatshirt I am wearing a longline black bralette, with my black Gym Shark cycle shorts, Balenciaga trainers, black ankle socks, cap and bum bag. I have already worn this outfit a couple of times when out on my daily walk and just tie the sweatshirt round my waist when the sun comes out.
.
.
Last but not least is look four which I have teamed the Baleen with a white bra top underneath, simple black high waisted leggings, trainers and styled with a high ponytail. I love the oversized look when wearing a sweatshirt and the fit of this one is just perfect!! The colours are also really easy to match with anything and the Baleen comes in two other great colour combinations - I am wearing a size medium for a cosy relaxed fit.

So if you're getting fed up of reaching for the same loungewear day in, day out then there's never been a better time to take a look at our sustainable casual collections made right here in Britain.

Layer with the Weybourne Quarter Zip Fleece
On cooler coastal days, the Cherry Roller Bangle adds a subtle touch of colour and craftsmanship when worn with the Weybourne Quarter Zip Fleece. The rich red and navy enamel beads echo the classic country and coastal colour palette that Whale of a Time is known for.

Comfort & Style with the Penzance Puffer Jacket
When the temperature drops, the Hiho Silver x Whale of a Time jewellery collection adds a refined finishing touch to cosy layers like the Penzance Puffer Jacket.

Style with the Torbay Deck Shirt
For super easy style, the Hiho Silver x Whale of a Time Dinky Charms Necklace pairs beautifully with the Torbay Deck Shirt.
