If the word "sweatshirt" conjurs images of lazy weekend mornings or trips to the gym, prepare for a slight adjustment. One look at Kerry Washington on the cover of Elle's April issue will convince you that the time-honored wardrobe staple is, in fact, quite chic. Inside the magazine, Kerry models a range of perfect-for-Spring looks from designers including Versace, Chloé, and Altuzarra.
But we still just can't get over that sweatshirt. The one Kerry models is Shinola Women's Cassius Clay Sweatshirt ($180), which she wears paired with Cartier earrings and bracelets by Van Cleef & Arpels. She got us mulling over the idea of the luxury sweatshirt, and unsurprisingly, it's a trend we can get behind. Read on to see Kerry's full shoot for Elle and to shop some other gorgeous tops right now.
