Crewneck Pullover Sweaters + Striped Leggings

Pair your new favorite Aerie Move leggings with a cute AE women’s sweater for a look and feel you’ll love day in and day out. It’s the best on-the-go outfit for transitioning from an early morning class to a coffee date with the girls, and keeps your look fresh with all kinds of new prints and colors. AE crewneck sweaters use bold colors and graphics so you can wear your heart (and your style) on your sleeve all winter long. Relaxed silhouettes are cut for extra comfort for a fit that’s laid-back but not too baggy, which helps keep up the comfy but sporty vibe. Wear your pullover sweater with leggings for a fit that’s all about comfort – from the high-waisted design of the leggings to the super soft, cozy feel of the sweater. Complete this look with a pair of sneakers on your way to gym and you’re set with an athletic look you’ll love.

Open Back Pullover Sweaters + Leopard Print Leggings

Want something a little more colorful to start your day? Aerie Move leggings have bright, bold graphics to stand out among the sea of black leggings in your dresser drawers. While those classic black leggings will always have a place in your heart and your dresser, sometimes you want to switch it up with something a little more fun. Cute details like track stripes, leopard prints + more elevate this look with a touch of color brilliant enough to brighten even the dreariest winter days. Since your printed leggings are the star of the show in this outfit, choose a neutral colored sweater to complete your look. Open back pullover sweaters mean you can show off your Aerie bralette, and they make transitioning from errands to the gym effortless. Choose a sports bra with the same pattern for a cute matching style in your next spin class, or change things up with a different print for a bold mix & match vibe.
