In its natural state, it can be paired with a matching set of sweatpants and a baggy tee. Adding a swanky necklace, crisp sneakers, and stellar shades creates a fit comparable to Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's style.

Unzipped, it can display a graphic tee like a picture frame, similar to a cardigan. Alternatively, it can be worn over a dress shirt and baggy tailored trousers for a unique, Scandinavian-inspired look.
