Best Ways to Wear Your Letters During Winter Break

Winter break is a time for relaxation, holiday cheer, and, of course, spending time with family and friends. Whether you're visiting home, going on a trip, or just cozying up for some well-deserved rest, one thing you don't have to leave behind is your Greek affiliation and Greek Happy has you covered. While it might be tempting to ditch your sorority or fraternity letters during the colder months, there are plenty of ways to rock your letters in style while keeping warm. Plus, when you wear them with confidence, you're also representing the bond of your sisterhood or brotherhood!

Let us help you explore the best ways to wear your sorority or fraternity letters during winter break with a blend of comfort and style. Whether you’re lounging at home or hitting the slopes, you can show off your Greek pride with a variety of cozy yet fashionable outfits.

1. Layer Up with a Crew Neck Sweatshirt or Sweat Set

One of the easiest and most comfortable ways to wear your letters during winter break is by layering up with a sorority or fraternity crew neck sweatshirt. A cozy, oversized sweatshirt with your letters emblazoned across the front is both warm and a classic look. Crew neck Sweatshirts are perfect for cold winter days when you're heading out to run errands, meeting friends for coffee, or even staying in for a Netflix binge and they become a stylish statement when you wear them as a sweat set, like the Alpha Omicron Pi set shown above.

How to Style It:

• Casual Look: Pair your Greek Crew Neck Sweatshirt with leggings or skinny jeans and boots for a casual yet comfortable look. Add a scarf and some cozy gloves for a complete winter-ready outfit.
• Chic Vibes: Create a chic sweat set printed with your letters by wearing your crew neck with a pair of matching sweatpants for a put-together, casual look and a cozy, ensemble, as pictured above.
• Lounge at Home: If you’re staying home, make your Greek sweatshirt part of your lounge wear collection. Pair it with your favorite pair of leggings and a pair of fuzzy socks. You’ll be comfy and represent your letters at the same time.

2. Cozy Hoodies Offer a Laid-Back Look

Nothing says winter like a comfy sorority hoodie or sweatshirt. Luckily, you don’t have to choose between comfort and showing off your Greek letters. A hoodie or sweatshirt with your sorority or fraternity letters is an easy way to stay warm and show off your pride. And, now cropped hoodies are available in a wide range of colors and sizes and some are embroidered with your letters.  Whether you're spending time at home or heading out to see friends, this is a classic and comfortable outfit that never goes out of style.

How to Style It:

• Layered Under a Jacket: When it's freezing outside, throw your Greek hoodie under a jacket or coat. It adds another layer of warmth while giving you a casual, sporty look.
• With Sweatpants or Jeans: Pair your Greek hoodie with matching sweatpants for a comfortable, athleisure-inspired look or with your favorite pair of jeans for a more polished vibe.
• Accessorize with Beanies and Scarves: To complete the winter look, top off your hoodie with a stylish beanie. These Greek accessories add warmth while keeping you looking cool and casual.

Whether you’re in the middle of studying for finals or just lounging with friends, a sorority or fraternity hoodie or sweatshirt from Greek Happy will make sure you're looking and feeling your best.

3. Stylish Outerwear with Greek Letters are Great

Fortunately, outerwear with your sorority or fraternity letters is an awesome way to rep your Greek community while staying toasty.
