Overview
- In a new Vogue Life in Looks segment, Grande explains she defaulted to oversized sweatshirts in 2018 because she lacked the mental energy to think about clothes.
- She adds that pairing the hoodies with thigh-high boots still gave her a sense of confidence during that period.
- The reflection ties the look to a difficult stretch after the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing, about which she has discussed anxiety and PTSD.
- That year also included the death of her ex-boyfriend Mac Miller in September 2018 and the end of her brief engagement to Pete Davidson the following month.
- Coverage notes the style’s broader reach, with a Lyst report citing a 2018 surge in searches for oversized hoodies, though that impact is reported rather than independently verified.
