The best sweatshirts to buy now and wear with everything
A versatile wardrobe essential.
Ah, the good old sweatshirt. Usually thought of as part of a tracksuit or just for loungewear, this upcoming season it's time to rethink this piece as a versatile wardrobe staple.
A cotton sweatshirt that is warmer than a T-shirt but not as thick as a knit is ideal for layering, and is the perfect throw-on as the for a casual work day or before/after a winter workout.
A simple crew neck style that fits just right instantly makes jeans feel clean and relaxed, perfect for your weekend wardrobe. Alternatively, pair a bold, coloured or patterned style with wide-leg trousers and have your shirt collars and cuffs popping out underneath for a cooler take on tailoring.
It's important to consider shapes and proportions when choosing your sweatshirt, as they come in oversized and fitted options. A fitted style generally feels smarter, as long as it's not too tight, whereas an oversized style has a sporty vibe and works better for off-duty days.
Make a cool statement by going for a slogan sweat; just keep the rest of your outfit plain so that the overall look isn't OTT. Alternatively a tie-dye top will instantly add a punch to your outfit, while still feeling chic. Details including voluminous shoulders and embroidered cuffs will also bring a feminine touch to this nonchalant piece.
