9 of the best women's sweatshirts to wear 24/7
Ah the humble sweatshirt, perhaps one of the most versatile pieces in our wardrobes and a piece we admit we can never have enough of. You'll find us donning this iconic piece of outerwear everywhere from the gym to the office, lounging around the house or even out for dinner if you play your cards right.
Not to be confused with a classic jumper, which sits firmly in the knitwear department, the humble sweatshirt is easily distinguishable by its stretchy jersey fabrication. Making it perfect for pre and post-workout layering. Similarly, we're not talking about hoodies here. When we say sweatshirt we mean a crewneck (or mock neck), but there is still plenty of variety.
Now while we laud the sweatshirt for its extreme comfort and lounginess, let's not deny it has some serious sartorial chops and can be dressed up or down with ease. Want something slightly elevated but want to stay cosy against winter and spring chills? Pair your sweatshirt with a silky slip skirt and kitten heels–or combat boots for a bit of edge–or otherwise a pair of smart trousers or a tailored blazer plays on the high low of it all. Otherwise throw it on with your favourite leggings or sweatpants for the perfect gym, errand or lounge look.
Convinced? We don't blame you. Below are our favourite sweatshirts on the market that we're adding to cart for the end of winter and spring, consider this your hint to be inspired.
