Quick Buying Guide — Women's Sweatshirts

  • Fit: Oversized sweatshirts are the most popular style — size down if you want a relaxed fit rather than truly oversized.
  • Fabric weight: Fleece-lined sweatshirts are warmest for autumn/winter. French terry is lighter for mild weather. Check the GSM (grams per square metre) if listed — 300GSM+ is a quality heavyweight.
  • Style: Crewneck is the most classic and versatile. Half-zip adds a smart casual edge. Hoodies offer more warmth and coverage.
  • Graphics: Graphic prints fade faster than plain styles — check reviews for print durability before buying.
  • Washing: Turn inside out before washing to preserve colour and print quality. Avoid tumble drying fleece styles.
