A women's sweatshirt is a long-sleeved, casual pullover garment, often made of thick cotton or fleece, that is designed to be more fitted to a woman's body than a men's version. They are a popular casual and athletic wear item, available in various styles including classic crewnecks, hoodies (which have a hood), zip-up fronts, cropped cuts, and oversized fits.
Key features of women's sweatshirts
- Cut and fit: Women's sweatshirts are typically made with a more tailored, fitted cut that tapers at the waist to follow the body's shape, unlike the straighter cut of men's styles.
- Style variety: They come in a wide range of styles beyond the classic crewneck, including:
- Hoodies: A sweatshirt with a hood, often with a kangaroo pocket on the front.
- Zip-up: A sweatshirt with a full or partial zipper down the front.
- Cropped: A shorter style that ends above the waist.
- Oversized: A looser, more relaxed fit.
- Material: They are commonly made from warm, soft materials like fleece, cotton, or a blend of both, designed for comfort.
- Versatility: Women's sweatshirts are highly versatile casual wear that can be paired with different outfits, from loungewear and athletic pants to jeans, skirts, or even tailored trousers for a mixed-style look.
