Women's sweatshirts and hoodies, with or without zips
The women's sweatshirt comes in hoodie, zip-up or round neck styles, in oversized or cropped cuts, made from soft brushed fleece on the inside or lighter organic cotton. Among the brands available are: Colorful Standard, Ragwear, Guess, KAFFE, b.young and Project X Paris.
A plain hooded sweatshirt in thick fleece remains the easiest to wear with jeans.
Hoodie, zip-up or crew neck?
The hoodie is the most casual: perfect for the weekend, light sports and travel. The zip-up hoodie can be opened and closed depending on the temperature, like a light jacket.
The crew neck sweatshirt, without a hood, is easier to wear in the city: over a shirt, under a blazer or with a skirt.
Oversized or fitted sweatshirt?
An oversized sweatshirt with dropped shoulders and long sleeves is worn with fitted bottoms, like leggings or slim jeans. A fitted or cropped sweatshirt goes well with high-waisted trousers and skirts.
How to wear a women's sweatshirt?
With jeans or wide women's trousers and women's sneakers, the sweatshirt creates the ultimate casual outfit. With a pleated or midi skirt, it adds a more stylish contrast.
Under a long coat or a blazer, a plain crew neck sweatshirt becomes a city outfit.
What material for a sweatshirt?
Fleece, brushed on the inside, is the softest and warmest; looped fleece, unbrushed and lighter, is suitable for mid-season. An organic cotton sweatshirt is also soft, made from cotton grown without synthetic pesticides.

Wash it inside out, at 30 °C, with clothes of the same material, and avoid the tumble dryer which causes pilling and shrinks cotton.

Frequently asked questions
What size sweatshirt should I choose for an oversized look?
For a classic model, one to two sizes up; an oversized model should be taken in your usual size. Check the sleeve length.
How to prevent a sweatshirt from shrinking?
Wash it at a maximum of 30 °C and let it dry naturally: the heat from the tumble dryer causes cotton to shrink. Pre-washed cotton shrinks much less.
Can a sweatshirt be worn in a chic way?
Yes, a plain crew neck sweatshirt under a long coat, with tailored trousers and loafers. The contrast of styles creates the chic look.
How to restore a sweatshirt's softness?
Wash it without fabric softener, which can clog the fibres over time, and add a bit of white vinegar during the rinse. The fleece will regain its softness without becoming heavy.
How to remove pills from a sweatshirt?
A pill remover used gently will remove them without damaging the fleece. After that, wash the sweatshirt inside out to limit their return.
