Organic cotton and fleece: how the material makes a difference
On a women's sweatshirt, the material influences comfort as much as fit. Organic cotton, grown without synthetic pesticides, is at the heart of Armedangels models, which rely on the GOTS label: this governs the fibre, as well as dyeing and manufacturing. Brushed fleece, napped on the inside, provides the cosy feel of the Haarleenaa, designed for cold days, while a thinner fleece layers easily without restricting movement. Blends of cotton and recycled polyester, common among sports brands, dry faster and wrinkle less, which is a plus for a sweatshirt thrown on right after training.

Round neck, hood or half-zip: which style for which occasion
The round neck remains the most versatile: the Frankaa and Alizaa from Armedangels, organic cotton sweatshirts without zippers, can be worn at the office or on the weekend. The hooded sweatshirt, like the one from Athlecia, provides neck protection after a workout and tightens with its drawstring. The half-zip Fred Perry, with its high collar that can be opened or closed depending on the temperature, offers a more polished look. In terms of fit, the Moss Copenhagen sweatshirts have a loose fit and simple lines, while a more fitted style, cinched at the waist by a ribbed band, shows off the silhouette better.
Armedangels, Moss Copenhagen, Athlecia: three approaches to sweatshirts
Founded in Cologne in 2007 by Anton Jurina and Martin Höfeler, Armedangels built its reputation on basics in organic cotton, including the Iconic line that features its signature sweatshirts like the Frankaa and Alizaa. Moss Copenhagen, a Danish label with simple and feminine lines, designs loose-fitting sweatshirts with soft finishes, like the Ima or the Dalvina. Athlecia, another Danish brand, creates its clothing around women's body shapes for an active life, from workouts to busy days. Nike adds to the selection with the Sportswear Air, and Payper with the Panama, a casual everyday sweatshirt.
Taking care of a sweatshirt to keep its shape and colour
A sweatshirt should be washed inside out, at a maximum of thirty degrees, using a detergent for colours: this means the friction against the drum occurs on the inside, keeping prints or embroidery protected. Unprocessed organic cotton may shrink slightly on the first wash, which is why a gentle cycle and moderate spin are advisable. It's best to avoid the tumble dryer, which can stiffen the ribbed edges and compress the brushed fleece: it's recommended to dry the sweatshirt flat on a towel, rather than hanging it by the shoulders, which would stretch it. To remove wrinkles, a gentle iron on the inside is enough, always avoiding printed logos.
Frequently asked questions
What size sweatshirt should I choose for an oversized effect?
If the style is already cut loosely, like with Moss Copenhagen, stick to your usual size. For a classic fit, going up a size gives more room, provided you check that the sleeves don’t cover your hands completely.
How should I store my sweatshirts to save space?
Roll them instead of folding: with sleeves tucked behind, the bottom rolled up a few centimetres, then start rolling from the neckline. When stored upright in a drawer, they can be spotted at a glance and won’t crease.
Sports sweatshirt or casual sweatshirt: what's the difference?
A sports sweatshirt, like the one from Athlecia, prioritises fibres that wick away sweat and dry quickly. A casual sweatshirt made from thick cotton focuses on softness and warmth but retains moisture longer after exercise.
What does the GOTS label guarantee on an organic cotton sweatshirt?
The Global Organic Textile Standard certifies that the fibre is sourced from organic farming and oversees the entire chain, from spinning to manufacturing, with environmental and social criteria. Armedangels relies on this label for its sweatshirts.
How can I prevent a dark sweatshirt from fading?
Wash it inside out, in cold water or at thirty degrees, with a detergent for dark colours, and space out washes by airing it between days. Drying it away from direct sunlight also helps preserve the intensity of the colour.
