Kids' Sweatshirts and Jumpers on Sale

Hoodie or crew neck for school

The crew neck, with no drawstring or hood, is the simplest option for school: it's quick to put on, can be worn alone or layered and doesn't get in the way against a chair's backrest. The hoodie, like the Guess Core in fleece or models from Project X Paris, keeps the head warm during breaks; for younger kids, the European standard EN 14682 bans drawstrings in hoods until the age of seven to prevent any risk of snagging. The zip-up, like the Guess Active Mini Me, opens when the classroom is warm and closes in the yard. The sales allow for combining these two styles in the wardrobe.

Nike Tech Fleece and Guess: two different fleeces

The Nike Tech Fleece, launched in 2013, is made from a three-layer fabric: two cotton jerseys enclose a layer of synthetic foam, which provides warmth without the bulk of traditional fleece. Its smooth surface and fitted cut are popular with teenagers. Guess, founded in Los Angeles in 1981, offers a more traditional fleece, brushed inside, with its well-known triangular logo; the Mini Me version mirrors the styles of adult collections. Desigual, based in Barcelona, brings the Miky Rock, a hoodie with vibrant graphic patterns.

Puma Ferrari, Erima and Jack & Jones: sweats for enthusiasts

The Puma Ferrari Big Shield features the large prancing horse emblem of the Italian team, for young Formula One fans. The Erima Evo Star comes from the oldest active German sports brand, founded in Reutlingen in 1900 and a specialist in club equipment: it’s suitable for both warm-ups and everyday wear. The Jack & Jones Corp hoodie, from the Danish Bestseller group, showcases its logo. Name it and Only, from the same group, dress girls in colourful models, with hoods or crew necks, like the Luffa, Nugga or Fonja.

Washing a child's sweat without damaging logos and fleece

A child's sweat often goes in the washing machine: to keep its appearance, turn it inside out before washing, which protects logos, embroidery and prints from rubbing against the drum. A temperature of thirty degrees is enough for everyday laundry and helps limit cotton shrinkage. The tumble dryer, especially on high heat, can crack prints and harden the fleece: it’s better to dry flat or on a rack, without pegs on the shoulders. Lastly, zip up zippers before washing so they don’t snag on other items.

Frequently asked questions

What size sweatshirt should I choose for a child?

It's best to rely on the size in centimetres, which corresponds to the child's height, rather than their age. One size up allows room for the year, as long as the sleeves can be rolled without getting in the way of the hands.

How do you wash a Nike Tech Fleece sweatshirt?

Inside out, at thirty degrees, with a mild detergent and no fabric softener, which dirties the fabric structure. Avoid high-temperature tumble drying and dry flat to keep its shape.

How do you remove a grass stain from a child's sweatshirt?

Rub the stain with a bit of Marseille soap or liquid detergent, let it sit for a few minutes, then wash at thirty degrees. For a light-coloured sweatshirt, an enzymatic stain remover can tackle the toughest marks.

What is a Mini Me sweatshirt?

It’s a children's style that mimics the design of an adult garment from the brand, so parent and child can dress in matching outfits. Guess offers its Active zip-up sweatshirt in a girl’s version.

Can a club sweatshirt Erima be printed on?

Yes, team sweats can be printed with the name, number, or club logo, typically with heat transfer. It should then be washed inside out and at a low temperature to preserve the print.
