Women's Sweatshirts and Jumpers on Sale

Brushed fleece or loopback: what's different inside

A sweatshirt is primarily recognised by its inner fabric. The brushed fleece, brushed to raise the fibres, is the warmest and softest, like the Haarleenaa Fleece from Armedangels. The loopback, or french terry, keeps small unbrushed loops: lighter and more breathable, it is suitable for mid-season. The weight, expressed in grams per square metre, indicates the thickness: around two hundred and fifty grams for a light sweatshirt, over three hundred for a dense, structured winter model. Sales are a great opportunity to aim for a high weight, which is a sign of durability.

Armedangels, certified organic cotton

Armedangels, a brand founded in Cologne in 2007, makes its sweatshirts from certified organic cotton, grown without synthetic chemical pesticides or GM seeds. The Frankaa, available in Iconic and Bold versions, is its flagship round neck, with a loose and relaxed fit; the Alizaa and Merinaa Links complete the range with sleeker lines. Organic cotton offers the same softness as conventional cotton and withstands repeated washes, as long as you wash at thirty degrees. Moss Copenhagen and KAFFE, two Danish brands, also offer sweatshirts with the typical clean lines of Scandinavian style.

Hooded, zipped or roll-neck sweatshirt: choosing your fit

The zippered hooded sweatshirt, like the adidas Essentials with three stripes on the sleeves or the Didriksons Ven from the Swedish brand founded in 1913, opens and closes based on temperature and layers easily. The short and loose sweatshirt Project X Paris Basic stops above the hips for a cropped silhouette, while the Honeycomb Effect model plays with texture. The roll-neck jumper Pieces Pcjuliana, made from knit, keeps the neck warm and has a dressier look, and the jacquard knit Pcjeria adds knitted patterns. The Nike Sportswear Air and Hummel Mover maintain a sporty appearance.

Sizes, washing and drying a women's sweatshirt

For a fitted sweatshirt, the usual size is enough; for an oversized effect, you might go up a size, except for models that are already cut loose like the Frankaa, where the sleeves would become too long. Cotton shrinks mainly in heat: wash at thirty degrees, inside out to protect embroideries and prints, and avoid the tumble dryer. A flat drying, on a towel, prevents the weight of the water from stretching the body and sleeves. Knitted jumpers, which are more delicate, should be washed on a wool cycle and stored folded, never hung, to avoid shoulder marks.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a sweatshirt and a jumper?

A sweatshirt is made from a soft and relaxed cotton fleece fabric. A jumper is knitted from wool, cotton, or blended fibres, with a dressier appearance and better heat regulation throughout the day.

How do you remove lint from a sweatshirt?

A lint razor, used flat without pressing, removes lint in a few minutes. To limit their return, wash the sweatshirt inside out, with items of the same texture, and avoid long cycles and strong spin.

Can an embroidered sweatshirt be washed like a printed sweatshirt?

Yes, inside out and at a low temperature, but embroidery requires avoiding strong spinning, which can strain the threads. Ironing inside out, on a thick towel, revives the texture of the design.

How can you tell a good quality sweatshirt?

Look at the density of the fabric and the finishing details: thick ribbed cuffs and hem, double-stitched seams at the shoulders. A sweatshirt that returns to its shape after being stretched will retain its form over washes.

Can you wear a hooded sweatshirt for sports?

Yes, for warming up or a session in cool weather. However, a 100% cotton model absorbs sweat; a sweatshirt made from a cotton and polyester blend, like some adidas or Hummel models, dries faster.
