Let’s Find This Reader an Everyday Sweatshirt!

Try your local skateboard shop – they should have some solid sweatshirt options.

Yes! That jcrew one is perfection! It feels like a real shirt. I wear it everywhere. Love the length fits right below my natural waist so it is very flattering with a pair of high waisted jeans. I have them in three colors and where them every week in rotation. They fade beautifully too! Breathes great too since it’s 100% cotton.

New = Lands End. Great hoodies.
But my favorites are always from thrifting. You find much more fun stuff, it’s cheaper, and its super soft. :)

Definitely the Encircled Dressy Sweatshirt – it’s comfy, stylish and ethically-made.

They’ve got one that’s made from a blend of Merino Bamboo French Terry that’s dreamy. And, it’s made locally in Toronto (they’re also a certified B corporation and female-founded)

Late to the game with a comment. Dearborn Denim is a Chicago brand which makes jeans, tees and sweats, ethically and locally. Their sweatshirt is thick and cozy. Thick enough to keep you warm in Chicago winters. Oh and they are priced well at $49. Their jeans are great too!

Dudley Stephens fleece lock neck sweatshirts are all I wear.

At the beginning of the pandemic, I splurged on an ice dye sweatshirt from Anna Joyce on etsy. It has become my favorite article of clothing and I wear it almost every day. I love it so much and it’s only gotten better and more comfortable with every wash. Also brings a little je ne sais quoi to my zoom calls with co-workers and clients. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I used to live in $80 Nordstrom cashmere sweaters. I think Caslon? Just simple crew necks on top of a bamboo/cotton t-shirt. Sadly ourNordstrom has closed and I’m too impatient for online ordering.

Jcrew has one that you guys have posted in the past, and Everlane has a good raglan. BUTTTTTT in 2021, I’m not going to be so subtle…. I got this leopard billabong pullover:

A couple great made-in-Canada options, Kotn and Franc–simple, cozy and colourful.

The Franc Crewneck Sweatshirt in black stripes is making me second-guess my moratorium on striped tops! (I have their Highneck Tank Top in black stripes and it is absolutely perfect.)

American Giant mid-weight pullover. Made in LA, responsibly sourced materials, and it is perfect. I never need another.

I don’t know if the ship to the US but this brand is VERY awesome:
Egyptian cotton, produced in Portugal, finished in Bordeaux. High social standards and the nicest sweaters around: https://www.frenchdisorder.com/fr/sweat-femme/6315-sweat-marlon-smile.html

Cute designs!

i just ordered a new sweatshirt yesterday! inspired by rashida jones in that new movie with bill murray. funnily, i’ve never let myself order a sweatshirt before but it felt fun to spend money on something that will make me comfy and happy!

Ghost Cloud sweatshirt from Lorien Stern: https://www.lorienstern.com/clothing/ghostcloudsweatshirt

I have my eye on the Garden hoodie too: https://www.lorienstern.com/clothing/gardenhoodie

please check out For Days! They are an affordable, eco-minded brand that EVERYONE should be supporting. they have an incredible climate-forward mission that focuses on saving resources by upcycling (and taking back your old clothing), using organic cotton, sustainable manufacturing practices, and a LOT more. (and their clothing is so nice and soft and cute and comfy.)

here’s the sweatshirt of theirs i love: https://www.fordays.com/womens-sustainable-terry-even-better-sweatshirt

Ooh! Alice! I recommend these super soft cotton terry sweatshirts online that have beautiful illustrations on the front! Not sure if they’re made in the US or UK for UK orders, but worldwide shipping and no piles of fleece to pill up after a few washes. I have a few since they’re not $$$ and come in several colors (have to click listings to see the color options), and it’s a small business run by an artist in Seattle!

For a lower cost option ($20), I bought one of these beautifully soft (indeed) sweatshirts from Target and went back the next day to buy 2 more. They are SO SOFT, wear like a sweater, and have a nice fit. Someday I’ll splurge on the Lou & Grey! https://www.target.com/p/women-s-beautifully-soft-fleece-lounge-sweatshirt-stars-above/-/A-81305860

About the Loft Lou and Grey option. I always thought sweatshirts are banded at the bottom. Otherwise, how is it different than a longsleeve t-shirt?
