Talking to HT Lifestyle, Manoj Jain, Director, Harbour 9, shared top sweatshirt styles that can transform your appearance and must add to your winter collection.
1. Crewneck sweatshirt
Crewneck sweatshirts are one of the simplest sweatshirt styles that are great for the light winter season with mild temperatures. Many prefer affordable apparel as loose-fitting for a regular casual look. Collarless and commonly found in long sleeves, crewneck sweatshirts are also available in sleeveless and short-sleeved designs.
2. Hoodies
The timeless design of sweatshirts has a hood at the neck with drawstrings. The right choice to combat chilly nights, the drawstrings help adjust the hood aptly. Made of polyester or cotton, hoodies are usually thicker to keep you warm during low temperatures.
3. Pullover
Pullovers are similar to hoodies but they lack chains or buttons. They can be worn over a t-shirt for a casual simple look. It keeps your body warm in winter.
4. Athletic
If you follow an active lifestyle and cannot let winter keep you at bay from practising outdoor aerobic exercises, an athletic sweatshirt is a perfect choice. Lightweight and made usually from polyester, an athletic zipper/hoodie with reflective colours not only helps you stand out but also makes a great piece to be worn at the night too. Most athletic wears are often waterproof and have a quick-drying feature for a proper functional session without feeling drenched.
5. Zippered
Zipper hoodies come in several styles including full-length or partial zippers which flow from neck to waist. Easy to remove, full-length zippers are preferred over a tee to keep the body temperature optimal when outdoors. Offering various colours and hooded and non-hooded options, zipper sweatshirts are preferred winterwear.
6. Fleece
Sweatshirts made from fleece, a thick material, provide more warmth in the winter. Fleece sweatshirt design is entirely different from that of a regular sweatshirt.
7. Mock neck
Mock necks are modernised versions of turtle necks. The turtle-neck design is common on t-shirts but not on sweatshirts. A mock neck design replaces the turtle neck on sweatshirts, and there is usually a tiny zip on mock neck sweatshirts.
