Best sweatshirts for men: here are the best buys on the market
THE PERFECT pair of sweatshirt unlocks a different realm of comfort and coolness, because you can wear it pretty much anywhere.
It’s the sweater that marries leisurewear with sportswear and street-style. Typically made from cotton, finding your fave one is like meeting your new best friend.
Athleisure has taken over the fashion world, so sweatshirts are no longer reserved for pyjama days and the gym.
Nowadays, the hottest looks are still comfy – hurrah.
Whether worn over a shirt for those confusing smart/casual dress codes or teamed with matching trackies for a duvet day, a sweatshirt should be everyone’s go-to piece of clothing.
Self-proclaimed fashion mogul Kanye West dons them religiously and Odd Future rapper Earl Sweatshirt even dedicated his stage name to the humble item of clothing.
There’s never a shortage of styles available, so to help you decide (and because everyone loves them so much) we’ve compiled a list of the best sweatshirts for men out now.
How do you style a men’s sweatshirt?
A sweatshirt is a versatile piece we should all have in our drawers, and they’re not just to keep us warm in the winter.
Layer with a trendy bomber and trainers for a varsity vibe, or go smart-casual with jeans, a jacket and Chelsea boots.
Better yet? you can rock them with trackies and sliders to keep warm if you’re heading to the shops.
