A sweatshirt is the hoodie’s dressier sibling — the same comfort with a cleaner neckline that looks more polished. Here are 10 worth buying.
My top pick: An oversized crewneck sweatshirt in heavyweight cotton-blend fleece, with ribbed cuffs and hem, in a neutral colour, is the one to own — crewneck reads cleaner than a hoodie, oversized is the current silhouette, and heavyweight means it won’t pill after five washes.
