Lululemon Perfectly Oversized Crew

Lululemon Perfectly Oversized Crew

The Lululemon Perfectly Oversized Crew is a fantastic basic option that is made of cotton terry, so it is a nice layer but not super warm. If you are a fan of Lululemon, you may be a bit surprised with the oversized fit of this top, but that is what helps to make it comfy. If you like form-fitting, this isn’t the sweater for you, or consider sizing down.

It also bucks the crop style trend that has been more prevalent in the last few years. The material, like a lot of Lululemon styles, is breathable and soft but is also able to keep you relatively warm. This is an excellent piece to use as a layer that still gives you room to move around. Overall the Perfectly Oversized Crew is very high quality and is long enough to wear with leggings, but not so long that you can’t also wear it with jeans.

Everlane The ReNew Sweatshirt

Everlane The ReNew Sweatshirt

The ReNew from Everlane is a shorter-length design that you may want to consider if you aren’t a fan of the longer, baggy look. It is made from 57% cotton and 43% recycled polyester, which is somehow soft and cozy on the inside and smooth on the outside. The smooth outer of the top elevates this design and gives it a slightly less casual look than most sweatshirts so you can dress it up or wear it to work.

To go with the somewhat cropped design, the arms are oversized trapezoid sleeves, so they have a reasonably modern look. The ReNew pullover only comes in a few colors at this point, but the sage and the brass are unique and fashionable. This is a great choice to wear with high-waisted jeans as it is easy to tuck in without being bulky. The ReNew from Everlane makes a great wardrobe staple that you will love to wear.

What to look for:

It isn’t hard to find a cozy women’s sweatshirt, but here are a few things to keep in mind when you are shopping.

Size – If you don’t get the right size for your body type, you are going to find any garment you get to be uncomfortable. If you like a looser fit, size up on the more fitted designs, but if you prefer your clothes to fit closer to the body, you may want to consider sizing down. If you are buying the style for layering, you may want to get a bigger size, so you have room for layers underneath, but if you are wearing it under a jacket, extra bulk may also be a consideration.

Fit– Since the fits of sweatshirts can range from slim form-fitted to baggy and oversized, it is well worth checking how the fit is described in any manufacturer’s description that is available. As far as comfort goes, some women feel most comfy in a shirt that is designed to fit large, while others feel best in a style that hugs the body. If you love an oversized fit, you may also want to check out men’s styles as they have more options that are bigger, and in some cases, they are less expensive.

Colors– You can get sweatshirts in pretty much any color you desire. Some of the least expensive brands have the most color options. If you are looking for subtle modern colors, try the ALO Yoga Soho or the Universal Thread design from Target.

Price– There are a lot of inexpensive brands selling decent quality options, check Hanes, or the Amazon basic style listed above for some excellent budget options. If you are looking for a branded sweatshirt, the Adidas and the Champion charge a little more for the logo pieces, but most of the branded items are decent quality fleece that is super comfy.
