The 27 Best Sweatshirts For Women

I'll say it: Few things are better than sweatshirt weather. But, not just any sweatshirt will do the job. When shopping for the best sweatshirts for women, you'll want to keep your style in mind and decide whether you're looking for a lightweight, mid-weight, or heavier design.

With so many clothing options on the internet, it isn't always easy to pick out the most comfortable sweatshirts from the rest. That said, there are a few key things to look for when shopping. First and foremost, you'll want something that's soft and comfortable. Look for a sweatshirt that's made of 100% cotton or a cotton blend, or one that is made with spandex for added stretch. Rayon and cotton are great options if you tend to overheat, whereas polyester tends to offer less airflow. But, if you're looking for a warm sweatshirt, you may want to invest in a "mid-weight" sweatshirt — bonus points if it has a fleece layer that can help to lock in heat or a sherpa design that's soft and warm.

Other than that, it all comes down to how you plan to wear it. If you need an extra layer when you're headed to the gym, you'll want to look for athletic sweatshirts made from performance materials to keep you warm and dry. If you just want to rock a cute cropped sweatshirt with your high-waisted jeans, a regular cotton blend in fun colors can do the job.

Not sure which sweatshirt (or sweatshirts) to go with? I've got you covered. Here are some of the best sweatshirts for you to choose from.
