How to choose a sweatshirt (sweatshirt)
In order not to get confused in the variety of sweatshirts, we offer several rules for the right choice:
- The size. The sweatshirt should sit freely, but not hang out on the body, we recommend choosing a sweater exactly in size, but not less. An exception is the so-called oversize size (+1), which will help to hide some figure flaws. However, this style should be played up with other items of clothing - trousers or jeans, accessories.
- Style. For sports activities and active walks, a hoodie hoodie with a hood, pockets (preferably with a zipper) is suitable; for an office or a student audience, a sweatshirt in a dress code of an acceptable color range will be optimal. The jacket can be with a clasp, a small zipper at the gate, lacing, or it can simply be put on over your head.
- Material. A sweatshirt generally implies some weatherization, which allows, for example, to abandon the undershirt in the form of a T-shirt. Fleece products are the softest, on the inside they have a small nap, the size of which is determined by the density of the fleece, there are also thin jackets. The footer is similar to fleece, but denser, the warmest are the sweatshirts and velsoft products.
- Colors. The jacket can be of any color, to impart individuality, you can order a unique pattern, which is applied with acrylic paints. Brand sweatshirts usually have a recognizable logo.
Next, we offer to meet with manufacturers, which hoodies are the most popular.
