The piece

How to choose and wear a sweatshirt

A plain crew-neck sweatshirt. Casual, comfortable, and more versatile than a hoodie: it goes under a coat or over a shirt.

How to choose

  • Heavy loopback cotton that holds its shape.
  • Ribbed cuffs and hem that recover after stretching.
  • Grey marl, navy, cream and olive.

Common mistakes

  • Big slogans when you want to look put-together.
  • Under a suit jacket.
  • Faded, bobbled cotton.

Care: Wash cold inside out, hang dry.

In a capsule: Belongs in a casual capsule; smarter than a hoodie, so easier to mix.

Fabric
The same grey in a different weight: cotton or linen for summer, wool, flannel or heavier cotton for winter.

Avoid

What not to wear with grey sweatshirt

Skip the khaki trench coat. A trench coat is dressier than a sweatshirt, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: grey and khaki are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
