Where to find good quality sweatshirts?

Laura J

Hi everyone! If anyone has suggestions on where to look I would appreciate it. I'm high risk, so I haven't been in a store since March. My niece wants a cozy sweatshirt (preferably pastel) for xmas. I checked the Gap, Madewell, Athlete, Nordstrom... Madewell had a great option but it won't ship until March. Any suggestions of where to look is appreciated! She just wants something cozy for the months of school at home. Thanks in advance!

Take at look at H & M and Uniqlo for sweatshirts. Also, you may want to look at Aerie for some options that may be appropriate for your niece. Good luck!

Seconding Uniqlo! My son has a couple hoodies from H&M that he loves, but when we tried to duplicate in a different color recently, we got very different fabric. Maybe you’re better at online shopping than me; but knowing how many items H&M carries, I think I’d rather see them in person. Uniqlo’s quality level is much more consistent.

Another vote for Uniqlo! Gap had some "Vintage Soft" sweatshirts recently that are unisex, but found in the men's dept, thick and soft brushed fleece inside. Might work, depending on what size your niece wears?

I personally like Gap and Old Navy for sweatshirts. I like my tops to be a bit long, and I NEED longer sleeves, so the tall sizes from both are wonderful. I find the quality to be better at Gap than Old Navy, but I buy mine for work at a job that eats clothes so the price is VERY right for me

Lou & Grey at Loft.
Vuori at Nordstrom or direct. (Pricier, but they are so soft, and wear like iron)
Boden for cute prints and also great quality.

What about the sporty brands like Adidas or Nike or New Balance? Champion seems to be the flavour here among the teenagers.

I just bought a sweatshirt for my father from Dearborn Denim, on the recommendation of my husband, who works in an unheated environment (basically a barn) and said his is the warmest sweatshirt he's ever owned. Small independent company so 1 style 4 colors, pretty utilitarian, but it's cute on the model:

Thanks for all of the suggestions! All of the sites you mentioned seem to have good sweatshirts, but finding a pastel one was hard. I ended up getting her two sweatshirts from the Gap. One is a Sherpa that I'll probably end up returning, the other is a vintage soft men's sweatshirt.

Have you tried Lands End, LL Bean and Eddie Bauer? They are often on sale, especially Lands End.
As a college student, I got some I liked on a very small budget in the men’s dept. of a department store. But then in those days there was not much available for females. We were not supposed to wear such things. I slso shopped the me s dept. for jeans and even belts. At that time females could only wear skirts or dresses. Not that long ago. Tees were considered men’s underwear.
