Our women’s sweatshirt collection
Sweatshirts are a wardrobe staple for good reason. They’re practical and stylish and can be worn with just about any outfit to suit the occasion, whether layered with a jacket or worn with jeans and a T-shirt. The R.M.Williams women’s sweatshirt range is crafted from soft, breathable materials that help you to stay comfortable and warm no matter the season.
Layering for cooler seasons - During the transitional seasons, layering is a wardrobe essential for staying warm and prepared for changing weather conditions. Fleece and cotton sweaters can be stylishly layered with a range of pieces, including women’s shirts for a smart look, or a heavy coat, jacket or vest when the weather takes a turn.
Fleece and cotton are lightweight, breathable materials that can keep you warm and dry in light rain conditions, without overheating. This means that sweaters are suitable both as the outermost layer of your outfit and worn under a denim or leather jacket.
Women’s sweatshirts FAQs
- Cotton is one of the most comfortable materials for women’s sweatshirts for a number of reasons. Firstly, cotton can be worked into a variety of soft fabrics to use in sweatshirts, including warm and cosy materials like fleece and cotton jersey, both of which are soft on the skin, even after all-day wear. Cotton is also breathable, which helps you to stay dry and comfortable throughout the day. Cotton fabrics are also easy to clean, durable and generally hold their shape well. This means that care and maintenance for your sweatshirt is usually as easy as putting it in the washing machine.
- Whenever your sweatshirt gets a stain, it’s important to treat it as soon as possible. Firstly, blot any excess spillage or stain residue with a clean cloth. Apply a small amount of liquid laundry detergent or a stain remover directly to the stain and gently rub it in with your fingers or a soft cloth. Let this sit for 10-15 minutes and rinse the area with cold water, before washing the sweatshirt in the washing machine with cold water and a mild detergent.
- Women's sweatshirts can be stylishly paired with jackets for a layered, versatile look. For a casual outfit, wear a sweatshirt under a denim jacket, pairing the ensemble with slim fit women’s jeans and a pair of leather sneakers. For a street-style outfit, you can layer a sweatshirt under a leather jacket, with slim jeans and women’s leather boots to complete the outfit. For a polished look, you can also wear a sweatshirt with a tailored blazer, perfect for a smart-casual setting.
- First and foremost, a women’s sweatshirt should fit like most women’s knitwear, comfortably without being too tight or too loose around the shoulders. Ideally, the seams should be in line with your shoulders and the sleeves should reach toward the ends of your wrists. The length of your sweatshirt can vary according to your own style, with shorter-length sweatshirts that end at the hips providing a tailored, polished look. Longer sweatshirts are suitable for a more casual, relaxed look, but should not be too relaxed as to lose their shape and style.
