The innovative V-neck or v-notch stitching helps strengthen the neckline, meaning it won’t falter or waver with time. Plus, the extra thick cotton in the triangle was originally designed to help mop up yet more volume of sweat. All good stuff.

2. Best Pastel Tone: Shaw Sturdy Fleece Sweat

There are a fine array of color options here, but we have to mention specifically the soft green. Its fresh tone with bursting positivity will look lovely in the warmer months of the year. The decadent plum color is great for when the weather turns cold, while the gray and black will make for seasonless pieces fantastic for year-round styling. 

Its chic feel comes from the design simplicity: the soft collar, cozy hems, and minimal stitching. Simplicity has been applied to the very soil the sweatshirt was grown from too. The organic cotton construction means that no pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers were used, equating to less water use, and a healthier, more biodiverse agricultural landscape. This sweatshirt is brimming with life.

Material: 100% organic cotton | Size Range: S-XL | Care: Machine Wash (40 degrees, do not tumble dry)

3. Best Chic Branding: Unrecorded Uniform Sweater 

 The “Unrecorded” branding on the chest plate is subtly making a statement. Its smart, efficient, and stylish font style is setting the melody for this sweatshirt. 

Its sharp branding means it could work as an alternative to the office shirt on days when you’re feeling in need of a sartorial hug. The charcoal shade balances this traditional crew neck sweatshirt, making it quite versatile stylistically too; allowing it to flit between casual and smart-casual with ease. It’s made from organic cotton in Portugal, a place known for its high standards of ethical production. What’s not to like?
