Just as it happened with sneakers, sweatshirts made the jump from the category of sportswear to everyday clothing a long time ago, thanks to the rise of the athleisure trend, where sportswear can become casual and even formal. They are currently a wardrobe staple that gets you out of trouble on those days when you don’t know what to wear.
In addition, sweatshirts are the most versatile when mid-season arrives: with jeans, a skirt and even over a dress to tone it down. Now, the difference between a simple sweatshirt and one that attracts attention lies in small details. Not only in the fabric, color and cut, but also in whether they show off some special motif. One of the leading trends this season are sweatshirts with original messages, perfect for expressing yourself with your clothes as a medium. Below, we suggest five options that are superfluous for words.
At Bershka we find this proposal in dark gray with a hood. On the front reads the phrase “Somebody to love. You’re looking fresh”, decorated with some strawberries and some bows, both very trendy decorative motifs. On the back, the same larger illustration appears, with the phrase “Looking for someone to love.”
The Goated brand is characterized by being able to scan its garments and having them take you to a playlist or a song on Spotify. The “Music Speaks Hoodie” model says on the back the phrase “Music Speaks What Can’t Be Expressed”, while the drawing appears on the front to scan and direct you to the song or playlist that you choose. It is available in grey, pink or green. Price: 49 euros, with a supplement of 3 euros if you want to link your song or playlist.
Are you a person passionate about your work? Then this Scuffers design is for you. On the front you can read the text: “It’s called passion. Hey, I’m a fuckin’ workaholic with a passion in my heart”, accompanied by a smiling face, a drawing of a sun and the company logo. It is available in yellow or green. Price: 69 euros.
Here is a sweatshirt with a very positive message: “What’s Really Cool Is Being Grateful”, both on the chest and larger on the back. In sand color, it has a hood and front pocket. Price: 69 euros.
And in the line of positive designs, this white hoodless sweatshirt from Desigual shows off a large smiling emoticon with rhinestones, accompanied by the phrase “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”.
