There is nothing superior to a classic sweatshirt or a hoodie when it comes to fashion to beat the winter chills. Just like denim jeans and t-shirt, a sweatshirt or a hoodie makes up an essential part of any individual’s wardrobe, specifically the teenagers who want to keep it stylish yet cozy. Both sweatshirts and hoodies are trending these days and are a style statement with a range of patterns.
Sweatshirt and hoodies are sportswear garments to keep you warm in the cold weather. They have quite a similar look at a glance and often are made with similar fabrics; however, there is a difference between sweatshirt and hoodie. Very obvious is that a hoodie has its hood while a sweatshirt is without a hood. The sporty garment is worn by all ages and genders. Several brands, including UNIQLO, offer a diverse collection of both sweatshirts and hoodies with comfortable material, sizes, and various colours. Durable and versatile, a wide variety will let you feel the warmth in winter with a stride.
Sweatshirts:
A sweatshirt, in particular, is a pullover with long sleeves. It covers up your upper body and arms like a hooded sweater. This warm garment can create a sporty look as well as give an elegant look. There are few outfit combinations where a sweatshirt must certainly be preferred over a hoody. A sweatshirt can be worn alone or can be accompanied with a t-shirt or a shirt beneath. This pullover doesn’t have hooks, zippers, or buttons for attachment.
Usually, sweatshirts are made of fabrics such as cotton, wool, synthetic material, jersey, or a combination of this fabric. A sweatshirt began as a piece of garment in the sportswear segment and was usually paired along with sweatpants or track pants. Often athletes were seen sporting this garment as they can absorb sweat while offering a free body movement while exercising or playing. Besides sweat absorption and comfortability, sweatshirts are a better choice to fight the winter. However, today it is not only used by athletes but also by the public.
This super popular style is one of the best and versatile pieces of outfit anyone could have in their wardrobe.
In the men’s section, you can find a wide variety to make style statements. For example, a stylish wide fit sweatshirt with long sleeves by UNIQLO. Inspired by vintage athletic sweats, fleece-lined material looks great with casual outfits. Available in all sizes from small to XL with a range of colours such as purple, green, orange, black and many more, sweatshirt varieties really make you stand with style. Pair it with flannel checked long sleeve shirt and jogger trousers or cargos and set a style statement.
The sweatshirt has become a part of everyday and casual wear because it gives comfort and great looks.
There is a wide range of sweatshirt collection to adore feminine beauty as well. For example, the collection by UNIQLO featuring adorable fluffy animals on the sweatshirts is something that lets you mark your presence in style. Available in all sizes and colours namely pink, black, grey and many more, these long-sleeved furry friends are sure to get winter goals. Pair it with women high rise skinny ankle jeans or even with women ultra-stretch dry sweat pants, and you are simply ready to rock. This piece of clothing will not give you a cool sporty look but elegance as well.
Hoodies:

A hoodie is a variation of a sweatshirt with fewer additions, hence also referred to as a hooded sweatshirt. It has a hood, as mentioned earlier, with two cords or laces peeping out to tighten the hood. Like sweatshirts, hoodies are made using similar fabrics. Hoodies are comfortable, soft, and provide warmth along with cosiness. The hoodie can simply be a pullover similar to a sweatshirt, but it has buttons, hooks, or zippers to open it from the front. Another common design is the kangaroo pockets at the front of the hoodie, which is not found in sweatshirts. While both sweatshirts and hoodies are perfect for cold days with heavy fabrics, the hood offers extra protection to keep your ears and head warm.
If you love hoodies, UNIQLO is with your destination, a wide spectrum of these pieces both for men and women to choose from. The best one is for women dry soft sweat full-zip hoodie in colours white, blue, orange, and everyone’s favourite black. With a fluffy-soft feel, it looks classy, and they come with new dry technology, so it dries up easily after sweating or washing. You can team the hoodies with UNIQLO’s extra stretch denim leggings trousers to get that classy look.
Usually, both hoodies and sweatshirts are plain. A sweatshirt in colours such as dark blue, grey, or black can be worn for dinner invites. You can style it up even with a collared shirt. While hoodie is not suitable for occasions like this, and you simply cannot wear a collared shirt beneath a hoodie. Moreover, a hoodie doesn’t perfectly fit for formal occasions; it goes well for casual looks. Of course, it depends on the occasion as well as personal taste, to choose which fits better for which occasion.
All in all, there is a difference between sweatshirt and hoodie, and similarities too. Both are super versatile garments and absolute must-haves to enjoy winter with the warmth.
