Plus size sweatshirts and jumpers for men and women
Plus-size sweatshirts for women and men include hoodies, zip-up sweatshirts, crew neck sweatshirts, oversized styles, sherpa fleece, and knitted jumpers.
Urban Classics for women and men, Jack & Jones for men; the plus-size hoodie can be worn with joggers or straight-leg jeans.
The plus-size sweatshirt is the easiest top to wear: loose without being shapeless, it's easy to wash and layers well under a jacket. The knitted jumper is a bit smarter.
Hooded sweatshirts and zip-up sweatshirts in plus sizes
The hooded sweatshirt can be worn alone or under a jacket; the zip-up sweatshirt, when open, can be worn like a lightweight jacket over a t-shirt. Jack & Jones offers both for men.
Oversized sweatshirts and sherpa fleece in plus sizes
The oversized cut falls lower on the hips and covers the bum: it can be worn with leggings or slim trousers. The sherpa fleece, warm and soft, replaces a jumper at home or when out and about.
Plus-size knitted jumpers
The knitted jumper can be worn over a shirt at the office or on its own at the weekend. A fine knit doesn't bulk out your silhouette; a chunky knit pairs well with fitted bottoms.
What sweatshirt size to choose
For a classic sweatshirt, the shoulder seam should sit on the shoulder and the sleeves should end at the wrist. For a looser fit, an oversized cut is better than going up a size, which mostly lengthens the sleeves. Pairing it with plus-size trousers with an elastic waistband keeps your outfit comfortable all day.
Black, grey or green plus-size sweatshirts
The black plus-size sweatshirt and grey go with everything; green, blue, and beige add variety to the basics. A white sweatshirt brightens up dark jeans.
Cheap plus-size sweatshirts and jumpers
Special offers and the Black Friday at the end of November lower the prices of cheap sweatshirts, and discount sales gather end-of-line stock. Other plus-size clothing complete the outfit. Fast delivery and best price guaranteed.
Frequently asked questions about plus-size sweatshirts
Oversized sweatshirt or a size up?
An oversized cut is designed to fit loosely, both at the shoulders and sleeves. A size up mainly lengthens the sleeves: the oversized cut fits better.
How to prevent a sweatshirt from pilling?
Wash it inside out, with similar fabrics, and air dry. A lint shaver can take care of the first pills.
Can you wear a sweatshirt to the office?
A plain crew neck sweatshirt over a shirt, with chinos: yes, in a casual office. The crew neck sweatshirt is more appropriate than a hooded sweatshirt.
Fleece or sweatshirt for winter?
The fleece is warmer for its weight and dries quickly; the cotton sweatshirt is softer. The fleece is better outdoors.
How to wash a knitted jumper?
By hand or on a wool cycle, in cold water, then lay flat to dry so it doesn't lose its shape. Never use a tumble dryer for knits.
