Sweaty Betty - After Class Sport Sweatshirt

8 replies

BloggersNetwork · 23/07/2020 07:37

I have been after an off-shoulder sweatshirt that is not cropped or too boxy, and I have just noticed this beauty in Sweaty Betty. Not the colour I had in mind but a change from black/charcoal might be nice.

My worry is the low cut at the back. I am only 5.1" so I suspect it might just be too low on me. The price is a little silly too although I do rate SB's quality.

Anyway my question, has anyone seen off-shoulder sweatshirts that are not too short on the body or too boxy? Otherwise I might just treat myself to this one and see...

That sweatshirt is not just off the shoulder, its' got a huge hole in the back of it. I think you have to really love that particular design feature, especially at that price (FYI 20% off codes are available on Insta if you search)

I love SB but for me it's a no. You'd need to wear the right kind of bra or top under for a start, you can't just chuck it on and def not a normal bra. I think it's designed for wearing with a sports bra, and for wearing with other activewear, as opposed to e.g. jeans on a normal day. Also, from remembering a dress I had with a low cut back, I could feel the air on my skin, and it just felt odd.

It looks like you put your top on back to front

I also mean to add, from your post:

Your requirement - off the shoulder sweatshirt

Negatives which you posted yourself - wrong colour, hole in the back, possible height issue, expensive

Also, this is not an off the shoulder sweatshirt. But sometimes you just have to scratch an itch, so if you want to try it, go for it!

fizz are you my husband???? Grrrrrr. AngryAngryAngry You're annoying but you're so right. This sweatshirt doesn't fit my requirements. I hate being short.Sad

Sorry!! I can't see any off the shoulder sweats right now, but if SB prices are within your reach, keep an eye on MyGymWardrobe and The Sports Edit. Lots of niche activewear brands in one place, with minimal logos and styles that easily cross over into everyday wear. Also Varley, but again, can't see anything at the moment.

Googling, ASOS might have something. Hope the recommendations help to offset my negativity somewhat!

I'm short too and have been eyeing up Forgotten Tribes clothing - some of their stuff seems an ok length. But I've not cracked and bought anything yet, so can't vouch for quality.

The point: I saw this off-the-shoulder top on their website recently and I think it looks promising. However I appreciate you might be wanting a sweatshirt rather than a knit.

I love that website Dora! Have you ever bought anything from them?
