Best value sweatshirts? I want a few!

Just want to be cosy and comfy. Don't we all?!

Where in the UK can I get good women's sweatshirts that wash well and stay nice?

Hush have some lovely sweatshirts.

I have a sweatshirt I bought in newlook 3 years ago that I have worn to death and still looks new 🤣

I have a couple from M&S too that seem to wash well.

I've had 2 from Hush which washed terribly and looked like rags after a few wears. Maybe bad luck.

I'll look at new look, thanks!

I buy Uniqlo men’s sweatshirts in small or extra small. Good quality and half the price of Hush.

I’m glad I didn’t buy one from hush 😬, I have a few other bits from hush, tbh their joggers are not that great for the price. I’m surprised how well the newlook ones wash as they cost a fraction of the price of the hush ones 🤣.

I can't believe I'm saying this but Primark have really great plain hoodies for £7. They are so nice! And I never buy anything from there

I’m a huge sweatshirt fan and find the ones that wash the best are from Primark. My Hush ones and M&S ones have bobbled.

Right, going to get myself to Prinark! Hadn't thought to look there but actually that's a good idea especially as i want a few for home only so the cheaper the better!

Cos and Arket do really nice quality sweatshirts that wash well. They feel much more luxurious than Zara etc (which I also have).

Primark and Monki (DD has a few from there that have washed really well and are very soft)

I bought a hoodie from Weekday (via Depop) recently and it's amazingly snuggly. I've only washed it once so far but it feels like decent quality.

Tu at Sainsbury's, I've got a couple that have stayed lovely.

If you can cope with the branding (I struggle) then superdry ones are very comfy.

Ive had mine from the sale in New Look for at least four years and they was beautifully compared to Hush.

Don't be tempted by Zara, the ones I have are all bobbled.

I just bought one from M&S which was only £20 and I love. I also have a hush one I love too! The hush one was like this but paler

New look, I bought 2 lovely big soft hoodies and I love them

I don't rate H&M, everything looks bobbly after one wash

H&M bobble like a bitch!

Hush fit so nicely, I love the oversized look but they kind of fade in the wash. It's kind of the look though so it's ok but I'll probably not get more.

M&S have been good so far. Wish I lived near a primark!

Definitely Primark. I’m a size 14/16 and buy the XL size (20 ish I think) so they’re cosy and oversized and they wash so well and last ages .

My Gap and Superdry ones have lasted for years and still look like new and very comfy and washable.

As have my Nike and Adidas ones that DD now wears as they're too small for me. Again they still look like new.
