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.

noshiforever · 02/10/2021 11:25

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.

noshiforever · 05/10/2021 06:36

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!

H&M and second Primark

MaverickDanger · 05/10/2021 06:43

There are some basically brand new ones on Vinted

Miseryisabutterfly · 05/10/2021 11:38

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

nancy75 · 05/10/2021 11:45

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

NotImpossible · 05/10/2021 14:08

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.

KnobJockey · 05/10/2021 14:12

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.

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

Starryskiesinthesky · 05/10/2021 21:02

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
www.hush-uk.com/int/lindsey-relaxed-sweatshirt-mink-grey/001814-1293.html and the m&S one is this www.marksandspencer.com/pure-cotton-tie-dye-crew-neck-sweatshirt/p/clp60510032?color=BLACKMIX#intid=prodColourId-60504948

TomAllenWife · 05/10/2021 21:12

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

LaurieFairyCake · 05/10/2021 21:15

Baukjen - organic cotton. Lovely

wombforanotherone · 05/10/2021 22:01

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!

wombforanotherone · 05/10/2021 22:01

COS yes also have lasted a long time.

MistySkiesAfterRain · 06/10/2021 04:05

Fat Face is good quality, I had one that looked new after ages.

TuftyRusty · 06/10/2021 06:16

Sunspel or Colourful Standard.

Bagelsandbrie · 06/10/2021 06:38

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 .

SuperStarRose · 06/10/2021 14:18

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

SuperStarRose · 06/10/2021 14:19

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