Sweatshirt brand recommendations

Hi all, I need some new sweatshirts to wear for working at home part time (on camera all day though!) / mum life. I don’t want hoodies, I would prefer a slightly smarter sweatshirt that I can wear with black jeans so I am comfortable but don’t feel like I spend all day in pjs. What brands can people recommend please? I’m fairly tall (5ft 8), size 8-10. Thanks!

I've been looking at sweatshirts recently. First of all I found if you google sweatshirts a multitude of different results come up; hoodies, fleeces, zip ups, ordinary jumpers etc. I couldn't find a way to (easily)filter out the ones that weren't sweatshirt sweatshirts iyswim.

Quite a lot had work or school uniform vibe and there was a limited range of colours and shades of colours.

I like a traditional sweatshirt with round collar and ribbed cuffs and to be lose fitting, that then makes them not too warm but are comfortable.

I just recently got a FatFace one from M&S:-

It says black but it looks more washed out black to me but it fits the bill.

Previously I got a nice one from Whistles with Bon written on it, fairly small white lettering. Although usually I prefer not to have logos or "zany" words written on my sweatshirt. Sorry I have no link to it.

Also Eleven Loves which I think was recommended from Mumsnet. But they are a bit logo heavy.

I don't know why that's underlined or how to change it!

Sweaty Betty after class sweatshirt . Comfortable and a bit more stylish than your average sweatshirt.

Recently ordered from www.yesfriends.co.uk

Lovely quality, and ethically made.

I'm also looking for a sweatshirt, I don't know why it's so hard! I like round neck/crew neck, but I find a lot of them are really baggy around the neck.
