As much as I love a good sweater, there's nothing like the feeling of slipping on a sweatshirt. Even in the middle of summer, I crave it. The soft fleece material and slouchy fit can't really be compared to any other clothing item, which explains its enduring popularity. And I have a hunch that since comfort is everything this year, they're going to be even more popular than ever come fall, which I'm already seeing some proof of.
If you're like me, you've been diligently checking the new arrivals sections of a variety of e-tailers, and have likely noticed a plethora of new sweatshirts. But I found something a bit different while scrolling through H&M and Zara, in particular: Fancy sweatshirts are the style that's going to be everywhere this fall and winter. If you think about it, fancy sweatshirts are the perfect clothing item for fall 2020, as we all want to feel cute without sacrificing comfort, whether staying in or going out for socially distant activities.
Without further ado, shop my favorite fancy sweatshirts from Zara, H&M, and a few other in-the-know brands.
