Women’s designer sweatshirts and hoodies are a key item of the 21st Century. Their sportswear origin as clothing for athletes to warm up and dress in uniform dates back to less than one hundred years ago. By the second half of the 20th century, the sweatshirt was the quintessential piece of athletes’ wear. The popularisation of sports’s culture and the comfort of these pieces made their sweatshirts an essential piece of 80s fashion style.
With the expansion of new urban identities, sweatshirts became a part of the sporty aesthetic reimagined for daily wear. It became a norm to use sports’ clothes as an extension of sportpeoples’ personalities and identities, sort of like a non-verbal language or code. With time, the decontextualization of sportsclothes continued to advance to become the essential item that it is today.
Practically, all great fashion labels have participated in the exploration of this modern classic, making it impossible to highlight a specific brand to go to. Way back when, sports’ companies were still leading the production of designer brand sweatshirts for women, but as the tides changed and fashion took their focus away from strictly formal clothing, sweatshirts became indispensable thanks to their comfort and versatility. Designer fashion had mainly focused on traditionally elegant or more formal clothes, but once the value of pieces like women’s sweatshirt brands became apparent, the market quickly grew to supply the demand for high quality comfortable clothing.
