Sweat jacket - A garment for the perfect transition

Who does not know it? It's too warm for a thick sweater and too cold to walk around in just a t-shirt . Especially in late spring and early autumn you are often confronted with this dilemma. The solution is a thin sweat jacket with a hood , or the somewhat new alternative, the sweat jacket without a hood. The big advantage of wearing a sweat jacket is that you can open it up as you like to adapt to the temperature of your surroundings.

Sweat jacket - The multifunctional tool

A sweat jacket is a knitted jacket that can be opened and closed using a zipper or buttons. The sweat jacket was created as an alternative to the well-known hoodie. In contrast to the hoodie, the sweat jacket has the advantage that you can wear it open. Thus, it can better adapt to its environment and temperature.

Few would rather wear a sweat jacket than a hoodie so as not to ruin their styled hair. In addition, the thickness of the sweat jacket corresponds more to that of a t-shirt than that of a hoodie. Unfortunately, using a zipper also comes with a downside. The fibers of the lining thread are often not as durable as in comparable garments. This causes the inside of the sweat jacket to harden and the fibers to break, which is also known as pilling.

The sweat jacket and the seasons

The sweat jacket is the convertible in the sweat fashion area. Anyone who loves maximum flexibility can wear airy outfits in summer and simply zip the same piece up for more warmth and cosiness when it gets colder. So with a second hand sweat jacket you have a hoodie and a very light jacket in one.

The sweat jacket in spring

We particularly appreciate this functionality of the second-hand sweat jacket in the transitional periods between summer and winter. When you go to the park on a gray day, you'll be happy about the warm hood and you can zip it up to the top. However, if you are out for a longer period and the warm sun is peeping through the clouds, the flexibility of hooded jackets is in great demand.

The sweat jacket in summer

In the warm days of the year, the sweat jacket can be worn relaxed over a T-shirt. You only need the hood when it's a bit windy on the beach and the warmer it gets, the more you simply open the zipper. This opens up great combination options with T-shirts in bright colors or with eye-catching prints. A rather simple sweatshirt jacket goes well with it. If it gets colder, the zipper can simply be closed accordingly.

The sweat jacket in winter

When the cold season begins, the sweat jacket from summer does not have to disappear in the closet, but fulfills its task as a cozy hoodie. Hooded sweatshirt jackets in particular will keep you nice and warm and rock a casual, sporty look. When you get into the warm subway, you simply zip open the jacket - so you're properly dressed in every situation.
