Why a Sweatshirt is Your Most Versatile Spring Essential

Paulina Kulczycki

Ah, spring. That beautiful, yet tricky time of year when the weather can’t quite make up its mind. Mornings are crisp, afternoons in the sun can feel almost summery, and then by the evening, you’re regretting not bringing a jacket. Add in the occasional surprise shower or chilly breeze, and dressing appropriately becomes a daily puzzle. Enter: the sweatshirt – your ultimate transitional weather essential. Not only is it super comfortable for everyday wear, it's also incredibly versatile – striking the perfect balance between functionality and style. We reveal why a sweatshirt is the ultimate spring essential and the one wardrobe staple that’s got your back (literally) on any unpredictable day during transitional seasons.

As the thick winter coats get banished to the back of the wardrobe and the first glimpses of blue skies lure us outside, we’re reminded that spring is as deceptive as it is delightful. Sure, the sun might be shining, but step into the shade, and suddenly it feels like winter is not quite over yet. Due to the fluctuating temperatures, functional dressing with excellent breathability and thermal insulation are key – because let’s be honest, no one wants to spend the first days of spring sweating through meetings or shivering on a café terrace. We at SANVT believe that a sweatshirt is the most versatile essential in spring. Read on to find out why – plus three effortlessly stylish ways to wear one.

The Perfect Sweatshirt by SANVT

Now, when we say ‘sweatshirt,’ we’re not talking about just any old jumper you dug out from the bottom of your drawer. We mean the perfect sweatshirt – one that combines luxurious comfort with timeless style. Our perfect sweatshirt is handcrafted from combed cotton, delivering an ultra-soft finish that might just make it the best sweatshirt in the world (bold claim, we know – but try it, and you’ll see what we mean). The secret? The combing process smooths out the fibres and removes impurities, creating an exceptionally fine yarn that feels incredible against the skin. But it’s not just about comfort. 

Thanks to its heavyweight 400 g/m² loopback French Terry fabric, our sweatshirt is also durable and built to last. If you’re wondering what ‘loopback’ means, it describes a French Terry with tiny loops on the inside of the fabric that help regulate temperature by wicking away sweat while trapping warmth when you need it.This means you stay cool when it’s warm and warm when it’s cool – exactly what you need in this unpredictable season of spring.
