Sweat tops can be broadly classified into three types: so-called ” sweatshirts ” with crew necks, ” sweatshirt hoodies ” with hoods, and ” zip-up hoodies ” with zippers on the front. It is best to choose a sweatshirt after understanding the characteristics shown below.

The most important thing to keep in mind when wearing sweatshirts is that you need to show that you are “going out, not loungewear.
