Embroidered Crewneck Sweatshirts - Gen Z's favorite merch - how these came back into fashion

When did these crewnecks things become so popular?

You could argue that crewnecks never went out of style - after all, they're one of the most versatile garments you could have in your closet! But in recent years, Gen Z has caused a major surge in popularity of the crewneck sweatshirt style, especially ones sporting an embroidered logo.

What makes crewnecks so favored over to hoodies or zip-ups? Well, for one crewnecks do not have any hard metals or bulky materials which allows for maximum coziness. Plus, crewnecks are well suited for a light summer pullover or a warm layer under a winter jacket. Hoodies and zip-ups are great, but because of the crewneck's classic look and versatility, they've taken the top spot on the tier list.

How big should your sweatshirts be?

One thing about Gen-Z fashion is that the oversize trend is in and here to stay. The bigger, the better - especially with sweatshirts. Oversized sweatshirts are the best way to achieve that slouchy, laid back style that feels like pajamas but can still look put-together when styled right. If you're on board with this trendy and extra cozy OOTD, give yourself a size up or two from your normal sweatshirt size.

If oversized clothing is not your thing, that's ok! A fitted look never goes out of style, and should fit snugly around your hips. Hoodies look best when they are tight enough to hold their shape but doesn't droop.
