Can Sweaty Betty sweatshirts be worn for working out or just as cover-ups?
Both. The half-zip and lightweight jersey styles are designed for warm-ups, cool-downs and lower-intensity activity — they move well and stay fresh. The heavier fleece styles are more suited to post-workout and casual wear. The fabric handle and construction across all styles is better suited to active use than standard cotton sweatshirts.
Do Sweaty Betty sweatshirts come in the same colours as the leggings?
Yes — Sweaty Betty designs sweatshirts and hoodies within the same seasonal colour palette as their leggings and sets, so coordinating pieces across the range is straightforward. For exact matching sets, the co-ordinated legging and sports bra combinations are also available.
How should I care for Sweaty Betty sweatshirts?
Machine wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Avoid fabric softener and high-heat tumble drying — these degrade the stretch and moisture-wicking properties over time. Air dry or low tumble dry. Technical jersey and fleece styles both respond well to gentle washing and maintain their shape longest when dried flat.
Hoodie or sweatshirt — which to pick?
A side-stripe hoodie is the year-round wear-anywhere pick — soft cotton blend, hood, side-stripe detail, suits gym-to-coffee styling. A longline sweatshirt is the more casual layer — longline cut, dropped shoulder, suits lounge and post-workout. Pick a hoodie for active, a sweatshirt for relaxed.
Is a fleece zip-up a base or outer layer?
A fleece zip-up sits between base and outer — heavier brushed fleece, full zip, suits cooler outdoor and indoor wear. Wear over a tank or as the outer in mild weather. Neutral colourways work year-round.
Do Sweaty Betty sweatshirts and hoodies run true to size?
Yes — UK 8–18 / XS–XL true to size. Most run regular-fit, with some cropped styles for layering. Helen on 01744 730985 will measure body length and chest from physical stock if you'd like exact dimensions.
