A quick look at social media and it’s clear: People no longer fear the hoodie. A true sign of the sweatshirt shift, Mark Zuckerberg now negotiates billion-dollar deals while donning a low-key hoodie. But it’s not just celebrities who have embraced the cultural coolness of the new and improved sweatshirt status. ABC News reports that people are more than willing to spend big money on the attire in an effort to chase the trend. And it’s here for a while, at least according to fashion expert Lori Bergamotto, who also explained to ABC News that “Right now in fashion we are seeing this move toward boxier silhouettes, things that are oversized…”

All of the sweatshirts are under $35, with the exception of one mini-splurge that tops out just shy of $60 (spoiler alert: it involves Billie Eilish). And lastly, we didn’t limit the search to only the products with the most reviews. Therefore, a few inclusions are particularly exciting because they’re newly minted and cute enough to make you a bona fide trendsetter.
This ’90s sweatshirt is an easy way to rock a retro look
The clean lines of this design — both in the tailoring and the font choice — allow the sweatshirt to be a statement piece, but the drop shoulder keeps it casual. A newer offering from SheIn, this sweatshirt is just starting to catch fire. Reviewers reference how “cute” and “comfortable” it is and suggest reviewing the size chart before ordering.
Everyone should have at least one Billie Eilish sweatshirt
Eilish often rocks oversized cartoon-inspired fashion on Instagram; one post, in particular, has nearly 9 million likes. But whether or not your posts get big clicks doesn’t really matter too much, and you know who’d be the first person to remind you? Eilish herself, of course. So, do what makes you happy.
This sweatshirt could be the next big thing
But keep in mind that it’s designed for men’s sizing, so order accordingly.
If vintage vibes are your thing, then this sweatshirt is everything
Truth be told, there are days you want all the Vogue retro-glam trends, but most days? Yeah, you just want to live in this cozy sweatshirt. Plus, it comes in four colors and includes sizes up to XXL. So what’s not to love here? The black weave will hide any coffee stains, and quite frankly, the fonts alone are reason enough.
This sweatshirt says ’let your flamingo flag fly'
Here’s the thing about flamingos: They don’t care if your love for this print is literal or ironic. Flamingoes don’t judge; they’re too busy balancing on one foot to worry about your fashion intentions. However, if you happen to be in the market for luxe-leaning inspiration, look no further than the 2018 Met Gala and all its flamingo glory.
