What the AI looks for in Women's Sweatshirts
- Fabric weight
- Heavyweight fleece offers structure and durability. Lightweight fleece is good for layering. Weight drives warmth and how the sweatshirt hangs.
- Shrinkage
- Pre-shrunk or cross-grain knits reduce length loss. Wash cold and air-dry. Cotton fleece shrinks lengthwise.
- Fit
- Check whether it is cut oversized or fitted before choosing a size. Sizing varies widely.
