The Best Sweatshirts on Sale Right Now | GQ

Find anything you save across the site in your account

Winter can be a real bummer. But the best sweatshirts on sale might be the saving grace of the season, leaving you feeling toasty—and your wallet feeling lucky as hell. So allow us the opportunity to wax philosophical on sweatshirts for a moment: they’re so carefree, so quotidian, that it can be easy to take them for granted. And yet, we'd struggle to name another item worn as frequently—or loved as much—as a truly great hoodie. In other words, we tend to put the least amount of thought and buying intention into one of things we wear most. Call it the pullover paradox, if you will.

Anyways, we think about sweatshirts. A lot. All kinds, too: expensive ones, cheap ones, paneled ones, boxy ones, hooded ones, zippered ones, and, well, you get the point. Is that normal? Probably not—but because we think about ‘em so much, we’re uniquely qualified to round up the very best sweatshirts on sale, and deliver them straight to you, your trembling torso, and your soon-to-be-grateful wallet. Wear responsibly, and stay cozy out there.

Les Tien is one of our favorite new knitwear brands of recent years and it's all thanks to an unwavering focus on all things sweats, hoodies, and sweatshirts.

Who said hoodies had to be heavyweight to be any good? J.Crew's lightweight French terry hoodie is sumptuous, velvety soft, and a tad lighter than average which makes it perfect for those who run hot.

Loose but not oversized, hardy but not cumbersome, broken-in but not worn-out, shorter but not cropped—this one threads almost every needle.

As close to the platonic ideal of a hoodie as you can find.

Outerknown's California sweatshirt isn't just a great fit with a vintage, lived-in feel. It's also one of the few options on the market that uses cotton that's actually good for the soil.

A cashmere hoodie sounds excessive—because it is—but it’s also hard to care about such things while wearing a cashmere hoodie.

Cozy, with a side of attitude.

You could spend ages trying to find the perfect vintage crew, or you could just get this one on sale and save yourself the hassle.

A comfy zip-up fleece hoodie that'll pass for a sweater in nearly all sweater-applicable scenarios.

You don’t always want to let a hoodie headline your outfit, but if it’s a purple velour hoodie that drapes like this one does, by all means.
