22 Cooler-Than-Cool Crewneck Sweatshirts to Add to Your Closet (2024)

This crewneck has the feel of your college varsity crewneck and the sophisticated look of a Ph.D. professor, thanks to the dense, mid-weight cotton French terry that's also pre-washed for a lived-in feel. The shape holds up extremely well, even after multiple washes. From the first wear, it has that broken-in texture that will make you reach for it over and over again.

The Sur Sweatshirt is ideal for when you want to look a little bit more sophisticated but still want to look like you. The blend of organic cotton and hemp, the ribbed lines, brushed back fleece—everything about it—makes it one you'll want to wear all day, with jeans and whatnot.

If you're in a sweatshirt rut because it's seemingly impossible to find the right look, well then, here's the right look—a timeless salt and pepper garment dyed piece. Plus, this crewneck is made with loopback French Terry and adorned with Archival Champion details such as a raglan sleeve and left chest pocket.

Here's a crew that flaunts its streetwear grit. It's a sure bet for lounging, WFH, light activities, and of course, showing off your style in a similarly toned sweatpant. (And who can resist this sand hue, really?) Just don't wait too long to grab it, Fear of God is notorious for selling out of each drop pretty quick.

If you like more of an athletic fit, the ReTrack Crewneck Sweatshirt from Everlane is a great buy. Made from renewable materials and cleaner cotton with a classic crew neckline, this sweatshirt has that premium feel at a fraction of the cost and will look good on everyone.

Mack Weldon's crew is, forgive us, all aces. Design-wise, it's elevated monochrome—and you'll love the stretchy rib side panels. Comfort-wise, where do we even begin? The Ace crew is made from the divinely soft micro-brushed French terry. It'll look great with every outfit you can possibly muster, and make you feel great on every possible day.

L.L.Bean's take on the rugged crewneck sweatshirt is a visual delight. This option has high-quality texture and a slim-fit silhouette that will show off your build. But most importantly, the heavyweight fabric and brush interior keep you warm. So definitely toss this one in your bag before your next outdoor trip.

There are sweatshirts that you wear out. Then there are sweatshirts that you wear at home. Alo's solidly belongs to the latter camp as a lounging essential. It's incredibly cozy and toasty with a ribbed texture and even comes a chill, drop shoulder fit. Round it out with the matching sweatpants, then you'll never have any regret about being a homebody.

Just like Champion's notoriously cozy hoodies, its fleece sweatshirts feel just as nice, thanks to its cotton-polyester blend that's smooth to the touch. But don't let its premium comfort fool you: the crewneck is tough and durable, and can stand up to stains and keep its shape after plenty of washes.

A waffle crewneck sweatshirt, simply put, is a thermal shirt. Faherty take on that cold season layering piece. This crewneck has soft and lightweight fabric that moves with you. The material is a bit thin that you might mistake it for an undershirt—which makes it easy to pair with any kind of outerwear and trousers. It also hugs the body for a more casual look that still feels elevated.

For an option you can wear to run basic errands, we recommend the Essential Crew Sweatshirt from Abercrombie & Fitch, which is made with fabric that's soft AF. You can easily throw it on before an early morning run when the air is still cold and feel snug.

COS offers quiet luxury in their assortment of men's apparel. And the same applies for this crewneck sweatshirt made in a washed-blue hue. The body is crafted from textured cotton-blend jersey, while the cuffs, hem and neckline feature a neat ribbed finish. Whether you go for a casual look or smarten it with pants, this will be a classic piece in your wardrobe for seasons to come.

Nike put a spin on this classic crewneck for a modern streetwear-inspired look. Made with sustainable materials, the laid-back piece is easy to wear alone for lounging or with outerwear. The contemporary feel and soft cotton material will cement this sweatshirt as a go-to airport 'fit—paired with joggers and some Nike sneakers for a uniform look.

Oh, to have Pangaia in our daily wardrobe lineup. The distinguished gentleman that you are. No really, even Harry Styles co-signed for the UK brand. Anywho, this genderless crewneck sweatshirt is perfect for going out on the town, running errands or curling up on the couch.

Sunspel is known for its iconic Loopback crew, but we actually think its Loopwheel sweatshirt is its best crew. Everything screams quality here, from the time-honored Japanese loopwheel knitting technique to the dreamlike softness to the subtle stitches to the sporty profile.

A crewneck sweatshirt should fit close enough to your neck and body, but not completely skin tight. You want to have a bit of movement and room to layer underneath—not to mention, breathe. But at the end of the day, how you want your crewneck sweatshirt to fit is at your discretion. Crewneck sweaters come in a few styles: classic, slim-fit, oversized.
