Women's Sweatshirts and Hoodies

Athleisure and layering—these are two of the hottest trends in the fashion world today. Put them together, and you’ve got some of the best purchases you could make for your closet.

Cardigans or sweaters can be nice for more formal occasions when you need warmth, but any active lifestyle needs something more versatile and functional. That’s why athleisure has risen to the top, combining the soft feel of loungewear with performance power ready to tackle any gym visit, commute, or night out.

Not all athleisure styles are equal, though. Lazy designs and cheap fabrics are everywhere, so just how do you ensure you’re buying a top-notch top layer?

Today’s Tasc Performance guide is all about women’s hoodies & sweatshirts, the features you need, and styles you should try. Let’s get this outfit adventure started!

What Features Should My Sweatshirts Have?

What do all of our favorite sweatshirts have in common? Comfort is paramount for any outer layer, but it includes much more than just a soft texture. The highest quality comfort extends through activities of any intensity level.

Believe it or not, the same features you look for in workout clothes can be the difference-maker in your jackets, too. Moisture-wicking, breathability, and stretch material are key to helping your body regulate its temperature and stay mobile.

These factors are important to staying comfortable on the couch, at the track, in the mall, or anywhere in between.

At the heart of these essential features is the fabric your crewneck sweatshirts or pullover hoodies use. Traditional cotton is popular for its soft feel but easily overheats and rarely holds its shape. 

Synthetic fabrics, on the other hand, synthetic fabrics offer better performance but generally aren’t as soft and require chemical treatments that can be harmful to you and the environment.

Speaking of the environment, neither of these popular fabrics rate well for sustainability. Here at Tasc Performance, protecting our future is just as important as achieving the best performance. Thankfully, we have a fabric blend that does both.

Combining organic cotton and bamboo, we’ve brought two highly sustainable alternatives together with a complete list of functional features, thanks to the natural power of bamboo (our favorite miracle fabric).

If top-quality sweatshirts and eco-friendly production sound good to you, then check out the trending styles below!

What Are The Hottest Styles?

We offer a huge variety of equally stylish and performance-ready women’s sweatshirts at Tasc Performance, all of which are designed to keep your styles on-trend and ready to go year-round.

We paired this fresh trend with classic colors and modern engineering to create a great addition to your wardrobe. Pair it with joggers, sweats, or leggings for the ultimate athleisure look, and pull the hood up when temps drop. 

Equally versatile is our performance-focused Apex Brushed Quarter Zip. Lightweight and flexible, this garment is perfect for the tennis court in spring or your summer softball league under the lights. The bamboo fleece will keep you perfectly cozy, even if you just have a thin t-shirt underneath. 

For a more casual piece, we recommend our Riverwalk French Terry Casual Sweatshirt. Don’t be fooled—our bamboo-organic cotton blend still brings all the best sportswear features to this exceptionally stylish look that we’re sure will become a staple of your wardrobe.
