Does this sweatshirt run true to size?

No, it runs large. The size L bust measures 122 cm (48 in) with a 53 cm shoulder, so most shoppers should size down for a regular fit. Check the bust and shoulder figures against a sweatshirt you already own.

Is it warm enough for winter?

It is a medium-weight jersey knit, best for spring, fall and mild winter days. It works as a mid-layer under a jacket in colder weather but is not a heavy winter sweatshirt.

Does it have a hood or pockets?

No. It is a hoodless crewneck pullover with no pockets, so it has a clean silhouette but no storage or extra warmth.

What is the fabric and how should I wash it?

It is a jersey knit, likely a cotton blend. Wash cold and inside out to protect the lettering print, and avoid high heat so the ribbed cuffs and waistband keep their shape.

Is it meant for lounging or for wearing out?

Both. The relaxed cut and medium weight suit lounging, while the clean neckline and ribbed trim make it presentable for casual outings and travel.

How does it compare with a standard hoodie?

It is lighter and less bulky than a fleece hoodie, with no hood or pocket. It layers more easily under a jacket and looks tidier, but offers less warmth on its own.
