Sweatshirts -- Cool Fall Coverups

Now that Autumn is fast approaching, it's time to check the dresser drawers and closets to find your sweatshirts; there's no clothing better than a comfortable sweatshirt for a cooler than normal morning or evening. And you don't have to be content with a garment that is better suited for washing your car than an evening out with friends; you can find classy coverups that, in the end, are still sweatshirts. Like this J. Crew Sequin Sweatshirt ($40; reduced from $60). A slouch design (but no slouch) sweatshirt that puts up a glamorous front with a panel of glittering sequins, this coverup will offer you a relaxed fit in a classy garment that's ideal for shopping or parties. Throw it on, and you're out the door in a (literal) flash.


If you're reflecting on your college days (and remembering the fun times) this Vintage Havana Feather Fringe Sweatshirt ($40) will help refresh your memories. The cropped sweatshirt, of a cotton/poly mix (best hand washed, for continuing color brightness) of materials, features fringe and trendy Navajo detailing in eye-catching colors. The lengthy vertical fringe accentuates your height, making you appear taller than you really are, so if you're a petite and want to date a basketball player, this sweatshirt may just be for you. (Or you can just make your selection of the point guards available.) In any case, this nice coverup will be the envy of your pals.

When it comes to lounging, you want the softest shirt you can find; enter the urban Outfitters Peter Jensen Elephant Sweatshirt ($59). Super soft to the touch from its cotton, poly, and spandex mix of materials, the shirt stretches to hug your curves; raglan sleeves, scoop neck, and ribbing at the neck, hem, and sleeves seal the deal. Machine wash for the easiest of care. This sweatshirt is perfect for movies out, or in your home, or heading out for a pizza with your friends. But no matter; whether you wear this elephant logo sweatshirt at home or away, you'll love the feel and comfort that it offers you. And for those chilly nights, this sweatshirt fills in for your pajamas top. A double-duty sweatshirt; can't be better than that.
