For a long, long time, sweatshirts have been embraced by tomboys as the gender neutral alternative to feminine cardigans and jackets. Sportswear continues to be one of the biggest trends in street and casual wear though a lot of women avoid sweatshirts since they aren’t very figure flattering or feminine. However, these five sweatshirt trends will help you stay pretty, feminine and cozy this fall.

If you have been working hard on those abs all summer long and aren’t ready to hide those puppies away under layers of cashmere and fleece, the cropped sweatshirt is just what the doctor ordered for you. Pair with a fitted cashmere camisole for colder nights or be bold and bare your midriff during sunny days.

4. Metallic Sweatshirt
