Alternative Women's Adrian Fleece Zip Front Hoodie Sweatshirt

I bought 3 different brands of hoodies at the same time: Champion, Vetemen and this Alternative. All were about the same price.Of the 3, Champion and Vetemen seemed like they were made with sturdier fabric and would outlast the Alternative--by far. Yet I ended up returning those 2 and buying 2 more Alternative. Why?1. Although the fabric seems more flimsy and less durable by comparison, the Alternative is soooooo much softer and more comfortable than the other 2. It is just super super soft. The inside is fuzzy and cozy. The downside to that is that this material seems like it will pill eventually a lot more than the other 2. Still, I'd rather live with the pilling in exchange for the softness. Probably best to wash in cold and dry on low to preserve the integrity of the fabric.2. It is attractive. It has a nice shape and isn't too long. The other 2 were pretty shapeless and extended too far down the hips for my taste. I guess these are closer to teen or young adult size (even though I'm 40) whereas the other 2 are more true "womens" size. I'm 5'1", 110 lbs and small fits me very well.3. Ease of movement. Probably because of the fit and lighter weight, I find it much easier to move around in the Alternative hoodies than the other 2. The other 2 felt bulky, like I was wearing a jacket. The Alternative just feels lighter and more contoured to my shape so that it moves better with my body. I wear these around the house all day long.My sister tried my hoodie on and liked it so much she ended up buying one for herself. If you're looking for comfort and slightly fitted look, I'd definitely recommend. If you're looking for durability, this probably isn't your best bet.

I love this sweatshirt.. so does my boyfriend (I have bought 2 for me and 2 for him). So soft on the inside and comfy. HOWEVER.. They get so many pills on the outside so quickly that they really begin to look very ratty in no time at all. I threw my first one away because of this problem and the second one I would not wear anywhere in public. My boyfriend jokes and says we look like we dig them out of a dumpster somewhere. Really a shame. At least on Amazon they are generally a lot cheaper than on their website but still.. They should not get so bad looking so quickly :(

Okay I have some good feedback on sizes as I ordered these for my whole office with our logo on it. I am a small/medium and ordered myself a medium it fit fine. However I ended up with an extra large because it was too small for one an employee and I also wear the extra large for a loose comfy fit. You really can't go wrong if you order a size up. One of the girls thought for sure she wanted a small because she actually is smaller than me and she prefers a tight fit but she ended up going with medium. We all figure they mighy shrink a little as our boss has had one for a year but she says she doesnt dry it. It does get pilly but she also mentioned that it go8r that way after a year and I think that is pretty good. Almost everyone liked the purple color its beautiful and not too loud.

I fell in love with this brand when I bought a pair of joggers from Anthropologie. What I wasn't in love with was the price ($59). So I was thrilled when I found them on Amazon for less than half that! The hoodie is so cozy and soft. I'm not sure what the other reviewers mean about the sizing. I'm 34 DDD and the medium fits great. However I like the more fitted look if you want it to be more relaxed look you might want to size up. I'm off to go find this in more colors/styles!

These pill, but they're perfect for lounging at home. They're relaxed fit, but they aren't super short and boxy, which I appreciate. Because I knew I would be using these for lounging around the house purposes , and/or layering, i bought a large, when i usually where a medium. I could for sure fit in a medium, but i like the longer sleeves. I own two larges, and will probably buy a medium for when i plan to leave the house with one on :)

It's a great sweatshirt; soft, and a pretty color. The XS was too small unfortunately, but I returned it and the small is perfect. Typically XS is the perfect size for me; I am 5'6" and weigh about 105; but I do have long arms and a long torso; so unless you are petite, get a S or larger.

It is rough and spiky and feels very uncomfortable. Looks worn out too. Also interaction with the seller including returns is not very smooth/

Sweatshirt fit as expected, and the overall design was flattering. Unfortunately, the material was way too thin and the zipper, being white, was too much of a contrast. The color of the sweatshirt was beautiful, but the zipper really ruined it. This one went back - it wasn't expensive but it had too many things that just didn't work for it. Oh - I should mention that even though the material was quite thin, it was very, very soft. I didn't keep it though so I'm not sure if the softness would last through the wash.
