Copenhagen Bamboo hoodie and sweatshirt for everyday
Short answer: The Copenhagen Bamboo hoodie and sweatshirt are designed as calm basics without large prints. They are worn as a mid layer and on days at home all year round.
Hood or crew neck
The hoodie adds a layer around the neck and is mostly worn outdoors, while the sweatshirt is the simplest choice indoors. Both are calm basics without large prints, so they fit most wardrobes. The choice is mainly about where you will wear it.
Hoodie for men
The men's hoodie has a straight cut that works on its own or under a jacket. The hood gives a little shelter on windy days, and the front pocket is handy for keys and phone. See the styles in bamboo hoodie for men.
Hoodie for women
The women's hoodie is cut to fall softly over the body and works for walks as well as the sofa. It pairs well with trousers in the same quality if you want a calm overall look. See the range in bamboo hoodies for women.
Sweatshirt for men
The sweatshirt is the simplest style, with no hood or drawstrings. It sits neatly under a jacket and can also be worn over a shirt if you want an extra layer. See the styles in bamboo sweatshirt for men.
Lighter than classic sweat
Because bamboo viscose moves moisture away, the top does not turn clammy when you come indoors. That is the main practical difference from a heavy cotton hoodie. You can keep it on when moving from cold to warm without it feeling heavy.
As a mid layer
In autumn and winter the top is usually worn between a t-shirt and a jacket. Here it helps that it is not too thick, so the jacket still closes. Choose a size that gives room across the shoulders without hanging.
To complete the set
The top has matching trousers in the same quality if you want a full set. A set in one colour looks more put together and is easy to pull on for a day at home. See bamboo sweatpants for women.
Washing
Pull out the hood drawstrings if they tangle in the machine. Wash at 40 degrees inside out and dry the top flat so it keeps its shape. More advice in the washing guide for bamboo clothing.
Colour and use
Dark colours are mostly worn outdoors, as they hide wear from bags and jackets. Light colours tend to stay indoors. If you want the whole set in one shade, see the range in sweatwear, where tops and trousers sit side by side.
Fit
A hoodie or sweatshirt can be relaxed, but the sleeves should end at the wrist and the ribbed hem should sit at the hip. If the top is too long, it bunches when you sit. Measure a top you like and compare before choosing a size.
Frequently asked questions
Is a bamboo hoodie warm enough in winter?
On its own it is best for mild days. In winter it works as a mid layer under a jacket, where it keeps you warm without turning clammy when you come indoors.
What is the difference between a hoodie and a sweatshirt?
The hoodie has a hood and often a front pocket and is mostly worn outdoors. The sweatshirt has a crew neck and is the simplest style, sitting neatly under a jacket.
Can the top be tumble dried?
It is best to dry it flat. The tumble dryer wears on the fabric and ribbing, and a top that dries flat keeps its shape better through many washes.
