Though spring shopping tends to involve some combination of swimsuits, sandals and sundresses, shoppers would be remiss to ignore one key must-have: spring sweatshirts. Sure, spring is a season of warmth and excitement and days spent in the sun. But it’s also a season of transition, and few pieces promise to help us navigate the temperature ups and downs quite like spring sweatshirts.
I know, I know—I’m being kind of a downer. You’ve all but overdosed on cold weather, and if it snows one more time you’re going to vow not to leave your house until the Spring Equinox officially arrives. I get it. I’ve already spent too many March days in snow boots—and March literally just began. The last thing any of us want to think about as we look forward to spring is the chilly weather that undoubtedly awaits us in that season, too. But instead of taking a glass-half-empty approach, let’s try to appreciate all the romance and coziness inherent to spring sweatshirts, shall we?
Think of the last time you took a trip to the beach. Amidst all your bikinis and swim cover-ups and sand-friendly slides, you probably packed a couple cozier pieces too, right? Because it gets cold on the beach at night, and there’s nothing quite like enjoying the crashes of the waves, under the moonlight, on a beach inhabited by no one and nothing but you and your friends. Or what about the last semi-breezy day you spent in the park? The sun was beaming bright, but the gusts of air that blew through every few minutes or so gave you an absolutely delightful set of goosebumps—because without these chillier moments, you would’ve overheated and sought solace indoors after a mere 10 minutes.
These moments are romantic, and wonderful, and almost cinematic. They’re beautiful, and in many ways, they’re made more beautiful by the presence of cold air. Instead of failing to prepare for the chilly weather that undoubtedly awaits, stock up on cozy pieces that offer the warmth you seek in the winter but all the vibrant, fresh fun you seek from the spring. Spring sweatshirts are here to help you fill that void—and to make your most fairytale-worthy moments even more delightful.
