Trending: Crew Neck Sweatshirts

               Fashionable, comfortable, and affordable. Those three words are the motto that is lived by most teenage girls when they go out shopping. The problem is that most things that are fashionable and comfortable, aren’t affordable, and those that are affordable and comfortable, aren’t fashionable. Well, what if I were to tell you that the common crew neck sweatshirt fits all three points of the criteria, and is rising in popularity amongst teenagers across the country.
               I myself am a sweatshirt fanatic as I own about 20 sweatshirts (not kidding!). Part of this obsession has to do with the fact that I live in Iowa, where a majority of the time we have cool temperatures so what other choice is there than to wear a sweatshirt on these days. Also, it is very cozy to curl up in an oversized sweatshirt and hang out on lazy days in front of a fire during the winter months.  
                Now, you are probably wondering why I specifically said that crew neck sweatshirts are making the upward trend and not just regular hooded sweatshirts. For me, I think a majority of the reason why I like crew necks more is because as a girl you don’t have to worry about your hair getting all tangled up in the hood of the sweatshirt. So that makes it easier to wear your hair down with a crew neck rather than a hooded sweatshirt where it will get bunched up in the back. 
                Another reason as to why I think crew necks are rising in popularity, has to do with the common fashion theme of my generation of teenagers. I would identify our fashion theme as a throwback to the 80s, commonly known as hipster, because you see a lot of high-waisted shorts and leg warmers making their comeback. Another article of clothing you could add to this list of throwbacks would be the crew neck sweatshirt which was also very popular during that time period and is once again making its comeback amongst our teenage population.
                So, if you are just having one of those lazy days, where you don’t feel like dressing up and wearing a nice sweater, but you want to wear something that is fashionable and comfy, I would definitely recommend throwing on a big oversized crew neck with some yoga pants. For the affordable aspect you can literally buy a crew neck sweatshirt anywhere, from your local Goodwill all the way to a department store. For this winter season, I foresee the crew neck being a big hit, so get out and go buy one for yourself!
