Founded in Canada in 1973, Roots is an iconic casualwear brand, renowned for its comfortable and timeless clothing inspired by nature and the Canadian way of life. Looking for comfort without sacrificing style? Roots sweatshirts and hoodies embody the brand's relaxed spirit, known for easy-to-wear pieces for everyday life. Perfect for a day in the city, travelling, or relaxing, a sweatshirt becomes a wardrobe staple when the temperature drops. Depending on the model, you'll find different fits, understated designs or more visible logos.

A Roots sweatshirt for a laid-back outfit

Your choice of sweatshirt depends on how you like to wear it. A classic fit works well for everyday outfits, while a looser silhouette gives a more relaxed look. Hoodies, with their hoods, offer another way to switch up your style. Colours, logos and finishing details vary by model: check the product pages for the exact fit and features of each style.

A sweatshirt can be worn on its own or layered. Over a t-shirt, it adds a practical extra layer when the weather changes. Under a jacket, it completes your outfit for outings or travel in cooler weather. For a coordinated look, play with colour contrasts or stick to similar tones with matching trousers.

How to wear a Roots hoodie or sweatshirt?

For a simple look, pair your sweatshirt with comfortable trousers and trainers. A plain style is easy to mix and match, while a logo or print can add character to your outfit.

The hoodie is great for layering: wear it open under a jacket if the design allows, or let the hood show for added volume. A sweatshirt without a hood offers a cleaner silhouette. In both cases, check the fit and thickness to ensure it's comfortable under another layer.

Complete your outfit with Roots trousers and add a Roots t-shirt as a base layer. The collection lets you create a coordinated look without having to choose every piece in the same fit or colour.

Which material to choose for your Roots sweatshirt?

The material affects the feel, weight and warmth. Cotton is popular for everyday comfort. Some garments may also include synthetic fibres, depending on their design, to alter the fit or properties. The exact composition varies by model: check the label or product page before choosing.

Consider practical details too: the presence of a hood, cuff finishes, collar type or pockets can influence your preference. These features differ from one model to another and help you pick a sweatshirt that suits your needs.

FAQ about Roots sweatshirts and hoodies

How do I choose between a sweatshirt and a hoodie?

It depends on your style and habits. A sweatshirt without a hood offers a more understated look and layers easily under a jacket. A hoodie gives a more relaxed style, with a hood that changes the volume around the neck. Compare the fits and details to find the one that suits you best.

How do I care for a Roots sweatshirt to keep its shape?

Follow the washing instructions on the label, as care depends on the garment's composition. Washing at the recommended temperature and drying appropriately helps preserve the fibres and shape. Avoid excessive heat, especially in the tumble dryer, if not recommended for the model.

How do I keep the logo or print on a hoodie looking good?

If your sweatshirt has a logo or printed design, turn it inside out before washing to reduce friction. Follow the label instructions and avoid ironing directly on the print. These steps help maintain its appearance over time.
