The Ultimate Sweatshirt Guide

Today's sweatshirts have moved passed the cozy, worn in gray athletic cocoons that we've all grown up with. Sweatshirts are now a canvas for jewels, scissors, paint, dyes, feathers and fringe. Some designers have even gone so far as to build the sweatshirt out of materials such as leather, fur, silk and wool. While I am the last to call myself "trendy" there is something comforting about being able to wear a sweatshirt to work and not be accused of violating the dress code, so I've definitely added a couple of these to my fall wishlist.
