Discover Roots sweats, ultra-soft essentials designed to accompany you every day.

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

The right 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 piece.

You can wear a sweatshirt on its own or layered. Over a t-shirt, it's 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.

Hoodies are great for layering: wear them 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 the 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: a hood, cuff finishes, collar type or pockets can all 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 gives a cleaner look and layers easily under a jacket. A hoodie offers a more relaxed style, with a hood that changes the shape around the neck. Compare fits and details to find the right one for you.

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. Wash at the recommended temperature and dry appropriately to help 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 print, turn it inside out before washing to reduce friction. Follow the label instructions and avoid ironing directly on the design. These steps help keep it looking its best wash after wash.
