Ruffle Hem Graphic Sweatshirt

A retro collegiate print across the front — PARIS WATER POLO, in the faded way a real one would be — on a soft, slightly cropped sweatshirt.

The hem is where it turns: a contrasting ruffle runs round the bottom, and the drawstring lets you cinch it into a balloon shape or leave it loose and straight. Two quite different tops depending which you choose.

The fabric

A soft brushed sweat fabric, mid-weight. The graphic is printed with a deliberate fade rather than sitting crisp on the surface, which is what stops it reading as merchandise.

How it fits

One size, relaxed and cropped just enough to want a high waist under it. The drawstring at the hem is functional, not decorative.

Looking after it

Cold machine wash and hang to dry. It presses easily if you want the seams crisp; a warm iron on the reverse is enough. Wash it with like colours for the first few goes.

A sporty graphic and a ruffle should not work together and they do, which is what makes it an aesthetic cute clothes piece rather than a plain one — and the cute clothes to wear choice for a weekend that is not planned.
