Looking for That One Perfect Sweatshirt? Aerie Has It, and It's 40% Off Right Now

There is nothing — no, nothing — quite like the perfect sweatshirt. What defines "perfect" may vary from person to person, but there are some characteristics that most can agree on. For starters, the best sweatshirts are just the right amount of oversized. They're super soft, cozy, and don't lose their shape in the washing machine. Ideally, they come in a variety of colors, so once you find it, you can stock up and always have one to reach for in your closet. If you've yet to find this sweatshirt unicorn, look no further: Aerie's Sweat Everyday Sweatshirts check all the boxes and then some, and right now, they're 40 percent off.

Aerie is known for its relaxed basics and everyday loungewear, and its sweatshirts are some of the stars of the brand's offerings. Its Sweat Everyday Cozy Collection was designed to be as insulating and cozy as possible without feeling stiff or overwhelming. In other words, these sweats keep you warm without letting you overheat. They're made with an 86 percent cotton, 14 percent polyester blend, and offer details like pockets and ribbed cuffs. The Sweat Everyday Cozy collection offers sweatshirts in both crew and mock neck styles, depending on your preference.

Perhaps most notable is the color selection. The Cozy Mock Neck Sweatshirt comes in 11 colors, including a festive hunter green, an electric green-yellow, and more neutral shades like black, gray, navy, and beige. In addition to its versatile, vintage-inspired collar, the Sweat Everyday Cozy Crew Neck is cut longer on the hips, has a breast pocket, exposed seams, and comes in six different cool tones, from a soothing blue to an ultra-light heather gray.

With the ultra-soft feel, generous (but not baggy) cut, and the variety of color choices, it's no surprise that the sweatshirts in the Sweat Everyday collection have mostly five-star reviews. One shopper called them the "most comfortable sweatshirt ever," and another said they'd be "living in it for the foreseeable future."
