Style File - The Sustainable Sweatshirt

Style File is my weekly look at sustainable trends, we spot key items, looks or colours worth investing in for now, the next few seasons and beyond. This week its the turn of the sweatshirt. It's fashion credentials have crept up on us, moving from the safety of the sportswear market crossing into the fashion arena with ease. Balenciaga's cosmic prints and Kenzo's tiger motives in pop bright colours paved the way, turning the humble sweat into a must have fashion essential.
Here are a few of my favourites.
