The Zippy

The recent pandemic saw the rise of ‘lounge wear’ and sweats quickly became the go to garments, selling out across websites. Whilst people are once again digging their jeans out the wardrobe, there is however no denying that the sweat trend is here to stay. Therefore, we’ve been busy predicting how this might transcend into the traditional school uniform wardrobe. And our response is the ‘Zippy’, a full Zip baseball style sweatshirt. This full front fastening sweatshirt is a practical over-layer making it the perfect solution for those ‘in between seasons’ months. The ribbed collar, cuff and hem keep the cold out and the warmth in. Whilst the side pockets keep hands warm. And just like ‘lounge wear’ grew in popularity, so has ‘conscious shopping’. For those parents who are looking to make more considered purchases and reduce their environmental impact, the Zippy is a must. Manufactured with durable, recycled fabric and designed with a modern unisex style, it can easily be passed down between siblings. Making the ‘Zippy’ the new ‘basic’ amongst sweatshirts. Available to buy in Autumn 2020.
