ruffle trim sweatshirt

Common trims include cascading ruffles on shoulders or sleeves, delicate lace edging, pleather fringe, and tulle or mesh ruffle accents. Many styles also pair these with glitter or other special-effect finishes.

Materials vary and commonly include cotton, polyester, spandex, rayon, modal, viscose and fleece, with mesh or tulle used for trims. Some listings also note recycled polyester in the fabric blend.

Options range from lightweight pieces with a soft, drapey feel to medium-weight knits that provide a comfortable, slightly structured silhouette.

Most styles are long sleeve. Hem treatments include at-waist, at-hip or below-the-waist straight hems, and some designs use peplum or banded hems.

Children's styles commonly feature metallic web prints, glitter-infused graphics, sparkling mesh or tulle ruffles, lined hoods, ribbed cuffs, full-length front zippers and playful hood appliques.

Beyond ruffles, features include drawstring or adjustable hoods, full-length front zippers on some kids' hoodies, ribbed or stretch sleeve cuffs, peplum waists, and occasional hidden or no pockets depending on the design.
