How to Fold an Oversized Sweatshirt Neatly

04 November 2025

Folding an oversized sweatshirt properly may seem simple, but to preserve its shape and avoid unwanted creases, it is essential to follow a few steps. Here is how to keep your sweatshirt looking as good as new.

Step 1: Prepare a flat surface

Start by finding a flat, clean surface, such as a table or a bed, to fold your sweatshirt on. This makes it easier to handle and ensures your garment stays free of dust and dirt.

Step 2: Smooth out the sweatshirt

Lay your oversized sweatshirt flat, face down. Make sure the sleeves are also stretched out and that the sweatshirt is nice and smooth. You can run your hand lightly over the surface to remove any creases.

Step 3: Fold the sleeves

Take one sleeve and fold it towards the centre of the sweatshirt. Repeat with the second sleeve, crossing them over if necessary. This step keeps the structure of the garment intact without adding unnecessary bulk at the sides.

Step 4: Fold the bottom upwards

You can now fold the bottom of the oversized sweatshirt upwards, bringing it up to just below the neckline. If your sweatshirt is particularly long, you can make two folds to reduce its length and make it more compact.

Step 5: Adjust and put away

Once the sweatshirt is neatly folded, check that no creases remain. Adjust the edges if necessary so the sweatshirt is properly aligned. Store it in your wardrobe or on a shelf for easy access on your next trip into town or cosy night in.

By following these simple steps, you will not only preserve the look of your oversized sweatshirt but also save space in your wardrobe.
