Sweatshirts for Older Girls
Sweatshirts for teen girls sit between a T-shirt and a coat: a pull-on layer for chilly classrooms, after-school clubs and weekends. These MINOTI styles are cut for girls aged 8 to 15 who have outgrown younger prints and want something that looks a little older. Without a hood, a sweatshirt lies flat under a school blazer or a padded jacket, so it layers more neatly than a hoodie.
Sizes follow height rather than age, which helps when a girl is tall or petite for her year group. As a guide, a girls' sweatshirt for age 9 is usually 140 cm and a girls' sweatshirt for age 10 is usually 146 cm. If she is between sizes, go up one: sweatshirts are meant to sit loosely, and the extra length still covers the waistband of her jeans or joggers. The fabric for each style is listed on its product page.
Your questions answered
MINOTI sweatshirts for teen girls are pull-on tops for girls aged 8 to 15, worn for school, clubs and weekends and sized by height, with a girls' sweatshirt for age 12 usually in 158 cm.
What size sweatshirt does a girl need at age 11?
An 11-year-old girl usually takes 152 cm. If she is tall for her age or likes a looser fit, go up one to 158 cm for extra length in the body and sleeves without it looking oversized.
Can she wear a sweatshirt under her school blazer?
Yes, if the school allows it. A sweatshirt has no hood, so it lies flatter than a hoodie under a blazer or coat. Stick to her usual size, for example 146 cm for a 10-year-old, so the shoulders do not feel bulky.
