Sculpted design is shaping AW26
Sweats have evolved.
For AW26, volume becomes a design statement, fabric becomes architecture and comfort takes on a new dimension. Inspired by the latest retail trends, Sculpted Design introduces bold shapes, oversized proportions and heavyweight constructions that redefine what contemporary sweatwear can be.
At the heart of the story is a new generation of sweats. Led by the Sculpter hoodie, the collection combines sculpted silhouettes, exceptional handfeel and decoration-ready performance to create styles that deliver impact across lifestyle, merchandising and corporate projects alike.
Why Sculpted Sweats Are Trending
Across fashion, streetwear and contemporary retail, oversized proportions continue to shape the way people dress. But today's oversized sweatshirt goes beyond scale alone.
The latest evolution focuses on volume, shape and construction. Sleeves become fuller. Shoulders become more architectural. Fabrics become heavier. The result is a more intentional silhouette that creates presence while maintaining comfort.
AW26 embraces this movement through heavyweight fabrics and carefully engineered cuts that deliver sculpted forms without sacrificing wearability. These modern silhouettes help brands create stronger visual identities while giving consumers and end users a fashion-forward aesthetic.
Our Boldest Hoodie Yet.
Sculpter: Our Boldest Hoodie Yet
The Sculpter hoodie is the hero of AW26 Sculpted Design.
Created using a new 500 gsm brushed fabric, Sculpter delivers exceptional structure, creating a bold three-dimensional silhouette unlike traditional hoodies. The oversized fit and voluminous shaping create a contemporary profile inspired by today's leading retail trends, while maintaining a remarkably soft handfeel.
Available in Black and the AW26 hero lifestyle colour Pebble Blue, Sculpter redefines what a heavyweight hoodie can be. It offers outstanding decoration performance and a standout silhouette designed to elevate any collection.
Former: The Sculpted Crewneck
Sharing the same heavyweight 500 gsm fabric and oversized fit, the Former crewneck brings the Sculpted Design concept to a clean, versatile crewneck silhouette.
Its structured construction creates volume and shape while remaining easy to decorate, making it ideal for brands, merchandising projects and corporate applications looking for a contemporary sweatshirt with strong visual impact.
Hazener: The Perfect Companion
No modern silhouette is complete without the right foundation.
The new Hazener t-shirt introduces an innovative 370 gsm heavy interlock fabric made from 100% organic cotton. Its relaxed fit and handfeel create a substantial, elevated look that layers perfectly beneath oversized sweats and outerwear.
Designed to complement Sculpter and Former, Hazener helps create complete contemporary outfits with a strong retail-inspired aesthetic. The result is effortless layering and a more balanced silhouette from top to bottom.
Heavyweight Fabrics. New Shapes. Considered Comfort.
Fabric innovation sits at the heart of the AW26 sweat story.
The introduction of new heavyweight constructions allows garments to hold their shape while delivering the softness, comfort and durability today's customers expect.
The 500 gsm brushed fabric used for Sculpter and Former creates impressive structure while maintaining a soft handfeel. Hazener's heavy interlock fabric introduces a considered alternative to traditional t-shirts, delivering clean lines and exceptional comfort. Meanwhile, decoration-ready surfaces ensure excellent print and embroidery results across the collection.
The result is contemporary sweatwear designed to balance innovation, comfort and responsible material choices without compromise.
How to Style Sculpted Sweats
The Duo Approach
Pair Hazener with Sculpter or Former to create a complete oversized silhouette. The relaxed proportions of the t-shirt enhance the sculpted volume of the sweatshirt, creating a layered look inspired by contemporary retail styling.
Build a Full Look
For customers looking to create matching sets, AW26 introduces new opportunities through coordinated sweat and fleece bottoms. The Barreler jogger delivers a contemporary oversized barrel fit with heavyweight construction, while Needer offers a relaxed straight-leg alternative designed for effortless everyday styling. Both styles extend the sculpted aesthetic into full outfit solutions.
Layer with Colour
AW26's hero colour Pebble Blue adds a refined seasonal dimension to modern sweatwear. Inspired by naturally weathered stone, the soft muted blue brings calmness and contemporary appeal to oversized styles and layering pieces.
