To use this sweatshirt, simply put it on like you would any other top. It's great for everyday wear, whether you're running errands or just relaxing at home. When it comes to care, machine wash it in cold water with like colors to keep the magenta color vibrant. Tumble dry on low to avoid shrinking. Since it's made to order, be patient during the processing time. Also, the Lycra in the collar, cuff, and waistband means it may stretch a bit over time, but gentle handling will help maintain its shape.
