    DETAILS

    Classic collegiate influence with a modern, relaxed edge.

    The Fraternity Sweatshirt in Black by Karen Walker reimagines heritage collegiate dressing through a clean, contemporary lens. Crafted from a soft recycled sweatshirting blend, it delivers everyday comfort with a considered, elevated finish.

    Designed with a relaxed silhouette, it features a drawstring waist that allows you to shape the fit to suit your mood - cinch it in for a more defined, structured shape or wear it loose for an easy, laid-back feel. The proportions are carefully balanced, giving it a polished drape that still feels effortless and lived-in.

    A subtle Runaway Girl embroidery at the chest adds a signature Karen Walker detail, offering quiet character without overpowering the minimal design. It’s an easy staple that pairs seamlessly with denim, tailored trousers, or relaxed off-duty pieces.
