Now and then, an outfit that is equal parts comfortable and chic comes out and becomes instantly copy-worthy. This type of outfit is all about balance and the art of juxtaposing casual pieces with elevated ones. Thanks to Olivia Wilde, we have an exciting new outfit formula ready for you to re-create. Wilde recently wore trousers with pointed-toe heels and added a styling twist that not many have thought to do—until now.

On a walk in L.A., right before her appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Wilde was spotted wearing a gray drawstring hoodie with her black trousers and black pointed-toe shoes. She slipped off her black blazer in favor of lighter layers for the sunny day and revealed her hoodie-outfit details even more. I wouldn’t have thought to style a hoodie with such luxe pleated dress pants, but the proportions of her outfit were perfectly placed together. Her hoodie was slightly cropped, hitting right at the waistline of her pants. She looked polished, even with a hoodie scrunched at the arms casually. This look has been living rent-free in my mind, and I couldn’t help but share this genius yet easy styling trick with all of you.

On the days you don’t feel like overthinking your outfit too much, try re-creating Wilde’s outfit. Keep scrolling to get her look, and shop more hoodies, dress pants, and pointed-toe shoes that blend well with your personal style.

If I had my choice of anything to wear to the airport, I'm still probably going to choose a hoodie. The reason? You can put it on over a T-shirt if you get cold, and you can take it off if you get hot. If it rains and you don't have an umbrella, pull the hood up, and it will be your de facto umbrella. Most importantly, if you're on a plane and want to sleep, a hoodie is the best way to protect your hair and face from the dirty plane seat and everything else (germaphobe here). And yes, it can make certain outfits look cooler.

I'm going on and on about hoodies because Bella Hadid just wore one to the airport in Venice, Italy, and it's one of the most elegant hoodie outfits I've yet to see. What made it so elegant? For starters, she wore a trench coat over it, which kind of makes anything look more elegant. Additionally, she wore a pair of slim black pants with a slight flare, black block-heel leather boots, and a structured tote—all 10 out of 10 choices.

If there's one takeaway from Hadid's chic airport outfit, it's to throw a trench coat on over your hoodie for the next travel day. Hey, it'll probably come in handy during your trip too. Keep scrolling to shop Hadid's look as well as some of my favorite hoodies for travel.

When fashion editors talk about a capsule wardrobe, often, it's the white T-shirt, black oversized blazer and wide-leg trousers that get most of the credit. But when it comes to this time of year, it's the layering pieces that deserve all the recognition. While I could wax lyrical about Uniqlo's thermals that are hidden beneath all my winter outfits, sometimes, you want layers to be seen. Because like a brilliant jumper underneath a jacket or a roll neck peeking out from underneath a shirt, it's these items that can add dimension to your new season looks. And there's one––often overlooked––item that most fashion people are wearing loud and proud right now: the hoodie.

Whether it's just the hood poking out underneath a wool maxi coat, a zip-up style worn as a top with baggy jeans or a logo iteration with leggings for running errand days, there's no shortage of surprisingly chic ways to style the humble hoodie. Need further proof? Keep scrolling to get some inspiration on how to embrace a hoodie for winter 2024/25, and then shop my favourite styles for all price points.

Style Notes: When you own a Celine hoodie, there's no way you're going to hide it. Grece shows how a zip-up style––worn as a top––looks effortless with wide-leg trousers and polished accessories.

Style Notes: Under a sleeveless jacket, a coat or an oversized blazer, a classic hoodie can give a whole new feel to your favourite winter warmers.

Style Notes: Busy women often need practical clothes, and a hoodie is one of those throw-on-and-go items you can wear to head to a gym class or just for a low-key weekend look.

If you're simultaneously obsessed with the latest micro-trends and too intimidated to test them out, you've come to the right place. This is Ways to Wear, a monthly series where editor Eliza Huber offers a dose of outfit inspiration centered around current trends that feel intriguing yet overwhelming at the same time. Consider it your guide to actually wearing the coolest items of the moment, no matter how puzzling they might appear at first.

Time and again, Miuccia Prada arrives at fashion month with a wealth of new ideas, both for the family business Prada and the brand she herself created, Miu Miu, in 1993. The fall/winter 2023 season was no different. This time around at Miu Miu, Prada's collection seemed to zero in on the beauty in imperfection, showcasing models looking intentionally frazzled while dressed in pieces that aren't usually considered chic or "fashion," like leggings, sweater sets, and most, significantly, hoodies, which are quickly becoming one of the most talked-about trends of the moment. 

"Through examination and study, clothes are shifted both in structure and their placement on the body," a press release from the show reads. "Familiar items—twinsets, knee-length skirts, hooded sweatshirts—move around the figure, afforded different strengths and fragilities through their fabrication." In more words, Prada was able to breathe new life into pieces that have long been overlooked through high-quality construction, interesting proportions, and intentional styling. 

As usual, the designer tapped stylist Lotta Volkova to demonstrate the coolest ways to wear the collection's offerings, putting simple gray hoodies underneath leather and herringbone peacoats and on top of buttoned-up cashmere cardigans and turtlenecks. With them, some models wore soft leggings and sneakers, and others skipped pants altogether, donning just briefs, tights, and open-toe heels for a more lustrous take on the basic layering piece. From the show, one could easily take away that the possibilities are endless when it comes to wearing hooded sweatshirts in 2023. Then again, everything looks better on the runway, especially when it's located at the beautiful Palais d'Iéna in Paris. Bringing them off the runway and into the real world is the truest test, which is why I decided to tackle the budding hoodie trend for my latest installment of Ways to Wear. 

Below, discover my takes on four hoodie-clad looks from Miu Miu's F/W 23 show and shop the basic that's gearing up for total domination. 

In all likelihood, you already own every piece necessary to re-create this look, from the leggings to the turtleneck sweater to the casual gray hoodie layered on top of it. What Volkova did that was so groundbreaking was put them all together, creating interesting proportions, shapes, and color combinations and adding details like statement earrings and peekaboo tights. Luckily, those are items we all have in our wardrobes or can easily add to them. For my take, I took a cashmere turtleneck I got last winter from Brooks Brothers and added a white zip-up, a camel-colored peacoat, and a pair of black leggings that have otherwise only known the inside of my local Planet Fitness. With those garments, I wore sheer tights, Nike sneakers, and luxury accessories, including my Prada 1995 Re-Edition bag, Jenny Bird earrings, and Linda Farrow oval sunglasses. The result? An outfit I could comfortably wear to pick up groceries or attend a fashion event.

Going pants-less is practically second nature for me now given how many times I've test-driven the growing runway trend, which kicked off during the spring/summer 2023 season at Bottega Veneta and spread like wildfire throughout fall fashion month in February. Miu Miu's take this season was especially alluring because of the way it was balanced out with heavier layers on top, including sweatshirts, peacoats, and more. Pretty peep-toe heels added a touch of elegance to the otherwise laissez-faire, almost forgettable ensembles. To re-create the look IRL, I took a herringbone peacoat from COS and layered it underneath a gray hoodie and charcoal-colored cashmere crew-neck that I stole from my dad's closet years ago. On the bottom, I wore my trusty Calzedonia tights, Reformation briefs, and cream-colored Paige sandals that give just the amount of height that's necessary when you're not wearing anything but underwear and hosiery.

I'm a sucker for anything that gives off incognito energy. This is probably because I live in one of the busiest neighborhoods in one of the most populous cities in the world and prefer to fly under the radar 99% of the time. So when I see a look like this one that includes a hood—a great tool for hiding in plain sight—and a big coat, I fall hard and fast and probably want to replicate it as soon as possible. So that's exactly what I did. To further lean into the hooded-figure aesthetic, I added my go-to sunglasses from Linda Farrow, the one accessory I truly never ever leave home without.

If you're really into the hoodie trend like I am, you'll probably love this look the most, as it doesn't hold back from allowing the mid-layer to be the star of the show. No fancy outerwear involved—only a gray hoodie and some knitwear. Hell, there aren't even pants in the picture to distract from the main event. During my test, I found that accessories are a key to pulling off this ensemble, as you want pieces that elevate a hoodie and tights to make it less "walk of shame" and more Miu Miu. As such, my bag, earrings, timepiece, and heels played an important role. I also think layering underneath the sweatshirt makes a big difference, specifically the white top peaking out from underneath my knitwear. It adds necessary dimension to an otherwise simple outfit.

I am sick of being uncomfortable. My day-to-day outfits are always so structured. Whether it be skin-tight leather pants to work, a bodycon dress on a night out, or even just mid-rise jeans to go run errands, my body is being constantly squeezed by fabric and sometimes I just want to let everything loose.

I had just gotten home from a day at the office, when my roommate burst in through the front door. She said a quick hello to me and our dog and then made a beeline for her room. She emerged after no more than twenty seconds, no longer in what I call her "paralegal power pantsuit” and instead in a cozy purple sweatsuit. 

"Where in the world did you get that?” I said, immediately envious of her cozy attire.

"Amazon,” She said, and immediately I grabbed my computer.

There was the solution. Comfy clothing, cute enough to wear outside or inside, that won’t break the bank. I scrolled through endless options of cute, cozy clothes that I couldn’t wait to change into the second I came home from work, a wild bar night, or a day out and about. 

Fast forward 24 hours to my roommate and I lounging on our couch in matching sweatsuits, with our dog longingly gazing at our outfits (or our fried rice, not sure which).

I have a problem. 

Somehow, despite owning drawers and drawers of sweatshirts, I cannot stop buying more. Here’s what happens: I go to boutiques or department stores with the intention of buying new jeans, maybe finding appropriate shoes to wear to work, or sometimes I literally just go to Soho to walk my dog and browse. And yet in all of these scenarios, I have somehow left with a new sweatshirt. This happens so much that my closet is approximately 80% sweatshirts, 15% other clothing, and 5% dog hair.

For a large portion of the year, I cannot defend my actions. "Gaby, why in the world do you need a lavender, sherpa-lined hoodie in August?” my mom might ask, as we FaceTime so I can show her my latest treasure and then quickly hang up when I realize I have no justifiable answer. This goes on for a few months every year, and as my drawer of sweatshirts increases, the temperature starts to decrease. Finally, it’s sweater weather. 

This is all to say that I have a lot of experience in the densely populated sweatshirt industry and have therefore rounded up the 16 best designer sweatshirts to keep you warm and toasty this winter. Fair warning, some may cost a hefty sum, but I like to think of it as window shopping (or in this case MacBook shopping). The variety of styles and styling has allowed me to create more outfits incorporating sweatshirts than I would have thought possible. 

While buying an expensive trendy item may seem pointless, purchasing a sweatshirt you love is actually an investment. Trends may come and go, but sweatshirts will always be in style. And that’s priceless. So Mom, if you are reading this, there’s your answer.

Don't Worry Darling is already one of the buzziest films of the year, even though it's many months from being released. The reason? The cast, which includes 2021's first new It couple: Olivia Wilde (who also directs the film) and Harry Styles (pictured above, on set). For several months now, they've been filming around Los Angeles and Palm Springs, and they just wrapped production, which was capped off with a wrap party. The significance of this wrap party is that the aforementioned couple was, of course, in attendance. 

There's a sole photo from the wrap party, posted by one of the actors, and in it you'll see Styles and Wilde standing next to each other, notably wearing matching white hoodies. It's a basic so it likely wasn't planned, but it just goes to show that their styles are very much in sync. Perhaps we're reading into it a bit, but either way, what's not to love about a little subtle matching?

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but winter is coming soon. But with it comes the arrival of cozy season and all the comfy items we'll be shrouding ourselves. If there's one thing the pandemic taught us about wardrobes, it's that hooded sweatshirts aren't a want, they're a need. If you're facing the East Coast snow, they're a go-to essential to keep warm. Even in places like L.A., girls are relying on them for easy layering when the weather gets a little bit chilly. I love regular crew necks, but there's an element to hoodies that just makes your outfits look 10 times cooler in my opinion. Plus, they just feel cozier, don't you think?

While the market may have previously had a smaller selection of hoodies, the loungewear boom of 2020 also brought in a variety of cooler and more elevated designs to incorporate into your outfits. If you're still wanting to add some comfy but cool pieces to your wardrobe, then you're in luck. Below, I've rounded up a variety of options of the "boring" basic for you along with outfit inspiration to help you create your next look.

What to Look For

Shopping for a hoodie seems straightforward enough, right? Since most pullover hoodies looks the same online, you'll want to pay attention to details like material and fit to find a standout style that you'll want to reach for over and over. Look for a high percentage of cotton, typically 70% and up ensure a soft and breathable feel. Also, keep an eye out for fit details like a drop-shoulder and ribbed cuffs. These details are good to know when doing your own shopping, but we've also done much of the legwork here by sourcing our top eight favorites below.

The Best Hoodies:

• H&M Hoodie ($21)
• Skims Cotton Fleece Classic Zip Up Hoodie ($74)
• Les Tien Cotton-Jersey Hoodie ($265)
• Zara Neoprene Effect Jacket ($70)
• Frankie's Bikinis Aimee Cable Cloud Hoodie ($150)
• ALO Accolade Hoodie ($128)
• Abercrombie & Fitch Essential Popover Hoodie ($70)
• Los Angeles Apparel Cropped Heavy Fleece Zip Up ($60)

1. Best Overrall: H&M Hoodie

With over 3000 glowing reviews, seven mostly neutral colorways, and a too-good-to-be-true price tag of $21, this H&M hoodie is an immediate hit. H&M shoppers have all sung the praises of this style for how insanely soft it is, and many of them insisted that it's the perfect oversize fit. One reviewer noted that you can still get a bit of an bigger fit even when getting your regular size (because nobody wants a tight-fitting sweatshirt), although if you're looking for a really baggy look, consider sizing up. As for the fabric and feel, one reviewer put it succinctly: "It is really great quality. It was soft and not too thick. I hate when my hoodies are too thick and suffocating because there is so much material. This one is still warm and comfortable without feeling like I can’t move." 

2. Skims Cotton Fleece Classic Zip Up Hoodie

Like most things Skims does, its Cotton Fleece Zip-Up Hoodie is just as good as people say it is, and probably better. A favorite of the whole crew of Kardashian-Jenners from Kylie to Kim, this Skims pick is one of the rare hoodies that ranks as high on the comfort axis as it does on the cool one. Made from Skims' softest fleece fabric that reviewers can't stop singing the praises of. "These are the best fleece sweatshirts!" one Skims shopper asserted. "Somehow they’re made to look flattering yet totally comfortable."

3. Les Tien Cotton-Jersey Hoodie

I'm pretty sure that Les Tien's hoodies (and the matching sweatpants sets) are the absolute highest peak of luxury you can achieve. Don't let the $265 price tag scare you off just yet—it may be higher than the average cotton hoodie, but once you feel how premium the breathable cotton-jersey fabric is, you'll understand exactly why investment loungewear is a thing. In fact, this Les Tien has amassed a cult following in Hollywood like nothing else, counting Jennifer Lopez, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley among its customers who have purchased the hoodie and sweats in multiple colorways.

4. Zara Neoprene Effect Jacket

This Zara hoodie has made waves in our fashion team's Slack channels for its thick, weighty look that makes it akin to the ones Miu Miu sent down their F/W 23 runway. Thanks to its neoprene-like fabric that gives the jacket structure, this $70 pick looks any but sloppy for a hoodie and given the chic way Zara is styling it with a black handbag and trendy oversize earrings, it's way too cool to just be loungewear.

5. Frankie's Bikinis Aimee Cable Cloud Knit Hoodie

"For the girl who is a bit wary of the hoodie trend, I highly suggest my recent purchase from Frankies Bikinis," Who What Wear associate editor Sierra Mayhew tells me. One glance at the cable-knit style confirms that this style is like the anti-hoodie hoodie. With a waist-hugging shape, it reminds me more of the Y2K tracksuits that Britney Spears and Co. wore than it does of the baggy hoodies that emerged from 2020. Paired with one of the matching pants or knitted short-shorts, this Frankies Bikinis hoodie is far from lazy-looking—it's downright iconic. "Their lounge sets have gone viral every winter as of late," Mayhew continued, "and they’re insanely flattering. The comfortable cable-knit fabric comes in a form-fitting hoodie that sucks you in instantly. I pair it with the pants for work-from-home days and long-haul flights.” 

6. ALO Accolade Hoodie

Leave it to cool-girl activewear brand ALO to deliver one of our favorite standard-issue hoodies. The Accolade Hoodie is a fan favorite among influencers, but I can also confirm just how good it is IRL. I got my hands on the grey set last winter and was immediately intoxicated by its interior lining that was buttery soft and so warm and cozy. ALO shoppers are backing me up on this and they've lent the hoodie more than 800 glowing reviews, agreeing on how soft and perfectly oversized it is.

7. Abercrombie & Fitch Essential Popover Hoodie

One thing about finding a great hoodie: Don't overlook the men's department. "After stealing far too many of my husband's Abercrombie sweatshirts, I gave in and purchased one of my own," associate editor Yusra Siddiqui shared. With a classic boxy fit and forward neutral tones like heather oatmeal and chocolate brown, this Abercrombie pick is a total sleeper hit. "I'm particularly picky with loungewear, as certain fabrics can easily make me uncomfortable," Siddiqui continued, "but everything about this sweatshirt makes me never want to take it off. It's incredibly soft and plush on the inside and outside, something I can't say for many other brands. Even after a few washes, the quality held up. (I did wash it on delicate, though!) I also love how there's a huge variety of colors to pick from." 

8. Los Angeles Apparel Cropped Heavy Fleece Zip Up

"I did a story a few months back re-creating hoodie-clad looks from the F/W 23 Miu Miu show and wore this super-classic Los Angeles Apparel zip-up in most of the looks," editor Eliza Huber shared. "I love how much they remind me of hoodies I had as a kid, with no logos or flashy details on them, making them perfect for styling in a casual-cool way underneath big, tailored coats and blazers. I even wore them with tights and underwear like they were styled at the show, a look I highly recommend when your fall and winter outfit rotation starts to feel stale."

When I first think of merch, I think of the T-shirts I'd see students wearing in high school featuring the cool band they saw at the local concert arena or the logo of the college they aspired to get into. To me, merch was something that told a little story about the person wearing it and it felt more personal than the other pieces of clothing one owned. While fashion merch has evolved a long way from then, making its way into more communities, subcultures, and aesthetics. The core of it is still there: the desire to wear and represent your favorite brand/organization/cause.

Today, it's not just about slapping a logo or image on a T-shirt. There are higher expectations set in place because when one buys a merch item, they're associating themselves with a part of that image—whether it's a message, aesthetic, or a brand. Either way, it's something they obviously want to incorporate into their dressing, so why not make it look good, too? Artists have already received the memo and got more creative with keeping their fanbase entertained with their promotional clothing, like Taylor Swift with her album themed cardigans and Justin Bieber's streetwear line, Drewhouse.

Music items aside, there's a whole group of merch to get into. From beauty to the wellness and mental health space, brands are taking note that people want to feel connected to their clothing, more than ever. If a design, image, or quote can resonate with someone on a further basis than just aesthetics, all the more reason for them to wear it.

If you're interested in the merch fashion scene and want to know what you're missing, then I've relayed some of the best options on the market right now. Keep scrolling to find one you'll be happy to add to your cart.

There's something very comforting about a sweatshirt with a hood. I guess I like the ability to be able to hide or warm up my ears at any moment. But the point of this story is not all the many uses for a hoodie (my favorite is protecting my hair from the backs of airplane seats, what's yours?). The point is that H&M has so many good, cheap hoodies, and I don't really feel the need to shop for them anywhere else. That's exactly what I was doing recently when I started to notice a theme...

H&M is doing some genius hoodie styling these days. I always just let my drawstrings hang there, but I now see that I've been doing it all wrong. H&M had fun with both its zip-up and pullover styles, tying the strings in pretty bows and knots. First up is my favorite: Tying the strings of an unzipped hoodie in a bow. I may never go back to free-hanging hoodie strings again, thanks to H&M.

An outfit that includes skinny jeans and a hoodie isn't particularly luxurious, even if said jeans and hoodie are designer, but Holmes made it so this week while out and about in New York.

Voila, you have a very luxurious-looking outfit that's easy to create and comfortable to wear.

When it comes to gift-giving, clothes are perhaps the riskiest move for a lot of people. Maybe it's because style and fit are such personal things, but I know I panic inside when I notice someone has bought me clothes. You know what always lands, though? Athleisure, which is entirely perfect because everyone, from fashion It girls to A-list celebs, is pretty much living in stylish athleticwear this year. Jogger sets, oversize hoodies, and leggings never fail these days, whether they're a hero item in an outfit or the look entirely.

Remember when everyone wanted a Snuggie circa 2008? The commercials were hilariously cringe-worthy, complete with entire families lounging around in matching versions, but the blanket-with-sleeves idea was pretty darn practical for chilly winters at home. But you don't have to literally wear a blanket so get that coveted warm and cozy feeling—and you definitely don't have to settle for one-size-fits-all.

The collection consists of mix-and-match velour pieces in four different colors and prices range from $42 to $128. There's a tank top, bandeau, long-sleeve collared shirt, and a track hoodie, along with both wide-leg and tapered pants to go with them. As a bonus, there's also a super-soft velour robe as well. Say it with me now: That's hot. P.S., there aren't many things that could qualify as both a Halloween costume and a lounging-at-home look, so lazy folks would be wise to take advantage.

Obviously, Gap has never truly gone away since its founding in the '60s, but the brand arguably hit its peak popularity around the '90s and early 2000s when its logo was ubiquitous.

What should I look for in a pullover hoodie?

• Material: Different sweatshirt fabrics provide varying degrees of softness, breathability, and warmth. For instance, cotton is soft and breathable, making it comfortable for year-round use. Materials like fleece and wool are better suited for colder months, while fabrics such as terry and polyester are ideal for warmer weather.
• Size/Fit: Buying the right size sweatshirt will ensure it flatters the body shape and doesn't look too baggy or too tight. To find your right size, when shopping for a sweatshirt online, check out the brand's size guide, read reviews, and look to see what size the model is wearing and compare your body size to that.

How do you style a hoodie?

Casual wear has become increasingly popular, appealing to those who value comfort and versatility in their everyday outfits. This cultural shift has elevated hoodies from simple loungewear to stylish options for outings. They can be fashionably paired with straight-leg jeans and loafers, a mini skirt and flats, leggings and sneakers, or joggers and slippers. The options are endless.

This post was originally published at an earlier date and has since been updated.

Among many other things (such as slippers, loungewear, and sweatpants), I can’t tell you how many of my friends have asked me to help them find "cute hoodies” in the last few weeks. I guess it shouldn’t too be surprising, seeing as many of us are spending more time at home than ever and are predominately shopping for all things comfy, but I guess it never occurred to me how overwhelming the options out there can be.

With that in mind, today I decided to cull the internet for the best hoodies out there so that all you have to do is scan this story, and you’re done. Below, you’ll not only find a range of styles from plain to printed, neutral to bright, but as always, there are picks for every budget, too. So whether you’re looking to spend $20 or $200, just keep scrolling for 29 cool and cozy hoodies everyone will love.

When it comes to online reviews, my first instinct is to lean on Nordstrom and Amazon. But don't forget about Urban Outfitters! The retailer has amassed hundreds of honest reviews from its loyal shoppers, allowing us to sift through its vast selection to find the very best of the best. Searching for everyone's favorite hoodie? The best baggy jeans? The ideal floral dress? Urban Outfitters' "Top-Rated" sticker will no doubt guide you to the right place. 

As you would expect from Urban Outfitters, nearly all of the best-reviewed pieces ring in at under $100. You've got $59 cropped cardigans, $69 skinny jeans, $59 floral dresses, and more. In light of the current health crisis, many of us are staying at home more than ever, so I made sure to include plenty of loungewear pieces to keep you cozy.

At Who What Wear, our editors have been reporting for duty from home to aid in social distancing, so instead of getting dressed for the office, we’ve been putting together outfits to dial in to video chats (today, ours was hat-themed) and work remotely. For some inspiration, I asked our team to snap photos of their looks. Although it might seem trivial to think about outfits during a pandemic, fashion is something I’ve personally been looking forward to. It gives me a moment of levity and creativity and a distraction from the news.

So what are the working-from-home 'fits Who What Wear editors are wearing right now? From matching sweatpant sets to baggy jeans to cozy cardigans, our team has some looks that are the perfect combination of comfy and chic. 

Kristen Nichols, Managing Editor

While I have been wearing sweatpants some days, I've found it motivating to get dressed in something closer to what I would normally wear to the office, aka jeans and a button-up. But to stay comfortable, I've been wearing loose-fitting jeans like this '90s-inspired style which practically feels like pajamas.

Shop my look:

Kat Collings, Editor in Chief

"These LeSet pants are my go-to for long-haul flights, so naturally they've become a WFH staple. I love that they're high-waisted, and there's a matching cardigan! Which felt like it deserved an exclamation point. I've been working with the window open to feel connected to the outside world during this time, so a double layer (turtleneck and button-down) helps ward the chill away."

Shop Kat's look:

Allyson Payer, Senior Editor

"I work from home full-time, but since WFH outfits are such a hot topic right now, I’ve tried to step it up just a bit. I’m a big fan of Alo’s lounge sets, and you can’t see it, but it’s worth mentioning that I’m wearing a leopard-print Ganni scrunchie.”

Shop Allyson's look:

Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour, Senior Market Editor

"This is a combination of my WFH look and my daily (short and isolated) walk-around-the-block ’fit. The name of the game is comfort, so I’m wearing my favorite sweatshirt with stretch-waist pants and my New Balances.”

Shop Nicole's look:

Courtney Higgs, Associate Beauty Editor

"Tie-dye is an inherently mood-boosting print, so this oversize tee has been critical to keeping my spirits up while WFH. Every time I catch a glimpse of it in the mirror, it makes me smile. I've been pairing it with bike shorts and gold hoops to tie my hippie-chic look together a bit."

Shop Courtney's look:

Anna LaPlaca, Associate Editor

"I've found that changing out of my pj's—even while working mere feet from my bed—can do wonders for staying motivated and feeling energized while WFH. I reached for a pair of very oversize trousers that are just as forgiving as any of my sweats, tucked in my favorite bodysuit, and topped it off with a shrunken cardigan because, hey, I still want to dress on trend even if it's just for myself. Oh, and cozy slippers—these are the one at-home luxury I always look forward to putting on at the end of a long day and now I wear them 'round the clock."

Shop Anna's look:

Lauren Eggertsen, Senior Fashion Editor

"There is nothing I love more than an oversize shirt while working from home. It's comfortable, and on the rare occasion that I need to slip outside for something, I can just throw on some leggings underneath!"

Shop Lauren's look:

Ray Lowe, Contributing Editor

"My attempt to be business up top but WFH down below. These pants are light cotton and just as cozy as pj pants! Both items from Lacausa!"

"I'm all about a comfy matching set when I WFH. This Naked Cashmere one feels (and looks) seriously luxurious—perfect when I want to feel like I've made at least a little effort for virtual meetings!"

Bobby Schuessler, Senior Market Editor

"I'm all about sweat suits right now—especially in a trendy oatmeal hue—so I'm basically living in this set at the moment. This teamed with comfy socks is a win in my book."

Caitlin Burnett, Contributing Editor

"Since working in my pajamas isn't productive, I opt for a WFH outfit that's equally as comfortable but helps motivate me to get things done. My favorite cropped Reformation sweatshirt, Zella leggings, and Ugg slippers are my go-to for the perfect balance of comfort and structure. I also have a sports bra on underneath the sweatshirt so that when I'm finished working I can transition right into a little at-home workout. And yes, that's Sex and the City 2 on in the background because we could all use a little something to cheer us up."

Erin Jahns, Beauty Editor

"I'm not going to lie: I'm obsessed with sweats and would wear a hoodie and leggings 24/7 if I could. That said, I've noticed I always feel better if I wear something a little bit chicer—even if it's still loungey and cozy. My apartment is always either super hot or super cold, so I like to mix and match basics like this top and these shorts from Inamorata. (If I get chilly, I just throw on a big cardigan or even a black jean jacket.) I'm obsessed with slippers and am leaning into the Ugg moment that's happening right now. And I always have my Quay blue-light-blocking glasses on hand! I have an easier time falling asleep at night if I'm diligent about wearing them for most of the day."

Hoodies have for a long time had a rather scruffy reputation. However, this winter it's not just Justin Bieber who is living in a hooded sweatshirt. This week I keep noticing even the smartest of dressers wearing a hoodie snuggled underneath their blazers and tailored coats, showing this isn't just a student staple.

The key here is to keep the rest of the outfit quite structured and contrast the tailoring with a cosy hoodie in either camel, grey, navy or a soft pastel. Think mixing a pair of heeled boots, black trousers, smart camel coat and a leather shoulder bag with a grey marl hoodie and a knitted beanie. This layering trick is the perfect way of easing back into getting properly dressed after a week in pyjamas—you look smart, but it means you don't need to let go of loungewear just yet. Keep scrolling for ideas for how to style a hoodie in a smarter fashion—and shop the look for yourself.

Style Notes: Stick to a neutral colour palette, with browns, camels and greys.

Style Notes: Ada wears a simple grey hoodie underneath her checked skirt suit.

Style Notes: Stacey Dooley is the queen of loungewear, and here she wears a grey hoodie with an oversized leopard coat.

Style Notes: We love this simple combination of straight-leg jeans, a grey hoodie and camel coat.

Style Notes: The checked coat smartens up the tracksuit bottoms, trainers and grey hoodie.

Please don't hate me for what I'm about to confess. I have never been the biggest fan of hoodies. Don't get me wrong. I understand why sweatshirts are a beloved staple. Intellectually, I know that hoodies are one of the few basics that happen to be both comfortable and cool. I can get the allure of a cashmere hoodie when it's colder—it's basically the fashion equivalent of feeling like you're bundled up in bed, even if you're not. If I'm being honest, though, sweatshirts have never matched my fashion preferences. I'll always be the girl dressed up at the bodega, even when it's below freezing outside. That's my prerogative. I know that not everyone shares my feelings about sweatshirts, so I've had to shift my perspective on how this staple can be styled outside of a gym.

While I don't think I'll ever consider myself a hoodie lover, I've learned through time that hoodies can be pretty chic when creative styling is involved. In an effort to affirm those findings (primarily to myself), I've decided to create an extensive guide on how to style hoodies in every season. Ahead, I've curated examples of hoodie outfits with styling tips and shopping recommendations that prove this piece can be polished or, at the very least, pretty cool. Whether you're not the sweatshirt type like me or live for sweatshirt season, these 13 outfit ideas will ensure you don't look like you belong in bed but are still just as cozy.

WEAR: Hoodie + Denim Maxi Skirt + Knee-High Boots + Crossbody Bag

Style Notes: One of the most straightforward ways to style a hoodie is with sweats and sneakers, but if the outfit has been feeling stale lately, try making small swaps. Rather than sweatpants, opt for a denim skirt, and swap out your sneakers for a pair of heeled knee-high boots. It's simple, but it significantly affects your look overall.

WEAR: Hoodie + Full Skirt + Mini Bag + Pointed Pumps

Style Notes: If you want to make this sportswear staple feel more sophisticated, consider styling it with unexpected items such as a full skirt, pointed pumps, and a mini bag. The contrast between the pieces will make your hoodie look far chicer.

WEAR: Sunglasses + Hoodie + Pleated Miniskirt + Socks + Loafers + Shoulder Bag

Style Notes: Another way to make this piece feel more polished is to pair it with preppy items, such as a pleated miniskirt and classic loafers. It will make you feel like you belong on an Ivy League campus.

WEAR: Sunglasses + Hoodie + Leather Vest + Midi Skirt + Socks + Loafers

Style Notes: While styling your sweatshirt with formal separates can make it feel fresh, it's not the only way. For a fall-coded 'fit that's a bit less formal, go for an all-black outfit with a hoodie, a leather vest, a midi skirt, and loafers. It's a fail-proof way to make this classic staple feel cooler this fall.

WEAR: Hoodie + Sequin Shoulder Bag + Miniskirt + Knee-High Boots

Style Notes: Make your graphic hoodie stand out this season by leaning into specific fashion aesthetics when styling it. Personally, I love the idea of giving the item a Y2K spin by pairing it with a miniskirt, knee-high boots, and a sequin shoulder bag. There are so many ways to wear this staple, so don't be afraid to experiment.

WEAR: Hoodie + T-Shirt + Printed Scarf + Cargo Skirt + Combat Boots

Style Notes: If you're not a fan of the aughts, you can draw inspiration from the '90s by going for a grunge-inspired look. Pair your hoodie with a cargo skirt, a plaid scarf, and cargo boots for an edgier take on this everyday item.

WEAR: Hoops + Hoodie + Leather Coat + Track Pants + Sneakers + Clutch Bag

Style Notes: Not into channeling specific fashion eras? Frankly, I get it. If you're looking for a way to make this staple feel signature to your style, consider giving it your spin. Try styling sportswear items with unexpected separates and accessories. A hoodie and track pants feel balanced out when paired with ballet flats, a leather trench, and a clutch bag.

WEAR: Blazer + Layered Hoodies + Sweatpants + Loafers

Style Notes: Wearing your hooded sweatshirt with unexpected separates is a surefire way to make it stand out, but if you can't be bothered to spend a ton of time styling your hoodie, there's an even simpler way to do so: Embrace layers. Even if you're wearing a sweatsuit, when you add a boxy blazer and a pair of luxe loafers, you've got an outfit that's super stylish sans effort.

WEAR: Sunglasses + Hoodie + Leather Trench Coat + Wide-Leg Jeans + Pointed Pumps

Style Notes: Another way to play with layering this fall is to style your hooded sweatshirt with the season's biggest outerwear trends—like a leather trench coat. Even a basic red hoodie can be couture coded when styled with a long leather coat, wide-leg jeans, and pointed pumps.

WEAR: Sunglasses + Hoodie + Bomber Jacket + Leather Pants + Ankle Boots

Style Notes: Leather outerwear isn't the only thing that looks good with an oversize sweatshirt. Frankly, there's no better thing to style with everyday basics than other staples, so consider pairing your hoodie with leather trousers, a bomber jacket, and ankle boots for a look that will stun.

WEAR: Hoodie + Baseball Cap + Faux-Fur Coat + Jeans + Sneakers + Slouchy Bag

Style Notes: When it's cold outside, coaxing yourself out of bed can be challenging. Thankfully, this cute outfit can do the trick! For those of us who live for dressing up, throwing a faux-fur coat over a hoodie, jeans, and sneakers strikes the perfect balance between being chic and cozy.

WEAR: Hooded Shirt + Oversize Sweater + Knee-High Boots

Style Notes: If it's not cold enough to add a heavier coat, consider pairing a hooded shirt with an oversize sweater and knee-high boots. This outfit formula can work for any climate.

WEAR: Blazer + Hoodie + Trousers + Slingback Heels

Style Notes: By now, I've hopefully provided you with ample inspiration on how to wear a hoodie in different ways year-round. Let me leave you with some parting wisdom: Get creative. Yes, hoodies will always look good with sweatpants, but why not pair yours with a suit? Ultimately, you won't regret styling this staple with unexpected separates. If anything, you'll convince the anti-sweatshirt crowd to join the cause.

Over the past month and change, we have written three stories about dad fleeces (see exhibits A, B, and C). The last time we wrote a story about hoodies was April. Maybe we're reading a bit into it, but we happen to have an inkling that fleeces are the new hoodies. Gigi Hadid, model and hoodie lover, just proved our point, opting to wear a bright blue dad fleece by Sandy Liang with gray trousers and snakeskin boots in New York yesterday.

We've recently come across more fleece pullovers, jackets, and sweatshirts than ever recently (more even than the last time I actually shopped for one for my dad), signaling to us that the time is now to invest in one. Wondering how to style them? You could go the full-on dad route and wear them with straight-leg jeans and clunky sneakers (which would be a very of-the-moment look), or you could follow Hadid's lead and pair one with polished pieces that make it feel a bit more unexpected than it already does. Either way, we have ourselves a trend—and doesn't hurt that it's actually ridiculously comfortable, too.

Our most worn item of clothing in our wardrobe? Our hoodies. Yes seriously, we love them. Okay, so maybe not our most worn piece of all—jeans have to take that crown—but they do come a very close second. Which is why we decided to design our range: the A Style Album I AM LOVED hoody really has been a labour of love. Combining all the things we appreciate and avoiding everything we dislike from our existing hooded sweatshirt collections to design our dream style that we’ll wear everywhere; from the school run to the gym, to meetings and for dinner (maybe not all in the same day!) meant that it had to be the perfect length, shape, colour and thickness of sweatshirt fabric. We finally got there.

Hoodies, for some, are thought of as something you pull on when you want to be a complete slob, or something that you grew out of wearing, but we’re here to prove they can be worn in a grown-up, smarter way. Like with so many tricky items, it's really all about how they are styled. They are like our comfort blanket—we instantly feel relaxed when we pull one on. The colours we’ve designed are super versatile and will be easy to mix and match into your existing wardrobe. Looking stylish while staying comfortable is the key for us, so if you haven't already it’s time to embrace the hoodie. Keep reading to see how we always style them out…

Unless I'm dressing for an occasion that requires a specific dress code, I like to direct my style toward the casual-cool route.

Enter hoodies. Although they're seen as the typical "lazy" clothing item, they can be styled. Whether I choose to wear a cropped version with jeans or go for an oversize iteration layered under a coat or blazer, hoodies are both comfortable and practical. I’d even go so far as to say that hoodies give any outfit an effortlessly cool vibe à la Hailey Bieber or Gigi Hadid. (And who doesn’t want to achieve that?)

If there's one thing we know about street style right now, it's that hoodies are back in a major way. Remember when we showed you how to style one for almost any occasion? Well, our latest styling trick is here, and it's easier than ever. 

The idea came to us from up-and-coming model Kaia Gerber's latest Instagram snap, thanks to a tip from InStyle. The model showed off a chic olive-green sweatsuit with one important detail—the hoodie's cut-off hem. You could crop off the bottom of one yourself with just 10 seconds and a pair of scissors! You can also shop her exact set below for under $200. Either way, considering Gerber shares stylist Monica Rose with the Kardashian-Jenner clan and even Gigi Hadid, we're gonna go with our gut that this casual-cool silhouette is going to be big.

Fashion month is always a huge source of inspiration on and off the runways. After it's over, we editors excitedly analyze all the standout styles and trends that we predict will be huge in the months to come.

There were plenty of statement trends and looks that stimulated our sartorial senses on the recent fall/winter 2023 runways (think: fiery red, fishnet tights, and glistening metallics), but there's one humble item that made a surprising and lasting impression on us—hoodies. We were particularly drawn to the hoodie outfits spotted on the Miu Miu runway. Plain T-shirts and knits were styled with zip-up hoodies and jackets, creating a layered look that is so easy to imitate. The brand provided plenty of fresh ideas for how to wear the casual basic that most of us already own. (Styling the staple with undies as they did is, of course, optional). All our editors have been utterly fascinated with these Miu Miu hoodie looks, and the allure lies in the fact they're so darn easy and affordable to copy.

Not only was the basic omnipresent on the runways, but hoodies were also spotted among the street style set, styled with everything from full skirts to edgy, oversize leather jackets. It's safe to say that the casual, cool, and affordable basic is ruling in 2023. Get inspired by how fashion people are wearing hoodies now and shop our favorite styles below.

Miu Miu proves just how effortlessly cool a zip-up hoodie can be when styled over neutral knits and layered under a boxy beige blazer. (Pants are optional!)

Give a bold and vibrant hoodie a polished touch and style with an of-the-moment full skirt and pointed-toe wedges.

There's no cooler combo than a hoodie and an oversize leather jacket. Dress up the casual look with heeled knee-high leather boots.

Okay, we love the idea of styling a statement sequin skirt with a contrasting casual hoodie. It's a fashionable juxtaposition that will get you all the likes on Insta.

Yes, a hoodie can look luxe. Opt for a classic black knit style and wear it under a tailored vest. A midi skirt and pretty Mary Janes will add a polished touch.

A vibrant blue hoodie is the perfect way to make an all-black ensemble pop. Kudos if you can match your hoodie to your sneakers.

Style an oversize leather jacket, relaxed jeans, and New Balance sneakers with your zip-up hoodie for an off-duty look that's simple yet stylish.

As the temps warm up, the coolest way to wear your hoodie is with belted denim shorts. A smart oversize blazer and loafers will pull the look together. Fun and chic.
