Hoodies work like a thinner jacket when it's hot, or a warming sweater when it's cold. The hoodie is truly a perfect in-between garment! We have gathered all the most popular picks, everything from essentials hoodies, Nike hoodies and more!
When hip-hop culture broke through in New York in the 70s, the hoodie also became a real statement garment in music circles. And after Sylvester Stallone ran up the stairs to the Philadelphia museum of art in Rocky III in 1982, big fashion houses like Tommy Hilfiger and Ralph Lauren began to include hoodies in their men's collections.
Whether or not you like hip hop – or running up stairs – you’ll surely find a favourite among these models.
Just do it is Nike's motto. With this hoodie in sweat-repellent Dri-FIT technology, you stay dry both during and after training, so you can concentrate on just doing it. The slightly higher collar also means that you avoid draughts around your neck.
This hoodie is made of 61% cotton and 39% polyester, is available in grey and black and has Nike’s well-known “swoosh” logo across the chest.
Stay warm on the way to your workout in a warm hoodie from Adidas that contains some recycled materials, caring both for you and for the planet. This sweatshirt is made of 57% cotton, 30% recycled polyester and 13% recycled cotton and has ribbed cuffs and hem.
Though the fit is described as normal, users find it somewhat large in size, which means picking a smaller size than usual is recommended when buying.
Think about where you’ll wear it. If you only need a sweatshirt for working out, it’s enough to get a basic model in a functional material, but if you want to wear it outside the gym, consider getting something better.
Zip or not? Sometimes it's nice to just pull something over your head, sometimes it's nice to be able to open up the front to regulate heat.
Look for pockets. Open sided kangaroo pockets are fine for hands, but has anyone ever actually managed to carry anything safely in one? Probably not. So if you need to carry things with you, it’s probably better to have pockets that can be closed.
