Oversized, cropped, dressed up or dressed down—there are so many ways to dress like you in your new hoodie
(and spoiler alert: they’re all so good).

How to Style a Hoodie


Whether you're running errands, hitting the gym, or grabbing a little treat with friends, a well-styled hoodie can elevate your look. Its effortless vibe makes it the perfect choice for everything from casual weekend hangs to laidback offices with a more relaxed dress code.

Choosing a Hoodie


When it comes to finding the perfect hoodie, there are a few key factors to consider: material, fit, and purpose. The material of the hoodie plays a significant role in both comfort and style. Look for fabrics that are soft, breathable, and easy to care for, such as cotton or cotton blends. These materials will keep you cozy without feeling too constricted.

Choosing the right fit for your hoodie is crucial and influenced by the style you're aiming for. Whether you're drawn to the modern feel of cropped styles, the laidback vibe of oversized hoodies, or the classic appeal of a more traditional fit, the key is selecting a hoodie that feels comfortable and works for your style. It's also important to focus on the details, like sleeve length and the hoodie's overall silhouette. If you're looking for a casual, everyday hoodie, prioritize comfort and versatility. For a more fashion-forward option, consider details like unique prints, embroidery, or trendy cuts.

In the Urban Outfitters hoodie edit, we have a diverse range of hoodies with the perfect balance between comfort and style. From classic solid colors to bold graphic designs, you're sure to find a hoodie that’s just right for you.

Casual Hoodie Outfits


Whether you're pairing them with jeans for a casual day with the girlies, lounging around in comfy bottoms, or layering up for a cooler look, we've got you covered.

Hoodie + Jeans


Hoodies are the epitome of casual comfort, making them the perfect pairing for denim. A classic hoodie and jeans combo is a timeless look that gives effortless cool. Go for a fitted hoodie to balance out the relaxed fit of baggy jeans or an oversized hoodie with straight-leg jeans for a more laidback vibe. Distressed denim adds an edgy touch to the outfit, while a crisp pair of jeans can elevate the overall look.

Hoodie + Lounge Bottoms


For ultimate comfort, matching a hoodie with leggings or joggers is the way to go. This combination is perfect for lounging at home, running errands, or even hitting the gym. Choose a lightweight hoodie for warmer days and a thicker, fleece-lined option for cooler weather. Experiment with different textures and colors to keep the look interesting.

How to Layer a Hoodie


As the temperature drops, layering becomes essential, and hoodies are the perfect base for creating cozy, layered outfits. Start with a form-fitting hoodie and add a leather or denim jacket for an extra layer of warmth and edge. For a more casual vibe, throw on an oversized cardigan or flannel over your hoodie.

How to Dress Up a Hoodie


While hoodies are often part of comfy looks, they can be mixed into dressier outfits with the right styling. A basic solid-colored hoodie provides a blank canvas to build upon with other pieces that elevate the overall look.

Hoodie + Skirt


One way to dress up a hoodie is by pairing it with a flowy skirt, such as a midi skirt or slip skirt. The juxtaposition of the casual hoodie against a more femme skirt creates an edgy contrast. Tuck in the front of the hoodie or leave it untucked over the skirt for a looser silhouette. Finish off the outfit with ankle boots or strappy heeled sandals.

Hoodie + Trousers


Tailored trousers or dress pants also work with hoodies for a modern off-duty aesthetic. Look for hoodies in sleek fabrics like cotton or modal blends. Roll up the hoodie sleeves, adding a laid-back yet polished vibe. You can even try a hoodie with a blazer on top an elevated take on the look.

Wearing a Hoodie for Work


For the office, hoodies can work for a smart-casual workplace with some thoughtful styling. Pair a neutral-toned hoodie with cropped dress pants and loafers or oxfords. You can also layer a hoodie under a blazer or lightweight jacket for added polish.

Hoodie + Accessories


The right accessories are key for elevating your hoodie outfit. A structured shoulder bag, whether it's a sleek leather tote or a trendy top-handle bag, instantly elevates things. Layering on dainty gold jewelry like thin chain necklaces can also work. If you want to make more of a statement, try bolder accessories like an embellished belt or printed scarf.

How to Style an Oversized Hoodie


Styling an oversized hoodie is all about creating a balanced look. The key is to pair the oversized top with more fitted bottoms, such as leggings, skinny jeans, or bike shorts. This contrast in proportions adds shape and definition to the overall look.

For a little edge, try an oversized hoodie with distressed details or raw hems. Pair it with chunky sneakers or combat boots for an effortlessly cool street-style aesthetic. Or, a cropped oversized hoodie can be a fresh take on the trend, offering a more modern silhouette when paired with high-waisted bottoms.

Styling Cropped Hoodies


Cropped hoodies are a modern take on the classic hoodie silhouette. When it comes to outfit ideas that complement cropped hoodies, high-waisted bottoms are our favorite choice. Pair a cropped hoodie with high-waisted jeans, leggings, or skirts to create a balanced and proportionate look.
