It’s Hoodie Season: How To Style Yours Like A Cool Girl All Winter Long
With the holidays behind us and the colder temperatures settling in, we are declaring January hoodie season. Nothing is cozier than throwing on your favorite hooded sweatshirt. But how do you make this classic winter wardrobe essential look cool? The key is choosing the right brand, style, and size (hint: we like sizing up for a oversized fit), and then learning how to style yours like a pro. Whether you're hitting the streets, catching a flight, relaxing at home, or breaking a sweat, a well-styled hoodie can elevate your look. Here are four ways to style the perfect hoodie all winter long.
1. The STREETWEAR Look
If you love the look of the cool girl streetwear aesthetic, an oversized hoodie is a must-have, and styling it well is equally as important in achieving the look. Popular streetwear brands like Stüssy and Supreme were some of the OG’s in making the hoodie a streetwear staple. To create this aesthetic, look for oversized heavyweight hoodies with cool graphic designs and logos. Neutral tones like black, white, and gray are classics, but bright colors and patterns can also make a statement. Pair with other oversized pieces like relaxed-fit jeans, cargo pants, or joggers. Distressed or baggy denim will enhance the streetwear vibe. For extra cold days, layer under a bomber jacket, puffer coat, or denim jacket for added edge.

2. THE airport fit
Celebrities and influencers alike have made the hoodie a must-have travel companion. Keeping yours oversized is a great comfortable choice especially for those longer hauls and, of course, having the hood makes napping on a flight both practical and fashionable. Choose a slightly oversized hoodie in neutral or pastel colors for a sleek, versatile look. Pair it with matching sweatpants for a coordinated set or wear it with soft yoga pants or leggings. For the complete paparazzi-ready look, add a baseball hat, over-the-ear headphones, a structured tote bag, or a sleek carry-on bag elevate the outfit.

3. THE cozy girl
The cozy aesthetic became popular during the Covid-19 pandemic as people sought comfort and warmth in their clothing while working or relaxing at home, and this trend hasn’t slowed down since. Warm cozy fleece materials are ideal in the winter, and finding that perfect hoodie is key for an easy, cozy at-home outfit. Think soft textures, warm tones, and an overall snug vibe. Look for hoodies in plush fabrics like fleece or French terry. Neutral shades and muted colors create a calming effect. Pair with matching lounge pants or soft-knit shorts, flannel pants, or boxers for a cozy yet cool vibe. Fuzzy socks and cozy slippers are also a must. Binging Netflix? Add a chunky blanket scarf or a knitted throw for an Instagram-worthy lounging look.

4. THE gym fit
Athleisure continues to serve as an everyday style choice for many, combining function and style while blurring the lines between workout gear and casual wear. Whether you’re running to the gym or meeting up with a friend for coffee, layering on your favorite hoodie is an essential topper that will elevate your look. Choose a lightweight, moisture-wicking hoodie with minimal branding. Pair with high-waisted leggings, biker shorts, or tapered joggers. Compression fits work well for an authentic athletic look. Pair with your favorite sneakers, a large tote bag, headphones, and sunglasses for practical yet stylish additions. On colder days, throw on a cropped puffer or windbreaker for an effortlessly cool pre and post workout look.
