The piece

How to choose and wear a hoodie

A hooded sweatshirt, the most relaxed top there is. Great under a coat or a denim jacket; out of place with tailoring.

How to choose

  • Heavy cotton fleece keeps its shape and the hood stands up.
  • Plain or very small branding.
  • Grey marl, navy, black and olive.

Common mistakes

  • A hoodie under a suit jacket.
  • Faded, stretched cuffs.
  • Wearing it to anything with a dress code.

Care: Wash cold inside out, hang dry to prevent shrinking and pilling.

In a capsule: Belongs in a casual or travel capsule only.

What not to wear with brown hoodie

Skip the dark brown loafers. Loafers are dressier than a hoodie, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: brown and dark brown are close in depth; add a darker or lighter piece to separate them.
Skip the brown chinos. Chinos are dressier than a hoodie, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: tonal brown works when the pieces differ in texture or shade.
