No matter which season, you can't go wrong with a comfortable hoodie. And if your go-t0 sweatshirt isn't bringing you joy anymore, it might be time for a refresh. You can go classic with an oversized pullover, get a thin, lightweight zip-up for layering under a coat or workout gear, or opt for an ultra-cozy style lined in warm fleece.
From tried-and-true athletic companies like Nike, Lululemon, and Champion to innovative iterations from newer activewear and fashion brands, there are a plethora of quality sweatshirts for women out there. Plus, there's no wrong way to wear a sporty hoodie. Pair it with coordinating sweatpants or winter leggings and comfy slippers to lounge around in, try the high-low look and dress them up with skirts and ankle boots for work, or wear a cropped version with high-rise jeans on the weekends.
And a little tip from Oprah: "A hoodie is just one of those gifts that suits a multitude of people of different styles and ages," she said when curating her Favorite Things gift guide (look ahead for top picks that made the list). To make things even easier, we've rounded up some of the softest and coziest hoodies on the market. Consider your everyday upgraded.
This soft yet thin hoodie has a fan: Oprah counted it as one of her 2021 Favorite Things. "This cushy number (in versatile shades) is next level and pairs just as well with jeans as it does with a skirt," Oprah said. "I’d even layer it under a blazer."
