How to Choose Between a Hoodie and a Sweatshirt

A hoodie provides a hooded neckline; a sweatshirt may layer differently under a jacket. Think about the function and silhouette you want.

Choose the right proportions

Start with how the garment sits at the shoulder, chest and hem. A hoodie can look different with baggy jeans, straight-leg denim or tapered sweatpants. Check measurements rather than selecting a size solely by the letter.

Shopping considerations

Think about the function and silhouette you want. Think about the number of outfits you can build from the purchase, whether you want a statement finish or understated silhouette, and how you plan to care for the garment.
