20
items If you want a hoodie or crewneck that looks pulled together instead of sloppy, this list is for you. It rounds up oversized, cropped, fleece and embroidered sweatshirts from Nike, Athleta, Aerie, Madewell and Anthropologie, with options for gym days,...
I sized down one size and it still looks wonderfully slouchy, so read the size note before you order. The fleece is midweight and holds its shape wash after wash, which is exactly what I want from a hoodie I wear weekly.
Nike Phoenix Fleece Over-Oversized Pullover Hoodie
The color choices here are what got me, because Royal Berry and Pink Petal make a plain errand outfit feel put together. It is longer through the body, so it covers leggings fully, and the fleece is soft without feeling heavy.
Aerie OFFLINE Cloud Fleece Oversized Hoodie
Here is the fun one on this list, a cropped hoodie with a painted landscape graphic that turns heads at the coffee shop. It sits at the waist, so I wear it over a long tank with high-rise jeans or leggings.
Madewell x Real Fun, Wow! Graphic Hoodie Sweatshirt
Athleta calls the fit extra roomy and I agree, so this is my pick for cold mornings when I want a real hug of a sweatshirt. The brushed inside feels plush on bare wrists, and the ribbing has stayed snug after several washes.
Athleta Forever Fleece Crewneck Sweatshirt
If your usual zip hoodie feels a little plain, this abstract print version is a nice step up without getting fussy. It has slant side pockets and an adjustable hood, and it layers well over a fitted tee for errands.
Daily Practice by Anthropologie Abstract Zip-Up Hoodie
I love a full zip for warm car rides and chilly pickup lines because I can open it up in two seconds. It comes in several colors, so you can pick a deeper shade instead of the usual grey if you want some variety.
Nike Phoenix Fleece Oversized Full-Zip Hoodie
Betterterry is brushed on both sides, so it feels like a worn-in favorite from the very first day. The little embroidery detail makes it look more finished than a plain sweatshirt, and the hidden side pockets are handy.
Madewell MWL Betterterry Embroidered Crewneck Sweatshirt
This is the one I grab when I want warmth without bulk, since the midweight plush fleece has a soft brushed interior. The extra roomy fit lets me layer a long sleeve underneath on the coldest dog-walk mornings.
Athleta Forever Fleece Hoodie
Anthropologie does embroidery better than most, and this crew has enough detail to wear out to dinner with jeans and boots. Treat it gently, though, by turning it inside out and washing cold to protect the stitching.
By Anthropologie Embroidered Crew-Neck Sweatshirt
Club Fleece is the classic Nike feel I trust, midweight and a little fuzzy inside with a smooth outside. The pink foam colorway is a cheerful pick, and the relaxed fit means it is not overwhelming on a smaller frame.
Nike Sportswear Club Fleece Graphic Pullover Hoodie
If hoods bother you under a coat, a mockneck is the answer, and this one keeps my neck warm without scratching. The Rome Blue shade is such a calm, pretty color that it makes leggings look like a real outfit.
Aerie OFFLINE Cloud Fleece Oversized Mockneck Sweatshirt
Cotton terry makes this feel lighter and breezier than fleece, so it works in early fall and over a swim cover-up in warm weather. It is oversized and cropped, so I pair it with high-rise bottoms and a tank.
Athleta Terry Crop Crew Sweatshirt
Nike suggests going down a size and I second that, because the dropped shoulders and long sleeves are generous. The taller ribbing at the hem keeps it from riding up, so it looks tidy over jeans, too.
Nike Phoenix Fleece Oversized Crew-Neck Sweatshirt
The slightly puffed elbow-length sleeves make this a nice option when you want a sweatshirt but do not want to feel sweaty. I like it layered over a long-sleeve tee in October, and shoved up on warmer afternoons.
Pilcro Niki Bubble Sweatshirt
The subtle blue wave embroidery is understated, so this hoodie goes with everything in my closet. I also like that it supports clean water projects, which makes the splurge feel a little better when I check out.
Madewell x charity: water Embroidered Hoodie Sweatshirt
Not everyone wants an oversized fit, and this classic one is perfect for you if you like a cleaner line. I zip it over a sports bra for a walk or open it over a tee for a trip to the grocery store.
Aerie OFFLINE Cloud Fleece Classic Full Zip Sweatshirt
Lenzing modal feels silkier than cotton fleece, so this cropped hoodie is the soft one I pull on after a workout. It is light enough that I do not overheat and still cozy when I am cooling down after a run.
Athleta Coaster Crop Hoodie
The side zips are my favorite little detail, because I leave them open for extra breeze or zip them closed when the wind picks up. Cut at 26 inches, it lands past the hip and looks great with black leggings.
Madewell MWL Betterterry Side-Zip Hoodie Sweatshirt
Daily Practice is Anthropologie's weekend-and-workout line, and this hoodie feels like it belongs in both worlds. Check the colors and sizes before buying, since the line moves fast and favorites sell out.
Daily Practice by Anthropologie Hoodie
This half-sleeve style is for the days when a full sweatshirt feels like too much but a tee feels too thin. It is breathable cotton terry with a modern cropped cut, perfect with wide-leg joggers or denim.
