The 20 Best Hoodies and Sweatshirts, According to Vogue Editors

The best hoodies and sweatshirts for women come in all forms, from classic black hoodies to fanciful sweatshirts in bright, cheerful prints and shades. And don’t forget Vogue’s new spring styles that just launched in our shop. It includes a “chic Vogue hoodie in a mix of timeless beige tones that go with everything,” according to Accessories & Collaborations Director Willow Lindley. For editor Naomi Elizée, “Fear of God’s Essentials line truly makes the best knit hoodies.” Whereas Assistant Fashion Editor Ciarra Lorren Zatorski notes, “Nothing beats throwing on a classic hoodie for the days you just want to add a sense of comfort into your life! I’ve recently been wearing Alo Yoga’s Accolade hoodie on repeat for a sporty yet elevated look.”

In many ways, while our basic closet essentials can help bring us a sense of comfort and ease in our wardrobes, that doesn’t mean our style goes away either.

I’m a huge fan of the high-quality Les Tien hoodies and sweatshirts. The brand has an arsenal of elevated basics in a rainbow of colors, but right now, I’m really into head-to-toe, winter-white outfits. The winning outfit combination makes everything look a bit more polished, even the humble hoodie.

Nothing beats throwing on a classic hoodie for the days you just want to add a sense of comfort into your life! I’ve recently been wearing Alo Yoga’s Accolade hoodie on repeat for a sporty yet elevated look.

Right now, I’m very into big cozy knits in a hoodie silhouette. Who says sweatshirts need to be made from cotton fleece or performance fabrics? These supremely soft and oversized styles intersect perfectly between luxe and laid back and have just the right on vacation feel for the warmer months to come.

Sweatshirts, contrary to popular belief, are even more essential in summer than winter. On chilly evening strolls or in overly air-conditioned interiors, a second layer remains necessary all year long. I love the sky blue of this Jacquemus hoodie. The cotton jersey is the perfect, transitional weight.

Fear of God’s Essentials line truly makes the best knit hoodies. I’ve been eyeing this one for some time and I think it’s about time I pull the trigger! Love the oversized fit and just by looking at it, I can tell it is extra cozy.

​​I exclusively buy vintage hoodies - old Russell Athletic and Champion designs, mostly from the 90s, and paper-thin, raglan-sleeved styles from the 80s - but these changed me. I was gifted one in powder blue for Christmas, and I wear it all the time. They are super simple but extremely well-made with a very generous hood, which feels really luxe somehow!

While some people like cozy cotton or a velvet velour hoodie, I lean towards a lighter, french terry fleece. This statement sweatshirt from Madhappy keeps me comfortably warm and reminds me to take a break from my screens.

I love a simple hoodie with subtle text! Fear of God’s oversized crewneck is as comfortable as it is chic. In my opinion, it's the perfect sweatshirt for an airport outfit.

I love an oversized, cozy sweatshirt. This one by Levi’s is a favorite of mine to relax in after a long day in the office. During the weekend, I love slipping on my Bleusalt waffle hoodie— it is soft, luxurious, and feels like butter on my skin. Although the waffle hoodie is currently low in stock, I do have my eyes on their Skater hoodie currently.

Eckhaus Latta’s sunset-ish hoodie—technically the print is called “Aura”—has been haunting my shopping cart…I think it’s finally time to buy. In shades of brown and rust, it’s basically a neutral that goes with everything!

If we’ve crossed paths in the past two or three months, you definitely saw me wearing this sweater. It’s the first merch drop from Harry Styles’ Pleasing line and also one of its bestsellers—no doubt due to its perfectly oversized shape and cozy brushed interior.

I never truly appreciated a good hoodie until the pandemic forced me to lean into comfortable staples. A recent addition to my collection is Alo’s Accolade Hoodie, which has quickly become my go-to. It's oversized and super soft on the inside and easily dressed up or down.

You know those mornings when you wake up and wish you were a little Parisian girl about to form two straight lines with Madeline? For some reason, that’s a daily occurrence for me, so in lieu of a walk through the Tuileries, I’ll don a sweatshirt from Les Garcons Faciles. Go get yourself a cwossant in this 100% cotton sweatshirt that will soften in truly the most magnificent way each time you wash it.

I live in this hoodie all year round! Not only is the mauve shade just as beautiful in person, but it’s also incredibly warm, soft, and has just the right amount of slouch without losing its shape.

I just need something simple.

My favorite sweatshirt is really a cardigan: the Agnes B. Le Classique snap cardigan. It is what I call French-girl hygge. It has steadily become a Zoom fixture for me.

I’ve been eyeing Collina Strada’s sweatshirts since the pandemic started. Hand-dyed with natural dyes, they’re guaranteed to bring a bit of cheer to the day and a dose of originality to any outfit. I imagine throwing it on with a pair of shorts and some Birkenstocks for an early morning walk with the dog.

Inspired by a classic Jacques Dutronc fit, this Celine sweatshirt is perfect for me. It’s made of a cashmere and cotton mix, making it very soft, thin, and lightweight. For the cut that I normally look for, I go for a women’s medium or large.
