These Women’s Hoodies Are the Seasonless Wardrobe Staples You’ll Wear Year Round (2024)

For a hoodie that skims your body in the best way — it’s neither too loose nor too tight, unless you want it to be, of course — look no further than this classic hoodie from loungewear brand Skims of Kim Kardashian fame. Its cotton and polyester blend provides a solid level of warmth that’s neither too stuffy nor too lightweight for plane rides with unpredictable temperatures, while the six color options to choose from provide a pop of color while remaining easy to style (yes please, to a matching set in steel blue!).

Thanks to its hood, it’s certainly fall- and winter-appropriate and it’s got front side pockets to store your belongings or frozen hands (notice that the hood lacks drawstrings to adjust your coverage, but at least you save on bulk and any issues with them getting lost in the washer or dryer). Ribbed cuffs and a waistband complete the look, providing not just a stylish detail but an opportunity to lock in even more warmth.

Grab this ultra-cozy and budget-friendly sweater complete with everything you need to make it a practical option for your cold weather adventures: a semi preshrunk thick cotton and polyester air jet yarn material to reduce pilling, double-needle stitching at the seams and front pocket for added reinforcement, a double-lined hood with an accompanying drawstring to lock in warmth, and a classic fit that’ll look great paired with leggings or sweats. Better yet, it comes in 42 colors from cardinal red to charcoal – so at this price, you’re going to want to grab several.

Zip-up hoodies are the perfect option for switching up your look or level of ventilation on the fly, whether you’re looking to nail that effortless off-the-shoulder look in warmer temperatures or zip it up to your neck on brisk days. We love that this one is garment-dyed after production for a more vintage, lived-in look that gets better with wear and washes.

Next up, we’re huge fans of its contrast white drawstring for visual interest that’ll also help the hood stay put in the wind. Thick banded cuffs and hems allow the zip-up hoodie to sit flat against your body, creating a more streamlined look and feel free of bulk associated with other hoodies. The sweatshirt is designed to sit at the hip, and because it comes in petite, regular, and tall sizing, everyone can find the perfect fit.

Abercrombie is having a serious moment right now, and there’s no better way to take advantage of the legacy brand this fall and winter than with their popular Popover Hoodie.

Sweat-wicking neoprene makes it the ideal hoodie option for taking on a brisk walk or popping over your matching set when you’ve completed your workout at the hotel gym. A front pouch pocket for your belongings and a legging-appropriate length make it practical for everyday wear, while its side slits allow you to show off your leggings while assisting with added range of motion.

In an era of conspicuous consumption and buying anything and everything advertised on Tik Tok (we're guilty!), sustainable apparel should be top of mind. As your best bet when it comes to hoodies that are as kind to the planet as they are to your shivering body, look to Everlane’s ReTrack hoodie made with recycled cotton and polyester that reduce its carbon footprint and divert waste from landfills.

This hoodie is also as quiet luxury as they come: it’s got discreet side pockets for a minimalist look, drop shoulders to keep it looking perfectly slouchy, a waist hem that flares out slightly for a relaxed feel, and tapered sleeves and a ribbed cuff that won’t roll up under your jacket sleeve. While it only comes in three colors including heather gray and cocoa, they’re perfect for matching with everything else in your travel capsule wardrobe.

Its polyester fabric is infused with viscose for plenty of breathability and moisture-wicking properties as well as polyamide to promote durability and longevity (i.e.: no need to worry about snagging threads). Its drawstring hood gives it a practical touch while the leather detail at the zipper gives the cozy knit fabric some serious edge.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How often should I wash my hoodie?

  Because we tend to wear our hoodies layered over T-shirts, tanks, and base layers as opposed to worn directly against our skin, they can go a few (or several) extra days without a wash. To maximize the lifespan of your hoodie, plan to spot treat individual stains. However, if it starts to smell or becomes stained or dirty, it’s time to toss it in thewashing machine.

• How do I pack a hoodie to minimize wrinkles?

  While the folding method might make sense in your armoire at home, the rolling method will help prevent the look of wrinkles when packing your hoodie, since the material isn’t getting creased in one given area. Bonus: rolling your hoodie will also take up less space, which can be a concern for many travelers when it comes to packing thick and bulky clothing.
