The Luxe Hoodie Revival

The Luxe Hoodie Revival

The humble hoodie just got a glow-up — here’s how to wear it without looking like you’re headed to Pilates.

Once confined to weekend errands and Netflix marathons, the hoodie has undergone a quiet transformation — and dare we say, a glow-up. What was once your throw-on-and-go is now the piece editors, stylists, and off-duty models are styling with blazers, tailoring, and even heels.

In short: the hoodie has entered its chic era.

But this isn’t about the high school hoodie you wore until the sleeves frayed. Today’s take is elevated — cut from plush cottons, brushed fleece, and even cashmere. Think architectural hoods, boxy silhouettes, and tonal palettes that wouldn’t look out of place in a Céline campaign (the Phoebe era, of course).

So why the comeback? It speaks to where style is at right now — relaxed but refined, intentional but unfussy. In a post-pandemic world, women aren’t giving up comfort, they’re curating it. And a perfectly cut hoodie, layered under a trench or peeking out from beneath a blazer, delivers ease without sacrificing edge.

Brands are in on it.

  • Ninety Percent is giving us buttery-soft organic cotton that looks as good as it feels — plus, they donate 90% of profits to charitable causes.
  • Bassike makes tonal hoodies that pair back perfectly with their relaxed tailoring — think of it as uniform dressing for the minimal, modern woman.
  • Pangaia takes the sustainable route with plant-dyed hues and recycled fibres.
  • For those leaning luxe-luxe, The Row and Sporty & Rich are elevating the hoodie into an icon — all clean lines, creamy neutrals, and fashion-insider polish.
  • And if you want the cool-girl street edge? Fear of God ESSENTIALS is the go-to for neutral palettes and perfectly oversized fits.

So, how do you style it without looking like you’ve just rolled out of bed?

Start with proportion. A slightly oversized hoodie balances beautifully with tailored trousers or a structured midi skirt. Add a blazer or an oversized coat — it’s the layering that creates the magic. Tonal dressing also takes it up a notch: sand on oat, charcoal on dove grey, cream on white. And don’t underestimate the power of a sleek low bun, hoops, and a red lip to polish the whole look.

This isn’t about reinventing your wardrobe — it’s about reframing your go-tos. Hoodies, once a symbol of “don’t look at me,” have become a quiet power move. They suggest ease, control, and a woman who doesn’t need to shout to be seen.

Because style today? It’s more about how you feel than how formal you look. And sometimes, confidence starts with the perfect hoodie.
