“Hear me out: While this is technically a men’s hoodie, it’s so much better than any sweatshirt J.Crew makes for women. Plus it shrinks in the wash,” Smith explains. “The heavyweight material feels luxe and washes well, and I love that it looks a little more dressed up than your typical loungewear. I’ve even worn it on low-key date nights. It’s a standout hoodie, no matter your gender—just size down a little for the right fit.”

Plus, if you don’t like the look of a shoelace as a drawstring, this one has thicker pulls that add to the cozy, relaxed vibe.

This Anine Bing hoodie is all the rage on TikTok right now, and we totally get it.

“This is another men’s department gem that I own and love,” Glamour’s Smith says. “What I love most about this boxy hoodie is the way it ages. I own it in black, and it fades more and more with each wash, adding to the lived-in look that only comes with time. My other hoodies don’t really do this. While my version doesn’t have the cinchable hem that this one does, I wish it did.”

Miss the days when you could go to American Apparel and pick up a new hoodie? Los Angeles Apparel—a resurrected version of the former brand—is here to help.

“I’ve been obsessed with this hoodie since I got it,” says Jazmin Gathers, Glamour’s social media manager. “The fleece-lined inside keeps me warm, so it’s heavy enough in the winter, and that’s not even mentioning the satin-lined hoodie. I switch my hair up pretty often, but the hoodie is big enough to cover my braids, curls, dreadlocks, a bun—literally any hairstyle. It’s my go-to hoodie on rainy days for this exact reason.”
