According to the Runways, Hoodies Are an It Item: 8 We’re Already Shopping

Not to be the bearer of bad news, but winter is coming soon. But with it comes the arrival of cozy season and all the comfy items we’ll be shrouding ourselves. If there’s one thing the pandemic taught us about wardrobes, it’s that hooded sweatshirts aren’t a want, they’re a need. If you’re facing the East Coast snow, they’re a go-to essential to keep warm. Even in places like L.A., girls are relying on them for easy layering when the weather gets a little bit chilly. I love regular crew necks, but there’s an element to hoodies that just makes your outfits look 10 times cooler in my opinion. Plus, they just feel cozier, don’t you think?

While the market may have previously had a smaller selection of hoodies, the loungewear boom of 2020 also brought in a variety of cooler and more elevated designs to incorporate into your outfits. If you’re still wanting to add some comfy but cool pieces to your wardrobe, then you’re in luck. Below, I’ve rounded up a variety of options of the “boring” basic for you along with outfit inspiration to help you create your next look.
