When you hear the word "hoodie," a pullover style likely comes to mind. But did you know there are many other variations? We're here to introduce you to as many different hoodie styles as possible.

Whether you're browsing for new looks or planning to create your own collection, standing out is key. Unique designs and creative touches always make an impression.

So, let's jump right in and explore the various hoodie styles—who knows, you might just find your next inspiration!

Pullover Hoodie

The pullover hoodie is a relaxed-fit, hooded sweatshirt that you slip on over your head. It’s typically made from a thicker fabric than a regular sweater, providing extra warmth.

This style is the most popular hoodie option, thanks to its combination of comfort and practicality.

Common features include:

A hood with draw strings
Long sleeves
Kangaroo pocket
Very relaxed fit

Zip Up Hoodie

Zip-up hoodies share similarities with pullover hoodies but come with distinct features.

Unlike pullovers, they have a full-length zipper running from the neckline to the hem, allowing for easy wear and removal. This design also offers versatility—you can wear it open for temperature control or to create a different look. Additionally, zip-up hoodies are often made from lighter fabric for a more breathable feel.

Fitted Hoodie

As the name implies, this hoodie style has a more tailored fit compared to its looser counterpart. Designed for greater mobility, it’s typically made from medium to lightweight fabric for added flexibility.

A zip-up version of the fitted hoodie is also a popular choice.

Color Block Hoodie

Hoodies featuring two or more contrasting colors across different sections are known as color-block hoodies.

These hoodies are created by stitching together fabric panels in different shades, rather than using a single color throughout. This technique results in a bold and eye- catching design.

Color blocking isn’t limited to hoodies—it can be applied to virtually any type of clothing for a unique and stylish look.

Raglan Hoodie

Raglan sleeve hoodies stand out due to their unique sleeve construction. Unlike traditional sleeves that begin at the shoulder, raglan sleeves extend from the collar, covering the shoulder and continuing down to the underarm in one seamless piece.

While some raglan hoodies come in a single color, they are often designed with contrasting shades for a bold and stylish look.

Sleeveless Hoodie

Sleeveless or cut-off hoodies come in various designs, but their defining feature is the absence of sleeves. This allows for greater freedom of movement and better temperature control, making them ideal for active individuals.

Plus, let’s be honest—they have a stylish, edgy appeal!

Cropped Hoodie

The cropped hoodie is a women’s style of sweatshirt, characterized by a shortened hemline that typically sits around the belly button, leaving the midriff exposed.

This cropped design can be incorporated into various hoodie styles, adding a trendy and modern touch.

Oversized Hoodie

Oversized hoodies resemble oversized T-shirts, giving the illusion of wearing a much larger size—a signature streetwear style. However, they are tailored to fit the wearer properly. Key features include drop shoulders and a relaxed, roomy fit.

Athletic Hoodie

Athletic hoodies belong within the genre of performance hoodies. Performance hoodies are intended to provide the wearer with better mobility, regulated temperature control, and increased utility. They are designed for a certain sport, climate, and terrain.

Knitted Hoodie

The fabric is the most distinguishing feature of a knitted hoodie. The fabric may look to have been knitted by hand. It contains thick yarns and flowy weaves, like a cardigan. Knitted hoodies can come in a variety of styles and sizes.

Baja Hoodie

Baja hoodies, which are synonymous with Mexico and surfing, became popular in the 1970s and are currently worn by numerous subcultures. They are fashioned from jerga, a thick and robust wool-like fabric.

The fabric is frequently embellished with distinctive designs. They are immediately identifiable by the horizontal stripes on the sleeves and hood. It also includes vertical stripes down the body of the sweater.

Fur Hoodie

Faux fur hoodies are often comprised of synthetic fibers that resemble real fur. They're intended to be both warm and visually appealing.

Cardigan Hoodie

Hooded cardigans are frequently created with loose knit fabrics. They are vintage and timeless clothing that provide warmth and comfort for all occasions. They are loose-fitting garments that are frequently longer in length and buttoned with huge wooden buttons.

Flannel Hoodie

The button-up flannel hoodie is a popular casual clothing item in North America. They are a typical fitted garment with either a button down or a zip closure. The contrast-colored plaid patterns help them stand out.

Tunic Hoodie

A tunic hoodie comes in a variety of loose and fitted sizes. However, the most distinguishing trait is that it ends between the lower hip and knee area.

Asymmetrical Hoodie

An asymmetrical hoodie is a very stylish garment. Asymmetrical meaning that the garment does not appear equal on both sides of the body. One side is cut higher while the other side is noticeably lower. This make them lines look like they are diagonally cut.
