The Best Hoodies for Work or Play

You might not know anything about the Apple Vision Pro, but you probably have at least seen the picture of Cool Hunting founder Josh Rubin wearing an Eyn Vas hoodie while testing it. That’s because it’s how most of us—and by us, we’re including you—look most of the time (or want to look, anyway). A hooded sweatshirt can be a statement piece, but you’re also probably wearing one over your pajamas, while working out at the gym, or pulled over your head on a long flight. Most of us keep our hoodies around for years. There are so many different fabrics, cuts, price points, and styles, that you can never have enough hoodies in your closet.

Do you find yourself overwhelmed? Is it mentally and emotionally difficult to replace the threadbare one in your closet right now? We’re here to help make it easier. The Gear team waded through a ton of hoodies—OK, it wasn’t hard—and picked our favorites at every activity and price point you can imagine. Need to complete the look? Check out the rest of our buying guides, including the Best Barefoot Shoes and the Best Merino Wool Clothes.
