The times, they are a-changin’; at least when it comes to stylish menswear. Take, for instance, the athletic staple that is the hooded sweatshirt. For our money’s worth, the best men’s hooded sweatshirts can exude both casual style and a bit of bold refinement; there really is a hooded sweatshirt out there for everyone (and at every price point). The best men’s hooded sweatshirts can even be worn a bit like a classic crewneck sweater or a cardigan, so feel free to pair up some of the options below with easygoing pieces like a crisp Oxford shirt and tan chinos. The best men’s hooded sweatshirts — and a whole world of potential new style choices — are yours for the taking.
Express Weekend Vintage Fleece Hoodie – $55
Although better known for work week style staples like slim suits and shirting, Express has done a nice job with the aptly named Weekend Vintage Fleece Hoodie, the type of grab-and-go piece you can throw on over a crisp white tee or an Oxford shirt to blend the casual and the formal.
Frank And Oak Airy Summer Hoodie in Charcoal Heather – $40
A stylish hoodie available for under $40 when on sale? Sign us up. It’s even better that it comes from our stylish neighbors to the north, Canadian-based fashion luminaries Frank And Oak. Wear this with your favorite pair of broken-in denim and high-top sneakers.
Everlane 365 Fleece Hoodie – $65
Everlane continues to slowly but surely take over your wardrobe, and this time, they’re doing it more casually. We appreciate the fall and winter-friendly color of this particular number, along with the quality price and the potential to be worn with everything from jeans to chinos.
Uniqlo Long-Sleeve Hooded Sweatshirt – $30
Want a hoodie that blends a fall-ready color with a very, very agreeable price? You want this number from Uniqlo. It nods to current trends but doesn’t veer too far into full-on fashion territory, no overly loud colors here, and we appreciate that.
Rhone Apparel Nylon Tactel Hoodie – $148
On the other end of the spectrum in terms of affordability and functionality is the Nylon Tactel Hoodie from Rhone Apparel. Made to tackle everything from a morning run to an evening at home, this slim hoodie also happens to be made with sweat-wicking stretch fabric.
Onia Jamie Cashmere Hoodie – $345
If you want to up the ante even further, well, there’s the luxurious Jamie Cashmere Hoodie, a bold and fun hooded sweatshirt that’s truly unlike anything else on the market.
