When the hoodie and joggers rage began in 2020, I was like huh? I could not understand why my niece was gaga over it. In the hot, humid climate of Lagos, Nigeria she would be donning the thickest hoodie and sweatpants you could imagine, talk about suffering for fashions sake. But alas, I became a humble convert when I saw the unique matching designs that brands were coming up with. Today, I want to share the trendiest hoodies to wear and the funkiest ways to wear them whichever side of the Atlantic you are on.
Play with Color, Detail & Fabric
The African Print Detail
From running errands around the block to meetings, there’s nowhere the hoodie can’t go. When you are picking one to buy, make sure it’s not run of the mill. Add depth by getting a pair with African print detail.
The Multi-color
An easy way to wear lots of color while looking laid-back. Get a multi-colored hoodie and let color deal.
While looking for funkier hoodies, keep in mind that few of these are matching color hoodies, such as one of them is black hoodie with matching pants.
The Velour Fabric
More durable than velvet and no longer confined to upholstery use, velour gives you the luxe look for less. Keep your active wear, red-hot with fine and fluid uber-soft velour from Pretty Garden.
The Patterned Hoodie Set
Take your hoodie to star status with print and pattern. This zebra print hoodie set nicely sets you off on an artistic athleisure dash.
The Zipper Hoodie
I love the zipper hoodie because it can stand in as a nice casual jacket, layered with a T-shirt or a crop-top but still doing the sweats work.
Tips for men & women on styling your matching hoodie and jogger outfit
Head Wraps & Scrunchies
This headband from Gym Wrap will not only wick off sweat and lay your edges but also make you look hot. However, you can’t use a headband alone if you have long hair, you need a scrunchie. The scrunchie is the ultimate hair rescue for all gym girls whether your hair is thin and delicate, medium thick or full thick, there’s a scrunchie that stops the slip.
