Field notes 12 Best trendy hoodies Selected by Designers Supermade Editorial5 September 20269 min read A loose hoodie looks different over a fitted tank and high-rise jeans than it does zipped over a long T-shirt. The first combination shows the waist; the second leaves more fabric around the middle. These twelve Supermade hoodies offer different starting points, with outfits built around their actual cuts, colors and details. In this piece Chunky Zip Boxy Fit Retro Asymmetric Zip Up Cropped Flag Zip Washed Ombré Number Graphic Flame Rhinestone Boxy Fit Camo Letter Graphic Scorpion Striped-Lining Studded Distressed Zip Deconstructed Patchwork Leopard Logo Appliqué Supermade × Mortemartt Multi-Label Sleeveless Zip 1. Chunky Zip Boxy Fit Zip-Up Hoodie Gray, front view. Supermade. The gray version has a short, broad body and dropped shoulders, with a large blue zipper running through an otherwise plain front. The sleeves gather at the wrists, leaving extra room around the upper arms. Wear it open over a fitted white ribbed tank tucked into washed-black wide-leg jeans. White leather sneakers finish the outfit. From the front, the tank shows the shape of the torso between the loose sides of the sweatshirt. The jeans can stay roomy without making the entire outfit equally wide from shoulders to ankles. The fitted underlayer is doing useful work here. A loose T-shirt would hang away from the stomach and fill much of that opening with more fabric. With the tank, you can see where the jeans begin, while the gray sleeves retain their oversized shape. The blue fastening remains the only bright color. 2. Retro Asymmetric Zip Up Deconstructed Hoodie Supermade's photographed combination is straightforward: the apricot hoodie, washed olive trousers with large front pockets, and gray, black and white sneakers. The trousers are broad through the thighs and knees, gathering above the shoes. The sweatshirt ends near the tops of the pockets. Apricot, front view. Supermade. Supermade's photographed outfit. Supermade. Both garments fit loosely, but the shorter top leaves most of the trouser leg exposed. That is the useful part of this outfit to copy. A long sweatshirt covering the pockets would leave less of the trousers visible and put more fabric around the hips. Wear the hoodie closed with olive carpenter trousers and running-style sneakers. Its diagonal zipper crosses the body from one hip toward the neckline, and the darker seam edges remain visible against the pale fabric. There is enough detail in that closed front to wear it over an unprinted T-shirt. 3. Cropped Flag Zip Hoodie Cropped Flag Zip Hoodie. Supermade. Dark denim and burgundy loafers suit the washed-white fabric and red chest stripes. For a skirt outfit, use a high-waisted denim midi with a modest A-line cut. Let the hoodie's ribbing rest over the waistband, leaving the skirt to widen below it. The shape is loose across the shoulders, narrower where the sweatshirt meets the skirt, then wider toward the knees. Denim holds that A-line outline more firmly than a thin jersey skirt would. Burgundy leather repeats the red in the graphic without introducing another bright color. Supermade lists a cropped fit and 100% brushed cotton fleece. The red-and-blue graphic occupies the chest above the pocket, so wearing the front closed keeps most of the design visible together. 4. Washed Ombré Number Graphic Zip Hoodie Off-White, front view. Supermade. The Off-White version has a beige upper body, gray shading around the lower sleeves and a large pale “74” across the chest. Pair it with faded-black denim shorts ending around the knees and gray mesh sneakers. Choose shorts with straight, open legs: their squared-off shape fits the loose sweatshirt better than close-fitting cycling shorts would for this particular outfit. The number and running shoes give the combination a sportswear reference, while the denim keeps it suitable for an ordinary casual outfit. Wear a white crew-neck T-shirt underneath, with the hoodie closed enough to show both digits. 5. Flame Rhinestone Boxy Fit Hoodie Flame Rhinestone Boxy Fit Hoodie. Supermade. For dinner, try this with a straight black satin midi skirt and black ankle boots. The skirt should skim the hips and hang close to the legs, with enough room or a slit for walking. Leave the sweatshirt over its waistband. The broad sleeves give the upper half most of its width. Below them, the straight skirt produces a much narrower outline. Satin also looks different from fleece even when both are black: it shows reflections along its folds, while the sweatshirt has a softer-looking surface. Rhinestones cover the chest lettering, parts of the pocket and the hood opening, with flame outlines running down the sleeves. A plain skirt leaves that decoration concentrated on the sweatshirt. Boots with a close-fitting shaft work beneath a midi hem without pushing the skirt outward. A pointed or almond-shaped toe stays visible below the fabric; there is no need for a high heel. 6. Camo Letter Graphic Distressed Zip-Up Hoodie Camo Letter Graphic Zip-Up Hoodie. Supermade. Light-beige carpenter trousers give this hoodie a practical everyday outfit. Add a white T-shirt and dark-brown suede shoes, wearing the front open. The beige trousers pick up the lighter areas of the camouflage but remain visibly separate from it. Their plain legs also make the outline of the sweatshirt easier to follow. Choose a straight cut with flat thigh pockets; heavily filled or projecting cargo pockets would add more width immediately below the hoodie. The camouflage extends across the cuffs, pocket and waistband, with small red lettering on the chest and sleeve. With these trousers, the pattern stays above the hips and the lower half remains plain. Brown shoes sit close to the darker brown patches in the fabric. 7. Scorpion Embroidered Striped-Lining Button-Up Hoodie Black, front view. Supermade. The large pink buttons give this black hoodie something of a short cardigan's appearance. A zipper provides the fastening; the buttons are decorative. Pink-and-black stripes line the hood, and a small pink scorpion sits on the chest. That front works with a charcoal pleated miniskirt, an ivory T-shirt, black tights and black Mary Janes. The skirt should extend clearly below the sweatshirt so the pleats are visible across the thighs. Black tights and shoes keep the lower half dark, leaving the pink details concentrated around the upper body. Wear the hoodie partly open over the T-shirt. The ivory creates a light patch at the neckline beside the pink buttons. The striped lining will mainly show around the hood opening when worn; it will not appear across the chest as it does in an empty, open product photograph. A flat or low-heeled Mary Jane keeps the footwear small beneath the short skirt, compared with a broad combat boot. 8. Studded Distressed Zip Hoodie Studded Distressed Zip Hoodie. Supermade. Start with a thin black long-sleeved top, washed-gray slim-straight jeans and black lace-up boots. The darker underlayer shows through openings in the hoodie's shoulders and sleeves, making the torn edges visible against the washed red. The garment has holes through several areas of the body and arms, plus metal rings and studs around the hood and pocket borders. An additional zippered pocket sits on one upper sleeve. Closer-fitting jeans give this outfit a different shape from the baggy trouser combinations above. They follow the thighs while the sweatshirt hangs loosely around the torso. Unripped denim also leaves the distressing concentrated on the hoodie. A cream long-sleeved top changes the appearance without changing the jeans or boots. The openings would show pale fabric instead of black, making the red-and-cream combination lighter overall. 9. Retro Deconstructed Patchwork Washed Hoodie Dark gray, front view. Supermade. This has the appearance of a short sweatshirt overlapping a longer one. An upper panel ends across the abdomen, while the pocket section continues beneath it. Pale seam edges outline the panels and curve around the sleeves. Wear the dark-gray version loose over cream straight-leg cotton trousers, with black Derby shoes. The cream gives the lower half a noticeably lighter color, so the sweatshirt's dark bottom edge remains distinct. Smooth trouser fabric also looks different beside the washed, divided surface of the hoodie. A pressed crease and leather shoes make this more suitable for a casual dinner than the same sweatshirt with joggers. The hoodie still hangs loosely through the body; the change comes from the straighter trouser legs and the firmer shape of the shoes. Keep the lower pocket panel outside the waistband. It is part of the layered appearance. 10. Leopard Logo Appliqué Distressed Hoodie The gray version combines black leopard spots around the shoulders with photographic prints across the lower front and red lettering on a sleeve. The center beside the zipper is comparatively pale. Gray, front view. Supermade. Supermade's photographed outfit. Supermade. For an everyday outfit, wear it with faded-blue straight-leg jeans, a plain brown belt and black ankle boots. The denim adds blue without introducing another pattern. Leave the jeans over the boot shafts; the lower leg stays straight, with only the foot of each boot showing. Supermade's styling photographs use a more involved arrangement. Paneled jeans are tucked into tall black boots, with a decorated brown belt and a fur-trimmed hat. The denim gathers above the boot openings. The tall boots change the shape below the knees. They contain the loose denim around the calves and expose a broad black area below the pale jeans. That effect depends on having room inside the shafts; tightly fitted boots and stiff, wide jeans are an awkward combination to reproduce. The simple ankle-boot outfit keeps the same gray, blue, brown and black colors with less fabric gathered around the lower legs. 11. Supermade × Mortemartt Graphic Hooded Jacket — 2279 Gray, front view. Supermade. The gray version has black illustrations and lettering across the front, with tan trim around the hood. Supermade identifies it as a Mortemartt collaboration and specifies faux fur. Wear it over a fitted black scoop-neck top with dark-indigo bootcut jeans and brown suede ankle boots. Leave the front open enough to show the neckline. The exposed area above the top gives the thick hood trim some space around the neck; a high collar or scarf would fill that area with another layer. Jeans fitted through the thighs and widening below the knees give this outfit a closer lower half than baggy denim. The flare falls over the boot shafts, leaving the toes visible. Brown suede repeats the warmer color of the trim, while the dark denim sits between the gray sweatshirt and brown footwear. 12. Distressed Multi-Label Graphic Sleeveless Zip Hoodie Printed label and waffle-knit detail. Supermade. A white long-sleeved jersey top makes the sleeveless shape easy to see. Wear it beneath this dark-gray hoodie with faded-blue straight-leg jeans and black canvas sneakers. The white sleeves emerge from the raw armholes and remain visible down to the wrists. That gives you two clearly separate layers across the shoulders: a dark, printed body over plain white arms. Use a top that fits fairly close through the upper arms so excess sleeve fabric does not bunch at the openings. The hoodie has a small waffle-knit texture, printed label motifs and frayed edges. Its rectangular graphics are prints, rather than separate sewn-on patches. For warmer weather, keep the jeans and sneakers and substitute a white tank. The rough armhole edges will then sit against bare arms, leaving more skin visible at the sides of the chest.
