Choosing the right oversized hoodie
Both men's oversized hoodies and women's oversized hoodies differ in their fabric weights, colours and designs. The way you style it all depends on the hoodie. If you prefer a minimalist look, then you're best opting for a blank hoodie in a neutral colour such as black, white or grey.

Be aware that all of our recommendations in this article also apply for oversized sweaters.
Choosing the right legwear
When looking to style an oversized hoodie, one of the main factors you must understand is that it will change your overall silhouette. Oversized and slouchy fits can make you look slightly shorter, so if this is something that you are conscious of, then choosing the right pair of pants is essential. By all means, an oversized hoodie with baggy jeans can look good, but just be aware that if you're smaller in stature or have a wider frame, it may make you look quite bulky. To avoid this, pair with some straight leg jeans, tailored pants, or 247 pants for a more streamlined overall silhouette.
Layer Up
Layering is an excellent way to add depth and texture to your outfit, with different colours and fabrics. Pairing your oversized hoodie with a denim jacket is a great way of structuring your fit for a more put-together look. Alternatively, layering with a puffer gilet is an excellent look which pulls in the shape of the hoodie to be more consistent throughout the body, whilst maintaining the overall oversized look.
