A hoodie may seem like a simple purchase, but small differences determine whether you wear it every day or leave it at the back of your wardrobe after a few washes. Thin fabric can be disappointing if you are looking for a warm layer. A roomy fit can work well for streetwear, but become awkward when cycling or exercising. Sizes also vary between brands and models.
This buying guide helps you compare men’s hoodies, women’s hoodies and unisex styles based on verifiable features. That way, you can find a cotton hoodie, fleece hoodie, zip-up hoodie or sporty hoodie that suits how you intend to wear it in the Netherlands.
Fleece refers to the fabric or finish, but not automatically to its thickness. So check whether the product information states the composition or fabric weight. A 330 g/m² hoodie will generally feel different from a lightweight model with no stated fabric weight. A brushed inner side can also affect how it feels to wear.
Also pay attention to the difference between a fleece hoodie and a cotton hoodie. Cotton often feels breathable and natural, while a cotton-polyester blend can offer practical benefits such as retaining its shape and being easier to care for.
An oversized hoodie, relaxed fit or loose fit gives you extra room, but may be longer through the sleeves and body. A regular fit generally offers a more predictable fit. Do not just look at S, M or L; check the size guide for the specific product as well.
For example, the Nike Park 20 Hoodie is listed as fitting large according to the product information. That is more useful than simply relying on your usual size.
A Nike hoodie, Diesel hoodie, Tommy Hilfiger hoodie or Urban Classics hoodie can vary considerably in material, weight and fit. A logo tells you little about the construction. Always check the fibre composition, pockets, cuffs, hood and fastening before buying.
First check the label or the official product information. Here are a few examples from the range:
A higher fabric weight does not automatically mean that a hoodie is more suitable for every situation. It can be relevant if you are looking for a substantial layer for relaxing at home, everyday wear or cold days. For exercise, a lighter hoodie may be more practical.
Look out for these terms:
If you are unsure, measure a hoodie that fits you well. Compare the chest width, total length and sleeve length with the size guide. This helps prevent an oversized hoodie from being unintentionally too large or a sporty hoodie from restricting your freedom of movement.
An adjustable hood is useful when you want to alter the opening. Ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem help maintain the fit at the edges. A kangaroo pocket provides space for small items and can keep your hands warm. A zip-up hoodie is practical when you want to adjust your temperature quickly or wear the hoodie over a T-shirt.
Also check the washing instructions. Product information can vary from one model to another, so always follow the label inside the hoodie. Some models recommend washing at 30 °C, while tumble drying is not advised.

We have put together a complete, up-to-date list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the applicable European safety regulations.
A fleece hoodie has a fleece construction or fleece finish and is often designed as a soft layer. A cotton hoodie is made wholly or partly from cotton. Always check the exact composition, as “fleece” and “cotton” can also be found together in one model.
Measure a hoodie that fits you well and compare the chest, waist and sleeve measurements with the product’s size guide. Look out for terms such as oversized, relaxed fit and loose fit. If a model fits large, as stated for some product listings, a smaller size may be a better choice.
Always follow the care label. Many product descriptions recommend washing at a low temperature. Turn a printed hoodie inside out, do not use bleach if this is advised against, and check whether tumble drying is permitted. This helps reduce unnecessary wear to the fabric, colour and shape.
