A men's hoodie may seem simple to choose, but small differences determine whether you will enjoy wearing it for months. A hoodie may look loose-fitting in photos, while the sleeves are actually short. A brand name also does not automatically tell you anything about the fabric's thickness, composition or care requirements.
So watch out for these three common pitfalls:
A cotton hoodie often feels natural and is suitable for everyday wear. A cotton-polyester blend can combine shape retention, easy care and durability. The ratio makes a difference: the Tommy Hilfiger CORE TOMMY LOGO HOODY, for example, consists of 72% cotton and 28% polyester.
A men's fleece hoodie has a soft, brushed or warm inner surface. This makes it an interesting choice for cooler days, travelling and layering over a T-shirt. The product information for several Tommy Hilfiger models lists fleece as the material, but the exact composition may vary from one model to another. Always check the product page and care label.
Also pay attention to marketing terms such as “premium”, “sustainable” or “eco-friendly”. According to Calvin Klein's own information, the Micro Logo Repreve Hoodie is made with REPREVE recycled fibres. This is a product feature from the brand description, not a guarantee of a particular lifespan or environmental benefit in every situation.
Choose the fit based on how you want to wear the hoodie:
Some models show European sizes alongside chest measurements. The Tommy Hilfiger size chart, for example, gives a chest measurement of 98–102 cm for size M. Urban Classics uses a different sizing system for certain models. So do not automatically compare an M from one brand with an M from another.
A hoodie with a hood is more versatile when the hood can be adjusted with a drawstring. A hoodie with a kangaroo pocket provides space for small items and keeps your hands warm, but may add extra volume at the front.

A hoodie will generally stay looking good for longer when you follow the instructions on the label. Wash dark colours, such as a men's black hoodie, inside out and with similar colours. Do not use bleach unless permitted. With fleece, drying at a low temperature or air-drying can help protect the fabric and print.
Bear in mind that cotton and cotton blends can shrink or lose their shape when washed at too high a temperature. A hoodie made from heavyweight fabric will also take longer to dry than a lightweight model. Allow enough time for drying and check before buying that the care instructions fit in with your routine.
Start with your chest measurement and compare it with the size chart for the specific model. Also look at the fit: a loose fit is roomier than a regular fit. If you want an oversized effect, check the sleeve and body length as well, rather than simply ordering one size larger.
That depends on the fabric and the model. A fleece hoodie is practical for warm-ups, travelling and light sporting activities. For intense exercise, weight, ventilation and moisture management may be more important. According to the product information, the Nike Team Park 20 Hoodie features Dri-FIT technology; check the current description and care instructions before buying.
Wash the hoodie inside out, use a suitable detergent for dark colours and follow the temperature stated on the label. Avoid excessive use of the tumble dryer when the instructions advise against it. Choosing the right fabric is a good starting point, but careful care also plays a major role in how the garment continues to look.
