A warm fleece hoodie might seem easy to choose at first. But differences in fabric, fit and finish can have a big impact on comfort. A hoodie that looks soft and roomy in the product photo might turn out to be thin, prone to bobbling or difficult to wear with a coat.
For women and men in the Netherlands, there are three common pitfalls to watch out for:
A soft hoodie can be made from cotton, polyester or a blend of the two. Cotton feels natural and is often used in cotton hoodies for everyday wear. Polyester helps the fabric retain its shape and makes it easy to care for. A cotton-polyester blend combines both qualities, although the feel can vary from one garment to another.
Fabric weight is sometimes shown in g/m². This is the weight of the fabric per square metre. A higher figure usually means a heavier, more structured fabric, but it doesn’t necessarily mean the hoodie will be warmer in every situation. For example, one Urban Classics style in this selection weighs 330 g/m², while the Ultra Heavy version is listed at 460 g/m². You’ll notice the difference mainly in the thickness and bulk.
Don’t just look at the size label — S, M or L. Sizing can vary between brands and styles. Check the size guide and look out for these terms:
Women’s and men’s hoodies sometimes have different proportions, but the product information is the best guide. If you want to wear your hoodie over a T-shirt, your usual size may be enough. For an extra layer under a winter coat, a less bulky fit is often more practical.
A fleece hoodie is handy in changeable weather, especially if the hood has an adjustable drawstring. Also check whether the style has a kangaroo pocket, side pockets or no pockets at all.
A zip-up hoodie is easy to put on and take off, and works well as a mid-layer. A style without a zip keeps the front more covered and often has a classic look. A hoodie with a kangaroo pocket gives you room for small items and can help keep your hands warm, but the pocket may be less practical when cycling or exercising.

It depends on the hoodie’s thickness, lining and construction. Fleece is often chosen for its soft feel and insulating properties. Cotton can feel comfortable, but a heavyweight cotton hoodie isn’t the same as a brushed fleece hoodie. Compare the material, fabric weight and fit rather than relying on the product name alone.
Always follow the care label. Turn the hoodie inside out before washing, use a mild detergent and avoid unnecessarily high temperatures. Tumble-drying on a low heat or line drying can help protect the fabric and fit. Care instructions vary by product, so always follow the label.
For layering, choose a regular or loose fit with enough room in the shoulders and sleeves, but consider the thickness too. A zip-up hoodie is easy to wear open under a coat. A heavyweight oversized hoodie has more bulk because of its high fabric weight, so it may not fit as well under a close-fitting coat.
