I need a new hoodie

Hi,

I’m on the lookout for a new hoodie to be around the house. I’d like it something nice rather than the old thing I’m wearing at the moment, given that I’m going to be indoors most of the time for the next few months! Can you recommend anything? I have winter colouring if that helps. Thanks!

I forgot to say, ideally I'd prefer a zipped hoodie. Thanks!

Would you need a hoodie with the warmer weather? Do check, because some places that are still selling clothes, wont accept returns. Debehams have gone in liquidation I believe.

Maybe check asda or argos/Sainsburys websites. Next and many others are no longer open.

Uniqlo. Free delivery over £20 and a very nice selection of everything. All sorts of colours. I've got about 5 of their hoodies. I'm a size 12 and take a medium.

I didn't know about Debenhams! My god, that's awful.

Will have a look at Uniqlo and the supermarket stores, thanks.

H&M men's ones are cheap but decent quality (much warmer than the women's ones).

I’ve seen a brand called Rapnui online. Can’t vouch for them but seemed ok prices and colours, no lairy logos.

BayandBlonde · 05/04/2020 12:19

I love my Holland Cooper hoodies 😁

bonzo77 · 05/04/2020 12:19

What’s the budget? Superdry are quite nice. And I got a gorgeous Lululemon one, but even in the sale was £50, wouldn’t have got if full price.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 05/04/2020 13:14

I've been looking for one for months and can't find a nice one. The ones in the right colours are either covered in logos, or polyester. :(

TR888 · 06/04/2020 07:21

Hi! I likesome Superdry stuff, but find their big logos off putting. I've bought a few items with tiny, discreet logos which are quite nice, but their hoodies all have the brand name in big letters across the chest and I find that tacky.

I love that Sweaty Betty top - but £120! It's way out of my budget, unfortunately.

We like the mens ones from h&m too.
And skate brands like vans
Or Rapuni?

Jack Wills have a sale on at the moment plus a further 20% discount code, they have lots of hoodies.
Alternatively, St Berts Clothing is nice if you like retro style designs

BonusMamaJ · 06/04/2020 19:06

My favourite hoodie is from H&M
I have a longline 3/4 sleeve one which is lighter and a men's cowl next which is heavier both wash and wear great.

LellyMcKelly · 06/04/2020 22:43

Jack Wills and Hollister do really long lasting good quality hoodies.

ThursdayLastWeek · 06/04/2020 22:46

I always look in surfdome for stuff like that, but I haven’t checked if they’re still active right now sorry

HostessTrolley · 07/04/2020 12:14

Levi’s do quite nice hoodies and they’ve got some in the sale

CrispyDorothy · 07/04/2020 15:52

Saltrock and uniqlo are always my first stops for basics like this.

I have a size large holister hoodie which I love (normally wear a size 10/12). I love that the sleeves go down to the back of my hands, so that they don't ride up when I move around/stretch. A lot of hoodies have arms that cut off at the wrist, which then ride up. There's also a generous hood which fits over a ponytail/bun without strangling my face. It's perfect!

Rumtopf · 07/04/2020 16:58

I've just picked up a couple of nice hoodies from Saltrock. Their clothes wash and wear really well and don't have awful huge logos like some branded ones do.

Itsjustthesame · 07/04/2020 17:03

Depends on your taste but I like Elsies attic (the plain ones not the ones with stupid shit about gin). Really nice “heavy” feeling and like the neck .

Just come back on to say I got a really nice sweatshirt from Hush a few years ago. Really great quality and warm too.

I wear the jumpers from Victoria's secret 'sport'. I have lots that zip up, wash well and last for ages. No huge logos, some are plain and some have a small logo.

If anyone spots a bum covering long hoodie that I could wear over leggings and a vest top, Would you mind linking it here please?
I'm living in leggings right now and I'd like something to throw on to go out for a walk.
