Hoodies have evolved far beyond loungewear to become a key element in streetwear. With the right styling, they can transition from casual basics to modern fashion pieces. We’ll showcase five contemporary ways to style your favorite hoodie, adding a modern, edgy twist to your wardrobe.
How Can I Make My Hoodie Look Stylish?
Transforming a hoodie into a stylish piece is all about the details and how you build the rest of the outfit around it. Start by focusing on the fit—a well-crafted hoodie can enhance your look. Oversized styles create a relaxed street vibe, while a fitted hoodie offers a cleaner, streamlined aesthetic. Layering is another way to add depth and dimension, and accessories like hats, crossbody bags, and sneakers can personalize your outfit.
To give your hoodie a twist, experiment with contrasting textures or layering it under jackets and coats. These simple styling tricks take your favorite hoodie from laid-back to a new level.
5 Modern Hoodie Outfits
1. Casual Everyday Look with Jeans
One of the easiest ways to style a hoodie is by pairing it with jeans for a simple, casual look. This combination strikes the perfect balance between comfort and style, making it ideal for day-to-day wear. For a laid-back vibe, straight-leg or relaxed-fit jeans work seamlessly with an oversized hoodie like our Destroyed Painter Hoodie. If you're aiming for a sharper look, skinny jeans can provide a nice contrast to a looser black hoodie, balancing the overall silhouette.
Complete this outfit with a clean pair of sneakers or low-tops, and you’ve got an effortless street-ready look for any casual outing.
2. Layer with a Jacket for an Edgy Twist
To add some edge to your hoodie outfit, layering it with a jacket is a go-to move. Try combining our Everyday Hoodie with our Paisley Stud Trucker Jacket for an eye-catching look.
Another great option is denim - the rugged texture of denim combined with the softness of the hoodie creates a dynamic, layered look that’s perfect for streetwear. A distressed denim jacket can give the outfit a laid-back, worn-in feel, while a classic jacket keeps things sleek and structured. The wide selection of denim jackets from mnml will give you the perfect pairing for your hoodie, all with the high quality details and workmanship you’ve come to expect.
You can also play with color contrasts here—a light-wash denim jacket over a darker hoodie or a black Fringe Trucker Jacket over a neutral-colored hoodie adds visual interest without overcomplicating the outfit.
3. Sporty Vibe with Sweatpants and Sneakers
For those days when you want to lean into comfort but still look stylish, pair your plain hoodie with sweatpants for a casual, athletic vibe. This combination also works well for creating an all-black sweatpants outfit. This Dual Zipper Hoodie paired with our Rave Double Cargo Sweatpants and a slim tee offers a laid-back energy that’s perfect for everyday wear..
Finish the look with a pair of statement sneakers—chunky trainers or sleek high-tops bring the whole fit together, creating a streetwear-ready outfit that’s equally fashionable and comfortable.
4. Dress Up with a Suit Jacket
A hoodie can also be elevated into a more polished look when paired with a suit jacket like our new Double Breasted Suit Jacket. The contrast between the simple casual hoodie and the formal, structured silhouette of a coat creates a balanced, stylish hoodie outfit.
Keep the rest of the outfit neutral or monochrome, and experiment with different textures to add depth to the overall look. This pairing is ideal for when you need an outfit that’s warm while creating a fresh take.
5. Trendy Look with Cargo Pants
If you’re looking to embrace a more fashion-forward approach, pairing your hoodie with elastic-bottom pants creates a modern silhouette that’s on-trend. These Vintage Cargo Pants work especially well when balanced with an oversized hoodie, creating a striking, comfortable look.
To keep the outfit cohesive, stick with neutral tones or complementary colors. Pair it with chunky white sneakers or boots to ground the outfit, and you’ve got a bold, contemporary look that’s perfect for those who love pushing streetwear boundaries.
