Flint and Tinder 10-Year Pullover Hoodie

If there’s one hoodie on our list of the best men’s hoodies that we’d say you need right now, it’s the Flint and Tinder 10-Year Pullover. As sold by Huckberry, it’s an utterly classic, dependable sweatshirt made for near-daily wear. Particularly in a crisp navy color that goes with everything, it’s the answer to overly loud hoodies you might have worn in high school and college. With its quality construction and timeless fit, it’s even able to be paired up with your favorite Flint and TInder jeans and a classic Oxford on casual Friday.

Outerknown Sur Snap Hoodie

Think of the perfect hoodie to throw on to head to your local park, or your favorite brewery, or the best coffee shop in town — the kind of versatile, anything-goes hoodie that you can wear comfortably and casual with well-worn jeans and a garment-dyed tee. Folks, that hoodie is the Outerknown Sur Snap Hoodie, an exceptionally well-crafted hoodie that’s made from a sustainable blend of hemp and cotton. Does it get any better? Not quite. Great work from one of your favorite brands? Absolutely.

Relwen Superfleece Hoodie

Made from cotton jersey, just like your much-loved college logo sweatshirt, this is a hoodie that’s ready for both the trail and for Netflix binging alike. It’s got a chest pocket that offers unexpected storage space for your everyday carry essentials, too. It’s even finished off with a neck snap closure to keep the wind out on blustery trail hikes this season.

Mack Weldon Ace Full-Zip Hoodie

There are brands that make logo-heavy hoodies, and there are brands that make the type of laidback, smart-casual hooded sweatshirts that you can wear to the gym or on a morning coffee run in equal measure — and Mack Weldon specializes in the second type. Particularly when it comes to the Ace Hooded Sweatshirt, variety and versatility are everything, and from the range of color options to the silky smooth fabric, this hoodie has it in spades. Go casual with a pair of the brand’s tailored sweatpants, or wear it with a merino tee and slim light wash denim.

Fourlaps Rush Hoodie 2.0

Fourlaps excels at delivering the kind of gear that straddles the line between performance-minded and expertly casual, and that’s certainly the case with the Fourlaps Rush Hoodie 2.0. With distinctive red-and-white color accents and a classic navy fabric made from soft French terry, it’s the kind of hoodie meant to power cold-weather workouts or provide inimitable laidback style when you need it the most (a cold winter weekend morning, coffee in hand, comes to mind).

American Giant Classic Full Zip Hoodie

We appreciate the approach taken by American Giant as far as made-in-America craftsmanship goes. It’s an approach that too few brands take, after all, and the results speak for themselves.This is particularly true from the moment you lay eyes on the Classic Full Zip Hoodie, one of the brand’s flagship products (and one of the best men’s hoodies on the market, to boot). Get the Iron color, then wear it with deep blue American Giant denim. 

Lululemon City Sweat Zip Hoodie

As we’ve said before, Lululemon is no longer just the purview of your wife or girlfriend’s workout gear — the brand does a standout job when it comes to delivering the best men’s hoodies and the best men’s workout gear. The City Sweat Zip Hoodie is a fine example of this new approach, what with soft French terry fabric and a fit that works for performance situations or Netflix binges alike.

Those touches include athletic-style cuffs and a ribbed hem, plus warm jersey lining in the hood. The North Face is also offering an array of color options to pick from — simply grab one (or two, or even three) and layer with ease. How to style them? Wear them with hiking pants and boots for an outdoor getaway, or simply layer it up with a denim jacket and black jeans.

Olivers Porter Hoodie

What better way to gear up for your next training session — or your next day spent hanging at home — than with some comfortable, functional Olivers Apparel shorts and of course, one of the brand’s expertly cut hooded sweatshirts? The answer is, perhaps, that there’s no better way to gear up, and that’s exactly how Olivers would like it. The Porter Hoodie absolutely gets it right by using soft, performance-minded 100 percent Australian merino wool, some of the finest fabric on the planet — ideal for one of the best hoodies out there.

The always-timeless hoodie gets an update here as only J. Crew can do it, using slub cotton and a range of versatile colorways to craft a hoodie that looks great with darn near anything.
