Following on from yesterday’s article about how you can layer up these types of hoodies, I thought it was only right I show you some of the new examples on the market. Clothes are about personal preference so some of you will like the pull over type hoody whilst others will like full zipped versions and the versatility they give you. Either way, there are still some great examples of each type available online so I hope I can show you a wide and varied selection today.
Hopefully the article yesterday will have given you some inspiration as to what looks you want to rock with the pull over hoody so it should make it easier for you to find one that expresses your individuality today. I have split the examples below into true pull over hoodies which have no zip at all and then half open hoodies which may have buttons or zip. I will also try and do high street as well as major brands, so there is something for everyone’s budgets.
So let’s take a look and grab one of these for the winter season.
Pull Over Hoodies
Sweatshirts with hoods on. These are your typical hoody that you throw on without much thought and know it looks good. As long as yours fits correctly and is a quality example, then this will work in any casual outfit no matter what style you are going for.

Zip Through Hoodies
As we pointed out in yesterday’s article, the half zip or button up hoodie is a lot more versatile when it comes to producing refined looks and layering options. You can leave them unzipped fully to show off what you are wearing underneath, or you can open them up just enough at the top to show off a statement accessory like a chain, scarf or tie/bow tie.
Below showcases quite a few options for half zip hoodies this year – thin and plain colour hoodies would be my ideal for layering as they will not add bulk and it means you can really go bold with your surrounding items. However there are some statement hoodies below as well that could be a focal point. Pick your own favourites…

What I have noticed is that there is nowhere near the variety of pull over hoodies in comparison to zip through versions. Looking through multiple websites today (probably around 7 sites total) it was really hard to find a collection that didn’t all look pretty similar and have the same “logo branded” vibe. Don’t get me wrong, there are some good versions above, but I really like to use my hoodies for layering and not on there own as a means to an end. Each to their own though, so let me know in the comments what you think about the subject.

Ben,
My views are that is a piece of clothing that looks good alone and with a leather jacket (hooded or not). I have seen people out in London with both the Hooded Leather jacket and another grey/black/blue hoodie inside the leather hooded jacket and it looks great. Similarly, if you wear the hoodies under a leather jacket with a lower collar like some of the ones from All Ssints the it just looks as impressive.
With a decent Brand Hoodie with full zip you get to show off your range of T shirts i suppose like you said previously and it all about the layering presently i have noticed looking at A/W 2009 and beyond. With a decent quality hoodie you can let it sit open with the full zip undone and it doesnt feel too baggy/untidy.
I am going to invest in this one tomorrow actually from All Saints cos it goes with every jacket and crew neck and even polo T shirts i have…

I tried on others in the Asaints range but they are all very long in the sleeve and too untidy/baddy when u have the zop opened whereas this one in more fitted and looks lush too.
Admittedly i haven’t yet checked out the range of hoodies available this year, but i can’t help but feel you’ve some-what played safe with this selection… even though i wasn’t particularly fond of the elvis jesus examples you posted a few days ago, i think a few more experimental designs wouldn’t have gone a-miss.
I quite like the franklin & marshall hoodie but it’s hardly pushing any fashion boundaries… i do understand the thought pattern behind ‘plain’ designs being extremely versatile, but there’s no reason why you can’t incorporate vibrant colors into your layering.
I usually buy 1/2 hoodies per winter and this zanerobe ‘cayenne red’ zip through was one of my choices last year:

Despite the some-what overwhelming color it is beautifully thin and is brilliant wheather you want to wear it casually or throw it under a leather jacket etc.
pullovers are definitely much better than zip ups because the full zipper doesnt always look right on hoodies.
especially if there is a coll design in the middle of the hoodie. you dont want some silly zipper cutting down the middle of the design!!!!
