I’m not sure if it was the fact that I grew up in the Midwest, or that I have always had a tomboyish vibe, but I’ve been a hoodie girl for as long as I can remember. Zip-up hoodies, graphic hoodies, basic hoodies, I’m a fan of every single one.
If you’re wondering what my latest hoodie obsession is, it’s hands down this crystal number from Good American. It’s giving me all the bling bling vibes but is still a hoodie. & the best part… there are matching sweats! If you like to keep it a little more simple, this zip-up from Aritzia is another one of my favorites.
The Best Hoodies For Plus-Size Babes
One of the things I have always loved about hoodies, is that they tend to run oversized, which means there are a wide selection of straight-sized hoodies that will work for plus-size babes! I’ve got several hoodies from Acne Studios and the Mayfair Group that fit me like a glove that you guessed it…are not plus size.
Let’s get into this roundup of cool af hoodies that will work for plus-size babes!
1. Good American Crystal Hoodie
Does it get more chic than a crystal hoodie?! I think not! This Good American hoodie gives me all the cool girl vibes and I am in love with the oversized drape and the crystal embellishment. This one is slightly cropped and it’s a seriously stunning hoodie. Oh & ps. if you are looking to drip head-to-toe in crystal loungewear, then you need the matching pants!
Size Note: For reference, GA offers sizes XS-5X and I personally wear a 2X in tops and a 3X in bottoms.
2. JUNGLES Embroidered Hoodie
If there were ever a hoodie to give me all the nostalgic memories of doodling in my notebook during class, it would be this embroidered hoodie from JUNGLES. It’s made of a soft cotton material and I personally am a big fan of the worn-in look that the dye technique gives.
Size Note: JUNGLES hoodies are available in sizes XS-XXL & I am waiting on the XXL to arrive to my casa.
3. Jordan Sport Hoodie
Every time I peek at this sporty Jordan hoodie, I immediately think of the OG romcom Love & Basketball. Sanaa Lathan made sweats and hoodies feel sexy, and her unapologetic tomboy style made her even more badass. The Jordan sport hoodie is an oversized loose and relaxed fit and I love the striking orange color.
Size Note: This hoodie is available in sizes XS-XXL.
4. Nike Oversized Hoodie
One thing about me, I am a sucker for an all-neutral outfit. Especially in the winter. Which is why I gravitated towards this oversized Nike hoodie that comes in a very elegant creme color, yet its ultra-oversized fit still gives that streetwear vibe.
Styling Note: I personally would style this with cream colored sweats, low profile sneakers and an oversized trench.
5. The Mayfair Group Hoodie
The Mayfair Group said it best, “It costs zero dollars to be a nice person” & I couldn’t agree more. What I love about Mayfair Group’s collection is that they design pieces with uplifting, feel-good messaging. I always feel like my day is a little brighter every time I wear these sweaters. You can find the best selection of Mayfair Group pieces at Nordstrom.
Size Note: I wear an XXL in their collection of hoodies and crewnecks.
6. Sporty & Rich Hoodie
Of all the loungewear and athletic brands I regularly wear, Sporty & Rich is definitely the most posh of them all. I am obsessed with this brand, and have several hoodies and accessories that I wear on heavy rotation. Their flagship store in NYC is seriously so cool and has a spa and juice bar for you to get your full wellness fix.
Size Note: For sizing references, I wear an XL.
7. Aritzia Boyfriend Zip Hoodie
Oh Aritzia, I love you. Elevated basics are my absolute favorite, and Aritzia is one of my regular go-to’s for high-quality staples at a mid-price point. The entire design of the store gives me all the clean girl aesthetic feels, and I personally am obsessed with the fabrics and colorways that they offer.
Size Note: This is the best elevated basic zip hoodie for plus-size babes…I wear the XXL and this zip hoodie comes in 36 different colors.
I don’t know about you all, but I am seriously excited to wear all the cozy & chic hoodies this winter!
