A hoodie is one of the few pieces of clothing that does not ask how old you are. It sits equally well on a student and on a grandparent, and what changes from one person to the next is mostly what is worn around it. This guide takes one hoodie and dresses it twice, once with a twenty year old in mind and once with someone of sixty, then looks at which of our three cuts suits which kind of day.
In short · 5 min read
- The same hoodie can be dressed up or down with the pieces around it.
- At 20, loose trousers, trainers and a bomber suit the relaxed shape.
- At 60, a coat, tailored trousers and leather shoes make it a quiet, smart layer.
- Regular or oversized is a choice of how much room you like.
- Sizes run from XS to 5XL in the regular cuts.

Styled at 20
At twenty the hoodie is often the centre of the outfit. A loose pair of trousers or straight jeans, trainers and a short jacket over the top give it room to be the main piece. The Recycled Blend Unisex Oversized Hoodie is made for this: a relaxed fit, dropped shoulders and 450gsm of warmth for a long day outside. The photograph on the chest does the talking, so the rest can stay simple. For more on that thought, How to Wear an Oversized Graphic Tee goes through proportion in more detail.

Styled at 60
At sixty the same hoodie works as a soft layer. Under a wool coat or a structured jacket it adds colour and comfort without competing, and with tailored trousers, a good belt and leather shoes it looks composed. The regular Organic Unisex Hoodie suits this well, with a shape that follows the body without clinging. A darker colour reads smartest, and the photograph on the chest becomes a small, personal detail rather than a statement.
Choosing a cut
We make the hoodie in three cuts. The Recycled Blend Unisex Hoodie is a regular fit in 280gsm brushed fleece, from XS to 5XL, at €79. The Organic Unisex Hoodie is also regular, in 280gsm fleece with 80% organic cotton and 20% recycled polyester, from XS to 3XL, at €89. The Recycled Blend Unisex Oversized Hoodie is the roomiest at 450gsm, in Black, from XS to 3XL, at €99.

Wearing it your way
The hoodie in the pictures carries the Word Gratitude on the back and the photograph Bubbles and Sky Sticks by ClaraXenia on the chest. Which Word and which photograph feel right is a personal choice, and Clothes That Carry a Word follows how people choose. The styling above is only a starting point, and a hoodie tends to find its own place in a wardrobe after a few weeks of wear.
Seen across several decades, the same piece looks different on each person, and each of them looks at home in it.

A quiet extension of this idea
Our pieces are built around this principle. A single word, placed so it naturally comes back into your attention during the day. Not something you have to focus on the whole day, just something that stays with you.
