Classic. Comfortable. Totally transitional.
Hoodies are great for chilling in – but who said they can’t be elevated? We’re always here for a versatile staple that looks great dressed up or down.
We caught up with Lewis Munro to get some inspiration for making hoodies work for you, no matter the season. Lewis is a London-based stylist whose work spans editorial, commercial and celebrity, fusing playful silhouettes and poppy colours. Having worked with publications including GQ Style and Paper Magazine, Lewis is the perfect style expert to show you how to style your Levi’s® hoodie for all occasions.
Are hoodies on-trend?
Hoodies may be super functional when it comes to staying comfy and warm, but they’re also a wardrobe staple that never goes out of style. Whether you want to give your look a streetwear twist with a statement hoodie or layer up in the winter, these versatile pieces are always on trend.
What trousers go well with hoodies?
You already know that hoodies are versatile, so it should be no surprise that they go with almost any bottoms. That includes matching (or not) sweatpants, fitted trousers and tried and true Levi’s® jeans.
Remember to balance the fit of your hoodie with the fit of your bottoms. Play with proportions, styling baggy jeans with a snug or cropped hoodie, or embrace oversizing and pair a loose hoodie with some loose-fitting bottoms.
Should hoodies be tight or loose?
When it comes to hoodies, anything goes. But the fit of your hoodie can change your whole look. Go for a fitted hoodie if you want to layer it under other pieces, or size up for a laidback, oversized look.
Check out our collection of men’s and women’s hoodies to find one that fits your unique style. From classic cuts to cropped and relaxed fits, invest in a high-quality, super-wearable item you’ll love to have in your wardrobe for years.
How do you style hoodies?
There are loads of different directions for hoodie styling. Depending on the fit and colour, your hoodie could be a statement piece or the perfect middle layer over tees and under jackets like bombers and blazers.
Here are some of Lewis’s tips to help you style your hoodie, whether you want to nail comfy fits or work a hoodie into your everyday looks.
Focus on proportions
This one was a straightforward win for those cold winter months. I opted for the
Sherpa hoodie true to size for a more snug cropped fit and paired it with a pair of Silvertab Loose Jeans to play with proportions.
You can also add extra detail by tying the drawstring of the hoodie!

Colourful hoodies
You don’t always have to go overboard with colours. I went for a muted bottom half with a pair of black 501® Original Jeans – a blue Levi’s® Gold Tab™ hoodie and teal green bomber to compliment the hoodie. Clean and simple.
Try on a few colour combos – colours that are similar and don’t feel like they match are often the best combos!
Hoodies and denim jacket
The denim Trucker Jacket is a classic that I add to my rotation nearly every season. It makes a perfect extra layer for those colder months and adds texture to your outfit.
The Trucker Jacket looks great layered with a hoodie underneath or an overcoat on top for those colder months!
