Women's hooded sweatshirts for workout wear
Starting at £76.06

The women's hoodie is the top piece of the tracksuit: zip-up to adjust for temperature, with a kangaroo pocket, plain or patterned, in fleece or organic cotton. It goes well with joggers or can be worn with jeans. Among the brands available are: Colorful Standard, Ragwear, Guess, Project X Paris, Superdry, and Armedangels.
A plain hoodie in thick fleece remains the most versatile piece.
Zipped or Pullover Hoodie?
The women's hoodie with a zip opens and closes according to the temperature, like a light jacket: convenient for sports and commuting. The pullover hoodie, with a kangaroo pocket, is warmer and cosier.
How to match a hoodie and joggers?
A matching set in the same colour and fabric makes for a neat outfit. To mix it up, stick to a similar colour family: a beige hoodie with brown joggers, a grey-marle hoodie with black joggers. White women's sneakers complete the look.
What fabric for a hoodie?
Brushed fleece is the softest and warmest; loopback fleece is lighter. Organic cotton, grown without synthetic pesticides, maintains the same comfort. A high gram weight, when indicated, results in a thicker hoodie that drapes better.
What size hoodie should I choose?
Your usual size for a fitted hoodie; one or two sizes up for an oversized look. Check the sleeve length and the depth of the hood.
How to care for a hoodie?
Wash inside out, zip closed, at 30°C. Avoid tumble drying, as it can pill and shrink the cotton; a lint remover will get rid of any existing pills.
Which hoodie brands to choose?
These hoodie brands are often recommended.

When to find hoodies at reduced prices?
The tracksuit hoodie can be worn with matching joggers or alone over jeans. For a hoodie on sale, Black Friday and winter sales usually coincide with peak wearing times; summer sales are out of season.
The tracksuits of Black Friday gather the November deals; the women's clothing sales show seasonal markdowns; the Promotions page lists discounted items between both. Fast shipping and guaranteed best price.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to prevent the hood from sagging?
A lined hood holds its shape better. Dry the hoodie flat, reshaping the hood, instead of hanging it by the hood.
Can a hoodie be worn under a coat?
Yes, with the hood over the collar of a coat or denim jacket. The sport meets city contrast has become a classic.
How to remove a stain from a hoodie?
Dab the stain with cold water and Marseille soap before washing. Avoid hot water, which can set certain stains.
Hoodie or hooded sweatshirt: what's the difference?
No difference: hoodie is the English word for a hooded sweatshirt, whether pullover or zipped. Both terms are used interchangeably in France.
How to keep a hoodie soft?
Wash it without fabric softener, which clogs the fibres, using a bit of white vinegar in the rinse. Avoid the tumble dryer.
