1. Black

There’s a reason that black hoodies never go away. They work with everything, they look good with skate and snowboard gear, and they really let a good graphic do the talking.

Black is the foundation of streetwear for a reason. Whether you’re heading to a hill, walking around town or travelling with one hoodie in your bag, it is hard to go wrong with classic black.

2. Chocolate Brown

Brown has moved well beyond its old reputation as a boring neutral. Rich chocolate and espresso shades are having a strong moment right now, and they work really well with denim, cream, black and faded colors.

For a hoodie, deep brown shades feel relaxed without looking predictable. This color also fits naturally with the earthy, lived-in aesthetic that been part of skate and snowboard culture forever.

3. Burgundy or Maroon

Burgundy and maroon are practically built for fall and winter. These colors have the depth of a neutral, but bring more personality than black, grey or navy.

Rich wine and oxblood shades are getting a lot of attention this season, and burgundy or maroon looks equally at home around a snowboard hill, on a cold-weather road trip or layered under a jacket.

4. Olive Green

Olive has become one of the season's standout colors, showing up across outerwear and everyday fashion.

That makes sense for a hoodie. Olive has a naturally outdoorsy feel, works with almost every denim shade and sits comfortably somewhere between streetwear and utility.

It’s also a natural fit for the crossover between skate, snow and everyday travel style.

5. Cream or White

Not every winter hoodie needs to be dark.

Cream, white and warm off-white provide a welcome counterpoint to fall's deeper palette. A cream hoodie works well with faded denim, darker pants and vintage-inspired graphics.

These colors also give a graphic or logo a completely different look than it gets on black, which matters when the graphic is doing some of the talking.

The Hoodie-Color Summary Cheat Sheet

If you want the essential: go black.

If you want something current but understated: choose chocolate brown.

If you want a little more attitude: try burgundy or maroon.

If you want outdoor-meets-streetwear: olive is the move.

And if you want to break up an otherwise dark winter wardrobe: go cream or white.

Trends come and go. A good hoodie tends to stick around.
