The weather may be brutal, but you'll be comfy and warm in these stylish hoodies.

A good pullover hoodie is a staple in any wardrobe. It can serve a comfortable addition to your workout gear on a chilly run, a cozy top layer for your recovery days at home, and the perfect cold weather top to throw on with a pair of joggers when you're running errands. While you likely already own a hoodie—if not more than one—there's a good chance that what's in your closet isn't fulfilling all of your needs if you've ended up here.

Luckily, the pullover hoodies we've chosen are a far cry from the gear you wore to track meets in high school. These were designed to be fashionable, sustainable, versatile, and incredibly comfortable. Look below for some of our favorite picks for both men's and women's styles, and some buying advice to help find the pullover hoodie that's just right for you.

Picking the right pullover hoodie is not as simple as choosing the style that most appeals to you—although that is undeniably important. Instead, you will first want to think about the function of your hoodie—when and where do you plan to wear it? It's useful to consider the environments you'll be wearing your pullover hoodie in and the activities you envision doing in it, so instead of buying five mediocre hoodies for different occasions, you can purchase just one that suits multiple needs.

If you plan on mainly lounging around and running errands in your hoodie, you should be fine with one made of a heavier fleece material, but if you're a runner or plan on hitting the gym in it, you will want to opt for a lighter, stretchier material. This will also allow you to use it as a base layer, or a light top layer in warmer months.

The style of hoodie you choose is also important. If you are planning to wear it out often, you may want a silhouette that is more slim and fitted, which will still give you the comfort you seek, but looks more put together than a typical hoodie. Women's hoodies generally tend to have more diversity in terms of style, but for men, sticking with a slightly closer fit can make all the difference.

To find the best options among the many pullover hoodies on the market, we looked at expert-tested reviews from trusted sources like Esquire and O magazine. We then took into account price, materials, design, sizes, and comfort. Finally, we consulted more than 56,000 reviews, written by people who’ve bought these models to settle on these eight.

This hoodie is named the 10-year pullover for a reason—it is made to last for at least 10 years. Made from thick, quality fleece, it is soft, warm, and impressively durable. It's double-lined for extra warmth, and even has longevity in mind in the details, with metal-tipped draw cords and reinforced seams.  

Like Allbirds' famous shoes, this sweatshirt is simple, modern, and super comfortable. The design is classic and understated, allowing you to dress it up or down, and it comes in five neutral colors that go with everything. 

It has a slightly more fitted silhouette, which keeps it from looking sloppy, and the use of organic pima cotton, hemp, and Tencel makes it soft to the touch. 

Super soft and lightweight, this hoodie makes a great three-season layering piece. Since it is so thin and has four-way stretch, it works great as a base layer or gym cover-up— and it's so comfortable that you'll want to wear it even when lounging at home. It also has a closer, more fitted silhouette, so you don't get the bulky look that comes with most sweatshirts.

This Carhartt pullover hoodie is great for lounging at home, exercising, or working outside. Its basic design is ideal for everyday wear, and over 53,000 customers gave it an average of 4.8/5 stars. It comes in nine different colors and has a loose fit, which makes it extra cozy—and easy to layer underneath. If you prefer a snugger fit, though, make sure you size down. 

This hoodie is so soft you won't ever want to take it off. The lightweight design makes it great for running or working out, and it works perfectly as either a base layer or a light top layer that can easily be taken off and tied around your waist. The slightly cropped style is super flattering, hitting the hips at just the right spot. 

It also has four-way stretch, meaning it won't limit your mobility, no matter what activity you're engaged in.

This is a great go-to sweatshirt. It's warm while still being breathable, relaxed without being sloppy, and comes in neutral colors that go with every outfit. It is very size-inclusive, and if you like matching sets, you can get these pants to go with it. This is also an eco-conscious brand, making this the most sustainable sweatshirt on our list. 

There's a certain level of comfort that wearing a loved one's oversized sweatshirt brings, but as comfy as those cozy layers may be, they usually aren't that flattering. This hoodie gives you that same relaxed feel in a prettier package. 

It has dropped shoulders and a wide waist, but it hits perfectly at the hips, and cinches at the wrists. It also comes in 11 different colors and in sizes ranging from XXS to 6X. 

This hoodie comes in three unique neutrals—meaning other than grey, black, and navy—and has a relaxed, but modern look that's great for everyday wear. It has a boxy cut, which allows for layering underneath, but it isn't too thick, which means it fits easily under coats or jackets in colder weather. 

It's also made from 100% cotton, which makes it extra soft. However, that also means it's important to carefully follow the washing instructions or it could shrink.
