Champion Powerblend Hoodie | $38
“How could y’all have a hoodie list without a Champion joint?” is what y’all would’ve said if we weren’t professionals. Of course, we had to include THE hoodie company, the brand that created the concept for the garment that we now rock effortlessly today. Champion is known for its reliable pieces and everyday selections that you can pretty much cop anywhere. Champion has become synonymous with the word “hoodie” ever since it created the first of its kind in the 1930s, producing them for Upstate and Western New Yorkers working in warehouses, according to the New York Times. And now, almost 100 years later, here we are giving you a list of the best joints to rock for those summer fits.
Champion’s Powerblend Hoodie, which will run you $38 bucks, was crafted from medium-weight fleece fabric that is designed to “keep you warm without the weight.” So, you don’t have to worry about overheating or not being warm enough, the warmth will be just right. The affordable is available in grey, white, Black, red, granite heather, and navy and features a two-tone grey color under the hood.

Patta is one of those brands that will always deliver some eye-catching products, whether that be in collaboration with Nike or clothing endeavors by their lonesome. And the Patta Tie Dye Boxy Hooded Sweater is one of them ones. This hoodie may be “out there” and too daring for some people to rock—understandable. But to the people who enjoy wearing statement pieces and playing with color in their outfits, this will be just another Saturday afternoon for you.
The 460 gsm cotton hoodie features an all-over brown and yellow tie-dye design with ribbed wrists and a white drawstring to match the white Patta logo on the chest.

Billionaire Boys Club Classic Hoodie | $160
Billionaire Boys Club speaks for itself. The brand, founded in 2003 by Pharrell Williams and NIGO, is rooted in streetwear sensibilities and thrives on the aesthetic foundations of space, life, and positive affirmations. Two decades into the game, BBC is still churning out ill releases, but its classic pieces have proven themselves to be iconic.
The brand’s classic curve logo hoodie is the epitome of timeless, with a simple cotton garment with a contrasting white logo plastered across the torso. The hoodie is remarkably heavyweight, so it will be too hot for the summertime kickbacks in the day. However, the heavy cotton will be practical during those brisk walks along the beach with your latest situationship or serious relationship—hey, we ain’t judging. And above all else, the brand is just known for a level of flyness and consistency that is difficult to find these days in the streetwear space.
You can purchase the hoodie here for $160 and on sale at SSENSE here.

Jacquemes x Nike Hoodie | $300
The Jacquemus x Nike collaboration was unique. The collection featured a reimagined take on the Nike status quo, from sneakers to purses, sweats, and mock neck shirts. And the hoodie may have been one of the most interesting. Jacquemus x Nike’s hoodie features slashes throughout the garment in the shape of the iconic swoosh, cut from a cotton-blend jersey. The oversized fitting hoodie also emphasizes a dropped-shoulder aesthetic that shows off a more relaxed athleisure look. Both of the drawstrings are conjoined by a golden Nike emblem, giving the workout gear an air of luxury.
So, for the interesting part, some folks saw the slashes on the hoodie and felt like the brands were trying to resale a “bummy” aesthetic in hopes of making it trendy. Other people found that the slashes gave their bodies a more breathable experience. Whichever side you fall on, that’s on you, but if you’re in the demographic that feels this design is great, this may be the perfect hoodie to add to your summer wardrobe.
The brown collection is currently sold out on Nike and Jacquemus’ sites though you can find a red version on Nike.com. However, it can be purchased for an average resale price of $300 on GOAT.com and on StockX.

Stüssy Beach Shell Nylon Hoodie | $185
Stüssy is an all-time streetwear brand that never fails to release some of the most fly pieces year-round. So, it shouldn’t be surprising that the California-based brand made it onto this list with their Beach Shell Wrinkled Nylon Hoodie.
Okay, so, first things first, we know it’s a general rule to avoid Nylon materials in the summertime as you risk trapping funky odors and bacteria in the clothing during those hot months. However, if those months were to have some breezy, chilly, and cold weather, you may have a better shot at getting this piece off.
While it does give “garbage bag but make it fashion,” this $185 garment is actually top-tier quality comprised of Stüssy’s “Majotech” ultra-light recycled nylon with a permanent wrinkle effect. The hoodie also has an adjustable drawcord, with Stüssy’s stock logo located on the left chest. Hate it or love it, but give it a try; you may be surprised at how fly it is.
