The hoodie still remains one of the most useful garments in any man’s wardrobe and it’s also a great way to fend off the cold. There are all kinds of hoodies available these days, so we’ve tried to include a variety of styles in our list of the warmest hoodies for winter.
We all love hoodies for their comfort, anonymity, and versatility and when the weather turns chilly, a decent hoodie is one of the best garments to keep you warm.
Hoodies used to have a bad rep for being oversized and baggy “throw-ons” but things have changed with the latest hoodies fitting better and having bags more style than ever before.

We love the shape of the Carhartt hoodie, which is snug but still allows for plenty of room for movement. The attached hood with adjustable drawstring and rib-knit cuffs allows you to keep the heat in while the front pocket gives you a warm place to rest your hands.
In our opinion, this is the perfect hooded sweatshirt. No matter what the season, you’ll want to wear it. It’s made from a top-quality material that washes well and does not misshape over time.
One thing to note with Carhartt hoodies is that they run a little shorter than other brands so if you’re around the 5’10 mark, you should opt for the tall size.
