A hoodie for days at home

Short answer: For days at home, choose comfort. A light hoodie in a soft quality that you can easily take on and off as the temperature in the room changes is the most practical. With a T-shirt underneath you can adjust through the day.

Light rather than thick

It is usually warmer indoors than outside, and a heavy hoodie quickly gets too warm when you sit still at the table or on the sofa. A light quality gives enough warmth in the morning without becoming too much in the afternoon. See the light qualities in bamboo hoodie for women.

A zip makes it flexible

With a zip you can open up when the sun hits the window and close it again when the evening turns cool. You do not have to pull the whole top over your head to adjust, which helps if you move between desk, kitchen and sofa. A style without a zip looks a little calmer. See the styles in bamboo hoodie for men.

Together with the rest

A T-shirt underneath and a pair of sweatpants is the most worn home outfit. The T-shirt takes sweat and skin contact, so the hoodie can be worn several days in a row. Sweatpants with a soft waistband make long hours of sitting comfortable. See the range in bamboo sweat for men and women.

Soft against the skin all day

A day at home often means many hours in the same piece of clothing. That is why the fabric should still feel soft after a few hours, and the seams should not rub at the neck or wrists. Pay extra attention to the cuffs and the edge of the hood, where the fabric sits close to your skin.

A little looser, but not too big

A hoodie for home can sit a little looser than one you wear out, so you can move freely and fit a T-shirt underneath. It should still fit at the shoulders. If it is too big, the sleeves slide over your hands and get in the way when you cook or type. Choose your usual size rather than a larger one.

The hood in practice

The hood is nice on cold mornings and when you take the rubbish out. On the sofa, however, it can bunch up at the back of your neck against the backrest. That is not a problem for most people, but if you like to lean far back, a style with a thinner hood is more comfortable over time.

For video calls

Many people wear a hoodie for video calls from home. Choose a plain one without a print, so it looks calmer on screen and does not draw attention away from you. Dark and muted colours look best on camera. Close the zip fully or nearly fully, and tuck the cords in so they do not dangle.

Keep it fresh between washes

A hoodie worn over a T-shirt does not need washing every time. Air it overnight on a hanger, ideally by an open window, and it is fresh again the next morning. Then it only needs a wash every third to fifth wear. When you wash it, turn it inside out, close the zip and wash at 40 degrees.

Frequently asked questions

How many hoodies for home are enough

One or two. They are washed less often because there is usually a layer underneath, so two is enough to have one ready while the other is airing or in the wash.

Can you wear a hoodie on video calls

Many people do. Choose a plain style without a print so it looks calmer on screen, and close the zip so it looks neater on camera.

How do you keep it fresh

Air it overnight on a hanger. Then it only needs a wash every third to fifth wear, as long as you wear a T-shirt underneath all day.
