Top Hoodies for the Autumn

Thanks to the explosion of Olympic fever this year, sportswear has never been more in fashion and the hoody ranks as the number one must have sportswear item for anyone in the know this season.
For Autumn 2012 the brands are back, with the top styles reflecting the extreme sports scene that is growing in popularity year on year, we take a look at some of the best hoodies out there for this Autumn.

The Adidas brand is still holding the number one slot. With the traditional full zip front and instantly recognisable branding showcased on almost every design, opt for a fleece material that is going to keep you warm but looking great.

Take a look at the Adidas Originals Flock Hoody from JD Sports which encorporates the iconic three stripes down the arms and the Adidas Originals logo.

Two tone designs such as the Sport Zip Hoody from Adidas has retro stamped all over it.

An up and coming brand that shouldn’t be taken lightly is Duffer of St George. Their range of hoodies looks just as great out on the town as it does on the pitch. Coordinate with jeans, trackies or shorts, and you have a style that will combat the cold and keep you looking hot. Try the New Standard Chenile Hoody with its bright blue hood and bold logo.

Ladies’ Hoodies

For the ladies out there, the name on everyone’s lips has to still be the Nike brand which reigns supreme when it comes to women’s hoodies. They provide a feminine touch to the active look thanks to a fitted design this season. This ensures that you are not swamped by your clothes and you can gladly wave good bye to big and baggy and welcome tailored and slim for Autumn 2012!

A more casual alternative to the sporty hoody is to opt for sensational colours which Converse and Brookhaven provide in their ranges of full zip styles that look great with skinny jeans. Keep the look fresh and relaxed with coordinating trainers or high tops for a retro vibe. Try the Brookhaven Holly Hoody in shades of mint, rose or ice blue for a feminine twist or opt for the Converse Chuck Patch Hoody in purple for modern retro.
