    The difference between women’s sweatshirts and hoodies is mostly in the name. Hoodies are short for hooded sweatshirts, meaning they’re a subset of sweatshirts that have a hood instead of a collar. Women’s hoodies also often feature a kangaroo pocket or pockets on either side like in zip up hoodies.


    That’s about where the differences stop, as women’s hoodies and sweatshirts are often made of the same materials like thick cotton, fleece, or French terry to keep the wearer warm and cozy. Shops on Etsy have a large selection of women’s sweatshirts and hoodies in lots of designs, styles, and fabrics.

    Women’s hoodies and sweatshirts are outfit staples that work well on their own or layered with other wardrobe items, and not just in colder weather. Take a look at some of these fashion tips for wearing hoodies and sweatshirts with other women’s clothing throughout the year:


    • In spring, lightweight hoodies are a great transitional piece as the weather warms up but you still want to be protected against sudden chills.
    • Summertime is perfect for cropped hoodies and sweatshirts, especially when worn to keep yourself breezy while still being cozy.
    • When the leaves begin to turn, layer your favorite sweatshirt or hoodie with a denim or corduroy jacket and a chunky scarf for a cute everyday outfit just as good for the grocery store as the pumpkin patch.
    • In the wintertime when the air gets chilled, break out your sherpa-lined hoodie for ultimate warmth on its own or layered under a heavy jacket to protect against the snow.
