See Now, Buy Now: The Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Collection Features Your New Favorite Sweatpants

Best hoodies for men.

In my experience, looking for style staples needn’t be too complicated — or rather, sometimes, you just want a sturdy, reliable, hard-working and yet casual look, perhaps one anchored by one of the best men’s hoodies. It’s a simple sportswear selection made modern when done the right way, as you can see above with the Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Collection at Huckberry.

The classic hoodie has morphed over the years into a piece that can be casually layered and worn in situations far from the gym. For instance, you can team your new Flint and Tinder hoodie with a rugged waxed trucker jacket, underneath a denim jacket or a field coat, or wear it as a trusty, comfortable all-day travel essential.

Huckberry also recommends styling this reliable new hoodie in classic sportswear fashion, as with joggers and canvas sneakers — weekend coffee runs have never looked so stylish, at least in my experience.

Sturdy loopback cotton gets a garment-washed treatment for softness and comfort right out of the box, while the new Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Hoodie boasts a durable, dependable design. Features like a double-layer hood and double-layer cuffs see to that sturdiness, while its kangaroo pouch is a staple found on the best hooded sweatshirts for men.

True to form, the Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Hoodie comes in a range of classic, casual colors, including a sporty shade of heathered grey and even an eye-catching deep green.

While the Flint and Tinder Midweight Terry Hoodie might seem simple on the surface, it’s built with the kind of durable details that make a big difference when it comes to casual sportswear — made for the gym, the open road and well beyond.

The Thursday Buy: Buck Mason’s Wool Hoodie is Your New Laidback Lounge Favorite

Best hooded sweatshirt for men.

As we round into the holiday season, and as you look to round out your own wardrobe of the best style essentials on the market, I’ve found that it’s the simple upgrades that make the biggest difference. That’s especially true even when it comes to the more casual parts of your wardrobe, like the best loungewear or the best hoodies for men.

And as you might expect, making a simple swap to one of the best men’s hoodies, like the Buck Mason Loopback Wool Hooded Sweatshirt, is a touch that can make a big difference if you’re interested in luxurious layering and lounging this season.

For those not familiar with the brand, Buck Mason puts its own premium-yet-rugged spin on Americana classics — my Buck Mason review covers a standout henley, for instance.

And that holds true when it comes to the hooded sweatshirt you reach for on casual days at home, or the one you wear layered beneath your favorite waxed trucker jacket for a casual weekend outing. Quality is of the essence, I’ve found with Buck Mason, and that shines through even in the easygoing nature of this surprisingly luxurious hoodie.

The Buck Mason Loopback Wool Hooded Sweatshirt trades in the typical cotton jersey fabric found on most hoodies (a variety of which Buck Mason also makes) for a super-soft merino wool-and-cashmere blend that just so happens to have an even softer looped merino wool backing.

That means every inch of the Buck Mason Loopback Wool Hooded Sweatshirt is soft and exceptionally comfortable, whether you score one in the Light Oat color shown above, or Charcoal as shown below.

Upgrading to a better hooded sweatshirt like the Buck Mason Loopback Wool Hooded Sweatshirt might seem like an indulgence, but given the fact that this stylish hoodie can be worn out and about on weekends, for holiday travel and at home, it seems like a solid deal in my experience with Buck Mason. To step up your cozy, casual game in fine fashion, the Buck Mason Loopback Wool Hooded Sweatshirt is one heck of a start, my friends.

Style Pick of the Week: Outerknown Hightide Pullover Hoodie – The Best Hoodie for Cool Summer Nights

Outerknown menswear review.

It seems that lately here on the blog, we’ve been talking about pieces you can really use to upgrade a menswear look in terms of both form and function — like one of the best hoodies for summer, for instance.

Sure, during the day, you’re likely sporting something like one of the best T-shirts for men and versatile chino shorts, but when temperatures drop, what sort of piece do you add to your #OOTD?

Best hooded sweatshirt for men.

The answer is simple, and yes, the answer is one of the best men’s hoodies as shown above. And my friends, a company like Outerknown is going to sort you out in fine form when it comes to sustainable, cozy style. You already know the brand (founded by surfing legend Kelly Slater) for crafting one of the best polos for men, not to mention crisply cut, stylish chino shorts — and now, the Outerknown Hightide Pullover Hoodie enters the fray.

This cozy, comfortable hoodie is made from 54 percent organic cotton for an eco-friendly touch, as you’ve come to expect from Outerknown, and the rest comes from recycled polyester for added softness and stretch.

Of course, the Outerknown Hightide Pullover Hoodie boasts an almost towel-like construction for incredible comfort day in and day out, and a brushed interior layers easily over tees, henleys and polo shirts. The hood itself is also two layers for warmth, while the style itself should stand up to plenty of repeat wear.

The next time you find yourself searching for a summer-friendly layer to top off an ensemble, this classically cool hoodie should do the trick — thank Outerknown and Kelly Slater for that one, my friends.

Think of the Free Fly Apparel Bamboo Hoodie as a change of pace that offers protection and functionality on summer adventures aplenty, and let’s go from there. I wrote a Free Fly review covering this essential hoodie, so if you’ve already snagged one, perhaps consider picking it up in another color — or perhaps consider adding it to your wardrobe for the first time ASAP.

Best lightweight hoodie for men to buy now.

That’s because, well, just like your favorite USA-made shirt or everyday carry essentials, it’s now 25 percent off at Huckberry via the lauded Huckberry Sale section. And the Free Fly Apparel Bamboo Hoodie is so well-designed, it just might change your mind entirely when it comes to how you layer up in the sun this summer — for days on the water, for beach strolls, for trail hikes and more.

The durable, eco-friendly nature of the Free Fly Apparel Bamboo Hoodie starts with that performance fabric blend, which just so happens to be a lightweight bamboo viscose blend. That fabric wicks away moisture and offers UPF20+ sun protection.

It also comes complete with a crossover neck for full coverage in the sun, while the streamlined design fits close to your body, yet not so close you can’t wear another layer (say, one of the best merino T-shirts?) beneath it. And what’s even better about the Free Fly Apparel Bamboo Hoodie is the fact that it packs down easily into a beach bag, tote or one of the best weekender bags when not in use.

Heck, the Free Fly Apparel Bamboo Hoodie even boasts a left chest pocket for small everyday carry storage. In a range of light, breezy and neutral colors, it’s a prime seasonal layering move that’ll change how you dress for performance and comfort in the heat.

Huckberry x Trumbull Detroit.

When looking for the best menswear essentials to round out my style rotation on the daily, I tend to look for relatable, reliable pieces (yes, relatable and reliable!) from sources I can trust — this you know well if you’ve read the blog on the regular, and Huckberry certainly qualifies.

The rugged-meets-refined retailer has certainly set a high bar to clear, which is what makes the San Fran and Austin-based brand so impressive in its latest meeting of the minds. My friends, get ready to meet Trumbull Detroit, a new collaboration between Huckberry and lauded menswear designer and expert Aaron Levine.

Huckberry x Trumbull Detroit

If that name sounds familiar, there’s plenty of good reason behind that: Levine was the menswear mind behind Club Monaco, masters of accessible tailoring and sportswear, as well as the resurgence of Abercrombie and Fitch across the past decade.

And now, he’s back at it again, teaming up with Huckberry on Trumbull Detroit, a line of stylish, vintage-inspired sportswear that arrives just in time for early spring. The line focuses on classic Americana styles, including one of the best hoodies for men, a classic crewneck sweatshirt in a vintage wash, a super-soft vintage wash T-shirt and even a casually cool quarter-zip sweater.

The Trumbull Detroit line might seem simple enough on the surface, but it’s packed with some of the best casual style picks for men this spring, particularly for weekend lounging, morning coffee runs, cozy weekends away and, well, the list goes on and on.

Garment-dyed 100 percent USA-grown cotton runs throughout the line, but what’s even more impressive is the fact that Huckberry x Trumbull Detroit is made the old-school way — in the U.S.A., and as the name would imply, in Detroit itself.

Best USA-made hooded sweatshirt for men.

They don’t quite make menswear like this anymore, with a pleasing range of casual, effortlessly cool silhouettes, high-quality fabrication and of course, USA-made construction. That naturally means these pieces are pricier than average ($148 for a Trumbull Detroit hoodie, for instance), but between the soft fleece, durable fabric and made-in-America construction, it’s an investment that should certainly pay off.

When you want the best of the best, with an eye for detail, classic design and that key mix of reliability and relatability, turn now towards Trumbull Detroit and your friends at Huckberry — they won’t let you down.

The Sunday Sale: Save 30 Percent On This Cozy Mott and Bow Hoodie for Fall Weekend Lounging

Mott and Bow hoodie review.

When you know, you just know. That is to say, when a fall weekend dawns crisp and cold, sometimes, the only thing to do is reach for, say, one of the best hoodies for men and then turn up your space heater or rile up a fire. And today, or at least for the rest of the fall, one of the best men’s hoodies is also coming at ya courtesy of the brand that makes your favorite blue jeans: Mott and Bow.

That’s because the Mott and Bow Hooper French Terry Hoodie is now 30 percent off (marked down to $69.90 from $99), and that’s as great a reason as any to add it to your rotation of casual style essentials. I’ve tried out this hoodie on many a crisp fall day in Brooklyn, and I’ve also worn plenty of Mott and Bow men’s jeans over the years (as you can see in my Mott and Bow reviews).

Mott and Bow men's sweatshirts.

And on that note: Allow me to say that this hoodie is the perfect complementary piece to those jeans, made with soft yet durable French Terry fabric that’s just the right weight to wear over one of the best men’s henleys or your go-to Mott and Bow T-shirt. It’s a medium-weight 100 percent cotton French Terry hoodie with sturdy hardware as well.

And while it’s nowhere near as burly as the American Giant Classic Full-Zip, it’s a plenty reliable hoodie — available in classic colors! — for cozy fall and winter weekends at home. That sounds quite ideal, doesn’t it? With a few clicks, this expertly crafted casual hoodie can be yours.

In my neck of the woods I’m staying plenty busy in Brooklyn now that I’ve made the jump into menswear projects and writing full-time — I’ve recently penned some pieces for Maxim.com, about which I’m VERY, very excited! Heck, I was able to feature one of my favorite brands, the esteemed style purveyors at Buck Mason, in my first piece. It doesn’t get any better than that. There’s also more in the works here at the blog. In the coming weeks, I’ll be launching The Shop by The Style Guide, a curated page of easy-to-shop men’s style essentials you’re going to get a kick out of. 

Besides shopping for some men’s style essentials, what else is on your weekend agenda as we close out July?

That means a customary stop by Brooklyn’s Wild East Brewing later today, in fact. In the meantime, you can — and should! — look for my next newsletter dispatch tomorrow via The Style Guide In Brief, plus our customary Saturday Style Pick of the Week.

My friends, we’ve once again reached the end of my weekly men’s style roundup. Before you go, let me give you one last item to ponder heading into the weekend. I’m a huge proponent of finding the best sneakers for men, the kind that work with your lifestyle, and then wearing them as much as possible. I’ve found perhaps no better classic pair of sneakers than the timeless Converse Chuck Taylor 70 Sneakers as sold by Need Supply. Need Supply Co. is, sadly, phasing out its operations, so if you want to get a great deal on sneakers like these, I’d suggest you check ’em out — and read this post ASAP. OK, that’s all for now. Have a great weekend, and thanks again for reading!
