The Swiss style: What makes women's hoodies special

In Switzerland, value is placed on fashion that is both practical and stylish. Quality, precision, and a certain minimalism often characterize the wardrobe. How does the hoodie, often perceived as casual, fit into this image? The answer lies in the selection of high-quality materials and thoughtful combinations.

Color and material preferences for women's hoodies

Timeless neutral colors form the basis of many Swiss wardrobes. A women's hoodie in black, gray, or navy blue can be combined in endless ways and exudes a calm elegance. A warm beige tone is also very popular and looks particularly sophisticated and modern.

For seasonal accents in fall and winter, deeper tones like burgundy, pine green, or rich dark gray are suitable. These colors add warmth and depth without being overpowering. Comfort and durability are emphasized when choosing materials. High-quality cotton, often organic, is popular for its breathability and pleasant feel. For the colder months, denser fabrics (heavyweight) or those with a fleece interior are in demand to provide sufficient warmth. A blend of polyester can increase shape stability and ease of care, which is advantageous in the active Swiss lifestyle.

Big Style Guide for Women's Hoodies

From a leisurely Sunday stroll to an after-work drink, discover the styling variety of women's hoodies for everyday Swiss life.

Casual styling: everyday looks with jeans & co.

The hoodie is the king of casual style. Combine it for relaxed everyday looks that still appear sophisticated:

With leggings or skinny jeans

It's especially great with oversized hoodies to create a balanced silhouette. This look is ideal for relaxed days, running errands, or just a stroll. Pair it with comfortable sneakers or sturdy boots.

With straight leg or mom jeans

A modern look that works well with slightly cropped or fitted hoodies. A classic pullover hoodie can also look good here, perhaps tucked slightly into the waistband (French tuck) to accentuate the waist.

With joggers

For ultimate comfort, look for high-quality joggers made from a sturdier fabric for a polished athleisure look. This is perfect for working from home or relaxed weekend activities.

As a dress

A long, oversized hoodie can also be worn solo as a dress on warmer days or at home. For a more everyday look, layer it with cycling shorts or opaque tights underneath.

Elevated Styles: Combine hoodies stylishly

Who says hoodies can't be elegant? With the right tricks, your favorite hoodie will be a real eye-catcher at smart casual events or even at the office, if the dress code allows it:

Under the blazer

A simple, well-fitting hoodie (ideally in gray, black, or navy) under a tailored blazer makes a fashion statement. Make sure the hoodie isn't too bulky to maintain a clean silhouette.

With trousers

Pair your hoodie with wide-leg trousers, culottes, or elegant pleated trousers for an exciting contrast between casual and formal. The hoodie should be more fitted or made of a finer material.

With skirts

A finer hoodie can also be worn with a midi skirt (e.g., pleated or satin). Tuck the hoodie in slightly at the front or choose a shorter style to accentuate the waist and create a feminine silhouette.

Under the coat

A high-quality hoodie under a classic wool coat or trench coat looks very stylish in winter and fall and also keeps you warm. Make sure the color scheme of the hoodie and coat matches harmoniously.

Seasonal styling tips for the Swiss climate

The Swiss weather demands flexibility. Here are styling ideas for every season so you can always wear your hoodie appropriately:

Spring

Opt for lighter to medium-weight hoodies (e.g., 300 to 400 GSM) made of cotton. Perfect for layering with denim jackets, lightweight blousons, or trench coats. Colors can be fresher, think pastels, light gray, beige, or delicate prints. A zip-up hoodie is especially practical for changeable spring days.

Summer

Even in summer, there are cool evenings or days in the mountains. Thinner hoodies made of jersey, linen blends, or lightweight cotton are ideal with shorts, airy skirts, or over a summer dress. Cropped hoodies are a fashionable choice. Light colors, white, or nautical stripes work well and have a fresh look.

Autumn

It's time for cozy hoodies (400+ GSM) in warm autumn colors like rust red, mustard yellow, olive green, or classic gray and beige. Ideal under leather jackets, parkas, or light wool coats. Combined with boots, hats, and scarves, the look is perfect for the golden season.

winter

Now's the time for warmth and comfort. Heavyweight hoodies are essential! Our double-layered models with 800+ GSM, in particular, offer excellent warmth and a luxurious feel. They're the perfect mid-layer under thick wool coats or down jackets. Dark, rich colors and high-quality, dense materials are now ideal for braving the cold in style.

Different hoodie types and their styling potential

Choose the hoodie type that best suits your style and needs to take full advantage of its versatility:

Pullover Hoodies

A timeless all-rounder. Ideal for layering or as a standalone statement piece. Works casually with jeans or as a contrasting piece with more chic bottoms. A must-have in every wardrobe, as it offers a clean, uninterrupted front that often appears more minimalist.

Zip-up hoodies

Maximum flexibility thanks to the zipper. Perfect for layering and quick adaptation to changing temperatures. Can be worn open over a top or closed as a sweater replacement. Ideal for sporting activities or travel.

Oversized hoodies

Offer ultimate comfort and a cool streetwear vibe. Best paired with slim-fitting bottoms (leggings, skinny jeans) to balance the proportions and create a flattering silhouette. Discover more in our Oversized Hoodie Guide !

Cropped hoodies

A fashionable eye-catcher that accentuates the waist. Pairs perfectly with high-waisted jeans, skirts, or trousers for a young, trendy look. Ideal for warmer days or as a layering piece over a longer top.

Graphic Hoodies

Ideal for showing off your personality. Whether it's a band logo, an artistic print, or a statement saying, pair them with simple basics to let the print shine. A great piece to add a focal point to a minimalist outfit.

Fitted Hoodies

They offer a defined, slimmer silhouette. Perfect for layering under fitted jackets or for an overall cleaner, more streamlined look. They're ideal when the hoodie isn't supposed to be the focal point of the outfit, but rather serve as a functional layer.

Cowl Neck Hoodies (waterfall collar)

The elegantly draped collar lends a special, often more feminine touch. They often look best with narrow bottoms to balance the proportions and draw attention to the interesting collar.
