How to Care for Your Hoodies and Keep Them in Rotation

A good hoodie is often one of the most-worn pieces in your wardrobe. A little care can help it keep its shape, feel and colour for longer.

Check the care label first

Different fabrics and finishes have different needs, so follow the garment's care instructions before washing.

Wash thoughtfully

When it needs a wash, turn it inside out and wash it with similar colours. This can reduce friction on the outside of the fabric. Follow the temperature and cycle recommended on the care label.

Be mindful of heat

High heat can affect some fabrics, prints and trims. Check the label before tumble drying. When suitable, reshape the hoodie and let it air dry away from harsh direct sunlight.

Store it without stretching it

Consider folding heavier hoodies rather than hanging them for long periods if you are concerned about the shoulders stretching. Keep them somewhere dry and give them room to breathe.

Care is not about keeping clothes untouched. Wear the pieces you love and make them part of your everyday rotation.
