Best women's hoodies: from designer pullovers, to the best oversized and cropped styles

The humble hoodie has always played a vital role in our colder weather wardrobes. But now, more than ever, can be a viewed as a style statement in its own right.

Over the past few years, as athleisure has taken over the fashion agenda, the line between luxury and sportswear has become more blurred than ever. This has resulted in an explosion in wearable fashion staples where the likes of trainers, puffas and of course, hoodies are now considered par for the course in street style everywhere from New York to Paris.

Trend-led designs, asymmetric cuts and bold colourways have added more intrigue to the once basic design with a crop of iterations in all shapes, cuts, colourways and sizes but always with that ultra-cosy edge.

The versatile piece has endless styling variations, worn under a blazer for that effortless but still professional quality, or simply thrown on with jeans for the sartorial equivalent of a giant hug.

We've gathered our favourites.
