Style an oversized hoodie and joggers by choosing one of two balances: wear them together in a single colour as a set, or let the roomy hoodie sit over something closer-fitting, like leggings or fitted shorts. Our Organic Cotton Relaxed Hoodie and Organic Cotton Relaxed Joggers are both listed in Chocolate and Pink Marshmallow, so either approach can start from the same two pieces.
Here are a few ways to wear them, what each listing says about the shape, and how to choose your size.
What makes this an oversized hoodie and relaxed joggers?
The Organic Cotton Relaxed Hoodie description lists heavyweight organic cotton with a soft brushed interior, a structured oversized fit and a dropped shoulder, so the shoulder seam sits lower on the arm. The logo is a textured towel embroidery, which shows in the photographs as arched ANCARTA lettering across the chest.
The Organic Cotton Relaxed Joggers are described in the same heavyweight organic cotton with a brushed interior and a relaxed silhouette. They have an elasticated waistband with an adjustable drawcord, plus rear and side pockets. In their photographs, the legs gather at the ankle.
How do you wear a hoodie and joggers as a matching set?
Wear both pieces in the same colour. One colour from neck to ankle gives an oversized shape a clean, finished line, so the outfit looks chosen rather than thrown on. In our Chocolate photographs, the set is worn with white trainers, which keep the look light.
A few small choices change the feel:
- Push the sleeves up to show your wrists and break up the volume.
- Wear the hood down so it frames the neckline.
- Adjust the drawcord on the joggers so the waistband sits where you like it.
- Add one bag. A tote keeps the outline simple; our notes on organising your tote for a day out cover what to put in it.
Can you wear an oversized hoodie with leggings?
Yes, and it is a simple way to balance the shape: roomy on top, fitted below. The hoodie's description names post-workout layers among its uses, so it can go straight over the leggings you trained in. Let the hem fall loose over the waistband rather than tucking it in.
Flared and fitted leggings give two different finishes under the same hoodie. Our guide to flared or fitted leggings compares the two shapes.
What should you wear under an oversized hoodie?
Anything close-fitting works, because the hoodie does the covering. The sports bra or tank you trained in can stay on underneath; our guide to choosing a sports bra or a tank top can help with that choice.
For a softer base, the Organic Cotton Relaxed Tee is described as lightweight, with a relaxed silhouette and a dropped shoulder, and its listing says it is designed to pair with the Organic Cotton Collection. It is listed in Pink, Coffee, Black and Ocean. On its own with the joggers, it also makes a lighter version of the set.
How do the relaxed shorts fit in?
The Organic Cotton Relaxed Shorts are described with a soft brushed finish and a relaxed fit, with the same elasticated drawcord waistband and rear and side pockets as the joggers. They are listed in Chocolate, Pink Marshmallow, Ocean and Black.
Pair them with a tee for the simplest outfit, or wear the hoodie on top when you'd like a layer above and less length below. Our guide to choosing activewear shorts compares these with our fitted styles.
How do you choose your size?
All four pieces are listed in sizes 2XS to 3XL. The hoodie, joggers and shorts listings each note a 172cm model who is typically a size XS and wears a size S. The tee listing notes a 172cm model who is typically a size S and wears a size S. In other words, the hoodie, joggers and shorts listings describe the model in one size above her usual size, and the tee listing describes her in her usual size.
