Hoodie and Jogger Set Outfits: 6 Ways to Wear a Matching Sweatsuit
A matching hoodie and joggers is the easiest outfit in your closet: two pieces, zero decisions, and it looks put-together because everything matches. But a good sweatsuit does more than one look. Split it up and the same two pieces give you a gym layer, a travel outfit and a weekend look.
Here are six ways to wear a hoodie and jogger set, plus how it should fit and how to keep the fleece soft.
The quick rules
- A cropped hoodie balances relaxed joggers. Showing a little of your waist keeps a sweatsuit from looking shapeless.
- A tapered, cuffed leg looks sportier and shows off your trainers. A straight leg looks more like trousers.
- One colour head to toe looks deliberate. Hot pink makes a statement; off-white looks clean and soft.
6 hoodie and jogger outfits
1. The full set, zipped up. The classic. Wear the hoodie zipped with the joggers and white trainers, and you're dressed in thirty seconds. Our Hoodie & Jogger Set pairs a cropped zip hoodie with tapered joggers, in hot pink or off-white.
2. Open over a crop top. Unzip the hoodie over a fitted crop tank or a longline sports bra. It's the warmest way to get to the gym, and you can shed the layer once you warm up. Try the Crop Tank Top or the Longline Sports Bra Top.
3. The hoodie over leggings. A cropped hoodie stops at the waist, so it layers over high-waist leggings without bunching. This is the go-to for a class or a walk. Pair it with our Everyday High-Waist Leggings, and see leggings vs joggers for the gym for which to train in.
4. The joggers with a tee. On warmer days, swap the hoodie for an oversized cropped tee. The cropped hem skims the joggers' waistband instead of hanging over it. The Oversized Cropped T-Shirt comes in six colours, and ivory or pink both work with the hot pink joggers.
5. Mix the colours. A hot pink hoodie with off-white joggers (or the reverse) looks playful without trying too hard. Buy the Cropped Zip Hoodie and Joggers with Pockets separately to choose your colours. More ideas in our mismatched sets guide.
6. Under a long coat for travel. For the airport or a cold morning, wear the full set under a long wool coat or a puffer, with clean trainers and a cap or a claw clip. The deep side pockets on the joggers keep your phone handy.
What shoes go with a hoodie and jogger set?
- White trainers: the default, and they look sharp with both colours.
- Chunky trainers: balance the volume of a full sweatsuit.
- Slides with socks: for the coffee run or the school drop-off.
- Low ankle boots: with outfit 6. The cuffed jogger hem should sit just above the boot.
How a matching sweatsuit should fit
A cropped hoodie should end at or just above your natural waist and feel roomy through the shoulders without the sleeves swallowing your hands. The joggers should be comfortable through the hip and thigh, with enough room to sit cross-legged, and the cuff should sit at the ankle without pulling up when you sit. Ours have an elastic waist and come in sizes S to L. For a roomier, slouchier look, size up; there's more on sizing in our size chart.
How to keep the fleece soft
- Wash inside out in cold water, with similar colours. Wash the off-white set on its own or with whites.
- Skip the fabric softener, which can leave fleece flat and less absorbent.
- Air-dry or tumble on low. High heat is what causes pilling and shrinkage.
- Zip the hoodie before washing so the zip doesn't snag the joggers.
Quick answers
Can you wear a sweatsuit out? Yes. Keep the shoes clean, add one smart layer, such as a long coat, and it reads as a choice rather than loungewear.
Should joggers be tight or loose? Relaxed through the hip and thigh, tapering to the ankle. They shouldn't pull across the seat or sag at the knee.
Is a hoodie and jogger set a good gift? It's one of the easiest: cosy, worn constantly and forgiving on size. Ours is $72 for the set (was $92), and it ships free in the US. More ideas in our gift guide under $50.
Is the set cheaper than buying both pieces? Yes. The hoodie is $39 and the joggers are $42 on their own, so the set saves $9.
