Cozy Hoodies and Sweatshirts for Chilly Days
The Classic Pullover Hoodie
Maia's signature pullover hoodie gets an upgrade for winter 2026. It's made from a 350 gsm cotton-polyester blend with a brushed fleece interior. I've tested a lot of POD hoodies, and the weight here is a standout. It's thick enough to hold its shape but soft enough that you won't want to take it off.
The front pocket is deeper than most, which means your phone won't slide out when you sit down. The drawcords are flat woven cotton, not cheap plastic-tipped ones. Available in three colors: Washed Black, Storm Grey, and a limited-edition Olive Green.
The Sherpa Zip-Up
If you need something heavier, the Sherpa zip-up is your option. It's an oversized jacket lined with faux sherpa fleece. The exterior is a sturdy canvas material that resists pilling. One detail I appreciate: the zipper is a chunky metal YKK, not plastic. It adds weight and won't break after ten washes.
The design features Maia's "Stay Cozy" mantra embroidered on the sleeve rather than a large print. That means less cracking and fading over time. It's a fan favorite from last year, and it's back this fall with improved stitching around the cuffs.
Pullover vs. Zip-Up: Which to Choose?
- Pullover: Better for lounging and keeping your back warm. No zipper line means smoother layering under a coat.
- Zip-Up: Easier to take on/off without messing up your hair or makeup. More breathable if you're active.
I personally own both. The pullover sees more wear on lazy weekends, but the zip-up is my go-to for morning dog walks.
