Often relegated to loungewear or gymwear, the zipped hoodie is usually underestimated when it comes to the modern wardrobe. But not all zipped hoodies are created equal.
At Pomp, we believe in enjoying the everyday by transforming basics into garments with lasting style impact. Our new Organic Cotton Full Zip Hoodie is a testament to this philosophy. It is a meticulously crafted piece designed not just for comfort, but for genuine versatility and timeless appeal.
Gone are the days when a zip-up felt inherently casual or, dare we say, a little slouchy. With its premium heavyweight organic cotton, the Pomp zipped hoodie is engineered to drape beautifully, hold its shape, and seamlessly integrate into an array of looks.
In this guide, we’ll unpack the art of styling the zipped hoodie, demonstrating how this essential layer can become your go-to for adding texture, warmth, and an understated elegance to almost any ensemble. With a product that is 300GSM, you’re guaranteed a weight befitting sustainable luxury standards.
Look 1: The "Stealth Wealth" Commute
The vibe: Succession (Kendall Roy) meets Modern CEO.
In the world of high-stakes business and modern creatives, the hoodie has arguably replaced the tie but only if it looks expensive. This draws on the "Quiet Luxury" trend, where the focus is on premium materials and neutral palettes rather than flashy logos. It’s the uniform of the person who doesn't need to shout to be heard. Where it differs from the quiet luxury is that people in this category may often choose the formal palette of colours e.g. navy, black and grey.
The outfit formula: Start with a crisp Pomp White Organic Cotton T-shirt tucked into a pair of tailored wool trousers or dark, heavyweight chinos. Layer your Navy or Black Full Zip Hoodie over the top, and finish with loafers or pristine minimalist sneakers.
Why it works: The juxtaposition of formal trousers with casual sportswear creates a dynamic, contemporary look. Because the Pomp hoodie holds its shape, it mimics the silhouette of a casual blazer.

Style tip: Keep the zip open to reveal the quality of the t-shirt underneath, or zip it up to the collarbone for a sleek, "strictly business" silhouette that frames the face.
Look 2: The "Off-Duty Athlete"
The vibe: Elite travel / Private jet luxe / Tarmac style.
This look captures the modern "footballer fits" seen on the timelines of the world's biggest athletes. It moves away from the oversized 90s nostalgia and into sharp, purposeful dressing. It’s the uniform of the professional in transit: expensive, understated, and ready for business. It says, "I’ve just left training, and I’m heading for a city break."
The outfit formula: This look relies on a clean, monochromatic base to let the quality of the basics shine. Start with a crisp, white crew-neck T-shirt tucked into premium technical joggers. Layer your Black Full Zip Hoodie over the top, wearing it unzipped to create vertical lines that streamline the silhouette. Finish with statement luxury trainers and a trucker cap to dial up the "incognito star" energy.
You’ll note that the differences between Look 1 and Look 2 are minimal (or just about visible to the trained eye). Arguably, this is due to social media driving a convergence in style between elite athletes and business elites.
Why it works: It masters the art of "stealth wealth." The black zip hoodie anchors the outfit, providing a sharp, neutral frame against the white tee. It’s functional for changing temperatures (like stepping from a tarmac onto a climate-controlled jet) but looks far more put-together than a standard tracksuit.

Style tip: Accessories are the differentiator here. Elevate the cotton jersey textures of the hoodie by pairing it with luxury goods, such as a watch and/or a weekend bag or holdall. The contrast between the soft hoodie and the structured (vegan) leather is what takes this from "gym wear" to "first class."
Look 3: The Modern Utilitarian
The vibe: The Bear (Carmy Berzatto) / Brooklyn Creative.
While Carmy in The Bear is famous for his white tee, the show revitalised the entire "blue collar chic / workwear" aesthetic. It’s about clothing that looks good while you work with your hands. It’s rugged, durable, and unfussy. This style leans into the durability of our heavyweight cotton.
The outfit formula: Style the Full Zip Hoodie under a heavy workwear jacket—think canvas chore coats, wax jackets, or overshirts. Pair this with raw denim jeans and sturdy boots.
Why it works: This is all about texture. The soft organic cotton of the hoodie contrasts perfectly against rough denim or canvas. It softens the ruggedness of the workwear while adding practical insulation. It’s a look that works as well in a coffee shop as it does in a design studio.
-
Style tip: Don’t be afraid to mix earth tones here. A Surf (green) hoodie under a tan canvas jacket is a classic utilitarian pairing.
Why fabric matters: The certified organic cotton advantage
When styling a basic item, the fabric quality does 90% of the work for you. A polyester-blend hoodie will pill, lose its shape, shed microplastics and look "tired" after a few washes.
Pomp’s commitment to certified organic cotton isn't just an environmental choice; it's a style choice.
-
Texture: The rich texture looks substantial in photos and in person.
-
Longevity: High-quality cotton gets softer with age but maintains its structural integrity, meaning your "stealth wealth" look stays sharp for years, not months.
-
Breathability: Because it’s natural fibre, you can layer it under a trench coat or wool blazer without overheating, allowing you to transition between seasons.
