FAQ — HUGO & BOSS Sweatshirt (SEO)
Wool or cotton sweatshirt for an evening out?
Merino (BOSS) offers a neater drape and better thermoregulation. A black/navy crew neck works well under a coat or blazer.
Can you wear a hoodie for a dressed-up look?
Yes, opt for a dark HUGO hoodie, without a large logo, with a clean cut, worn under a wool coat with tailored trousers.
Zip-up or crew neck for the office?
The BOSS crew neck is more smart-casual. The full-zip is great for commuting and temperature changes, provided it’s a streamlined version.
What size sweatshirt should you choose?
Most often TTS (true to size). Go up one size for an oversized sweatshirt or if you are wearing a chunky knit underneath.
