Sweaters is the ultimate cozy season essential. When the weather turns colder, there’s nothing more comforting than curling up in an oversized hoodie. But not all hoodies are created equal – some give off that effortless cool-girl look, while others can seem a little frumpy or worn after years of wear. After watching countless TikTok videos on “hoodies that hoodie,” I realized what makes a hoodie look flattering, and that Lululemon Scuba Oversized Half Zip Hoodie ($118) has all these features and more.

The Scuba Oversized Half Zip Hoodie is a bestseller that is as viral as the brand famous Align leggings. As a fan of Lululemon’s offerings, including its matching set and cute waist bagi knew this hoodie would live up to the hype.

In the future, you can read what makes the Scuba Oversized Half Zip Hoodie so special and worth buying.

What I like about the Lululemon Scuba Oversized Half Zip Hoodie:

For starters, it’s perfectly oversized with a silhouette that’s not too short or too long. I’m 5’1″, and the hoodie hits me right at the hips, but the ribbed hem doesn’t taper, so it never rides up in the middle. This little detail makes all the difference between a flattering put-together look and an awkward fit. It fits well with leggings, sweatpants, jeans and even training dresses and skirts.

The Scuba Oversized Half Zip Hoodie is made from a thick, cotton-based blend. It is both naturally insulating and breathable. It’s the only hoodie I travel with because it keeps me warm on AC blasted flights but doesn’t make me feel stuffy. The inside of the hoodie has a soft, fleece-like feel that is gentle on the skin.

It also has a giant kangaroo pocket which is perfect for storing my wallet, keys, lip balm and phone when I need to run a quick errand. The thumbholes also give this hoodie an extra cozy feel. I use them all the time when I want to cocoon myself and feel extra warm.

However, one feature continues to impress me the most: the elastic zipper with zipper doubles as a hair tie. There are countless times I take advantage of it because the hair band is so easy to remove — just untie it at the knot and pull it out of the zipper hole.

Although the shirt is quite expensive for loungewear, I haven’t noticed a single bit of wear and tear, and it’s already been washed at least five or six times.

What’s worth noting about the Lululemon Scuba Oversized Half Zip Hoodie:

The weight of the hood causes the front of the hoodie to ride up in the front. I have to pull the front back down several times during the day, especially if the zipper is open, which is a minor inconvenience. However, it does not go up if the zipper is completely closed.

The kangaroo pocket also has an interior hidden phone case, but I don’t use it because my phone is too big.

As someone with medium-thick hair, I can only wrap the headband around my hair twice, so it’s not super secure for, say, a HIIT workout or a slicked-back pony.

Who does the Lululemon Scuba Oversized Half Zip Hoodie suit best?

If you live in hoodies and sweatshirts like I do, then the Scuba Oversized Half Zip Hoodie is for you. It’s a versatile loungewear piece that makes you feel put together, even if you’re not making an effort. It’s great if you’re a student on your way to class, a young professional working from home, a multitasker running errands, or someone who needs a comfortable travel outfit.
