Let me just say this up front: I’m not the kind of person who usually gets excited about clothes. I wear what’s comfortable, what fits, and if it happens to look decent, cool. But a few months ago, I picked up something that completely changed how I think about everyday outfits — the Essentials Hoodie.
I didn’t plan on buying it, honestly. I was just scrolling late at night (you know how that goes), saw a clean-looking hoodie, and figured, sure, why not. The price wasn’t cheap, but not ridiculous either. It looked cozy. I didn’t think much of it.
Then it showed up. And yeah… I got it.
First Thing I Noticed: The Weight
Have you ever picked something up and it just feels better than the others? That’s what this was like when I held Essentials Hoodie. Not heavy in a bad way — more like, you can tell it’s not going to fall apart after two washes. It had this soft but solid texture, kind of like your favorite blanket if it had street style.
I put it on and immediately thought: “Okay. This isn’t just another hoodie.”
Fit, Feel, and the Little Things
What really got me was the fit. It’s oversized — like, intentionally. The sleeves drop just a bit lower than your standard hoodie. The body is roomy, but not baggy. It doesn’t cling, but it doesn’t swallow you whole either. It’s hard to explain unless you’ve worn one.
The inside is fleecy. But not that fake-fleece that pills up after a few wears — this felt thick, warm, real. I wore it the first night it arrived, just to run to the store, and I think three people glanced at it like they wanted to ask where I got it. No wild logos, just the clean “ESSENTIALS” on the back.
Simple. Clean. Not loud. That’s what I like.

Then Came the Essentials Tracksuit
After a few weeks of basically living in the hoodie, I figured, “If the bottoms are half as good as this, I’m set.” So I grabbed the Essentials Tracksuit joggers in the same color.
No lie — they might be better than the hoodie. Soft. Structured. They’ve got that thick waistband that doesn’t fold or twist. And they taper at the ankle just right, so you’re not dragging anything around or looking sloppy.
Put the two together, and you’ve got a set that looks way more put-together than it has any right to be.
This Set Isn’t for Flexing — It’s for Living
I know some people buy this stuff because it’s “Fear of God” or because they saw it on someone with a million followers. That’s not me. I didn’t even realize it was a whole fashion line at first. I just liked how it looked — plain and simple.
And honestly? That’s the whole vibe. It doesn’t scream for attention. But it gets it. Quiet confidence, I guess.
I’ve worn this hoodie (and the joggers) to the grocery store, to the airport, on road trips, on lazy weekends, and once — not proud of this — to a casual dinner. I’ve napped in it. I’ve answered the door in it. I’ve definitely worn it more than anything else I own this year.
Is It Worth It?
Here’s the real talk: it’s not cheap. You’re not buying a $25 hoodie off the rack. But after wearing it for months, I’d buy it again in a heartbeat. It’s lasted. No weird stretching. No color fade. No loose threads. It still feels like it did the first time I wore it.
Honestly, that’s rare. Especially these days, when so many clothes are made to look good for five minutes and fall apart after two washes.
Final Word (If Anyone Cares)
I’m not here to sell anyone on anything. Wear what you like. But if you’re the kind of person who just wants one hoodie and one pair of sweats that you can live in — that won’t let you down, that feels like it was actually made with care — the Essentials Hoodie (and the Essentials Tracksuit too, while we’re at it) are more than worth it.
And that’s all I’ve got.
