Lots of retailers and designer brands take this item as a leisure clothing item, but I want give a new look into it.

If you thought hoodies were all about chilling, sleeping, cold season and Sunday early mornings, you know what I mean ;-), then you are misguided. It can be a nice update for a dressy event or even for a work day at the office. Think of a nice dress layered under oversized hoodie, a sexy must-have!
Hoodies and Shorts
Yes, you are allowed to wear a hoodie with shorts, all you need is the confidence. Just keep your shorts slim, no baggy style is allowed. Show at least some knee. My personal advice is to keep the hoodie and shorts design neutral coloured. A simple look with no crazy prints or vibrant logos. Complete such look with appropriate footwear; it can be classy sneakers, mid-heel pumps, or ankle cuff sandals. Don’t pick a sweater that looks baggy on you, and avoid flip-flop sandals. You can also throw in a biker leather jacket to give it that bad ass feel. This is a casual look so you should not wear it for night dinner parties or at work.

Hoodies and Leather Jackets
It’s another story. This look isn’t as casual, as wearing a denim jacket. If all the things are done right, then a result is something edgy and sophisticated, but still modern and smart-chic. It’s more like a biker-inspired look that underlines woman’s power of being strong and individual. I love seeing women in neutral colour hoodies layered with black leather jackets and completed with dark blue or black jeans. But you are free to try any colour you like, from red to pastel hoodie and black to light blue and green leather jacket. My show recommendation here would be a nice pair of Chelsea boots or Presley ankle boots.
Suggested look: Hoodie + Leggings + boots + Leather jacket
Hoodies and Jeans
Hoodie and jeans are another basic look that looks chic, feels comfortable. This combo can be an easy way to dress things up or keep them looking casual. Those of you who want to underline their elegance, and then my advice is to choose neutral colours, keep both pieces slim-fitted. Choice of shoes matters here you can wear this with a nice pair of sneakers or chucks or vans especially the checked vans will take a hoodie to a whole new level. For a casual look, you are free to experiment with colours, fit and style. My recommendation for jeans would be blue jeans always give that elegance, can be ripped but not over ripped. On this look you can throw in nice denim jacket that compliments the bottoms.
Hoodies with Leggins
This look especially with leather leggins brings out that chic bold lady. This requires black leggins paired with any colour of hoodie complemented by ankle boots or sneakers. Layering this look with a denim jacket or a leather jacket or a bomber jacket is a good idea. The hoodie in this case can be relaxed or a bit baggy.
Hoodies and Denim Jackets
I guess it’s the most popular combination for women. The denim and hoodie are like milk and coffee, you can never go wrong. Speaking of colours, then all depends on your creativity. It can be a classic blue or black denim jacket worn over white, black, blue, red, grey or any other coloured hoodie. As a good example of wearing these pieces, you can try on a red hoodie with a black denim jacket. Complete these garments with black crop jeans and leather ankle boots, as the result you are going to achieve a smart looking outfit.
Hoodies and Shirts
You can go for a hoodie layered under or over a shirt. If your shirt is printed or it’s bright colored, then my advice is to combine it with a neutral colored hoodie and vice versa. For footware a nice pair of sneakers or rubbers can do not forgetting slides. Baggy hoodies are ideal.
Hoodie and Skirts
This leaves you thinking a about you after work but no, you can wear that faux leather body corn skirt with a nice hoodie. Imagine a baby pink crop hoodie paired up with a black leather skirt and layered with a nice black duster coat complemented by a pair of sandal heels or ankle boots. You can wear this for an evening party.
Hoodies and Dresses
You have two options: it can be a casual look or a dressy outfit. If you decided to play with a dressy and formal look, then my personal advice is to keep balanced proportions. You will need a classy neutral coloured hoodie and slim dress (pencil fit, midi slim version). If it’s more about a downtown look, then you are free to experiment with different lengths and proportions.
Hoodies as Dresses
Bold colours of hoodies can be worn independently as dress hoodies. These are hoodies that are specifically tailored to be long as a dress going all the way covering the thighs. You can also come up with your own by using an oversized hoodie and using a belt to cut around the waist . This can be worn with sandals or knee high boots. 
Hoodies with Dress Pants
A hoodie looks so cool when matched with dress pants in a casual or official ensemble.
Hoodies and Coats
A hoodie with a coat is a different story. Keep a statement coat handy and wear whatever you want underneath, in our case, it’s a hoodie. You are free to experiment with a different coat, from pea coats to car coats, duster coat and trenches. A look layered with coats can be modified to fit any occasion for instance Go for a fitted black hoodie with minimal graphics or crop hoodie and grey dress pants (high waist) to achieve an absolutely stylish office outfit you can add a pair of black pumps and a beige trench coat or duster coat.
Hoodies and Blazers
You can wear such combo at work. Sure, I wouldn’t say it’s the most conservative look, but if your dress code isn’t strict, but you still want to look professional, then go for a hoodie paired with structured and polished pieces. Layer it under a blazer and complete this look with menswear-inspired trousers, or a pencil skirt and sleek pair of classy heels. I recommend a fitted hoodie; and choose neutral colours.
This look can also be casual look by adding cropped dress pants and pair of sneakers or athletics shoes.
Suggested look: Cropped hoodie + Dress pants+ a blazer + heels
