The THEMENCO Since 2020 Men's Black Hoodie turns varsity-style branding into an outer layer. Because the hoodie already provides both volume and a chest graphic, successful outfits usually come from controlling what sits underneath and below it.

Start with a plain base layer

A white, grey or black T-shirt gives the hoodie a clean foundation. If the tee shows at the hem, the small contrast can help separate the layers without adding another graphic.

Balance the hoodie with the trousers

Straight jeans, relaxed chinos or clean joggers can all work. Avoid choosing trousers so narrow that the upper body feels disproportionately heavy if you prefer a relaxed hoodie fit.

Add a jacket only when needed

A coat, bomber or work jacket can sit over the hoodie in cooler weather. Keep the outer layer visually simple and make sure the hood has enough space to sit naturally.

Check the intended layering room

If you plan to wear a tee beneath it regularly, compare your measurements with the THEMENCO size guide before choosing a size.
