I’ll be honest—when it comes to my wardrobe, I’ve always been picky. I’m one of those people who needs their clothes to hit that perfect trifecta: style, comfort, and quality. That’s why I’ve completely fallen in love with the Essentials Hoodies by Fear of God. And I’m not the only one. These hoodies have become a staple in wardrobes across the UK and beyond, and as the proud team behind Essentials Clothing UK—the official UK store partnered with Fear of God—I’m here to tell you exactly why.
We offer up to 40% off on our entire Essentials Line, which includes the world-famous Essentials Hoodie, different types of Essentials Hoodies, Essentials Tracksuits, different types of Essentials Tracksuits, Essentials Sweatshirts, and Essentials T-shirts. But today, I want to focus on the real MVP of the collection: the hoodie. Why is it such a bestseller? Why is everyone— from streetwear fans to fashion influencers—obsessed with it?
Let me take you behind the seams and into the story of the hoodie that’s taken the fashion world by storm.
My First Encounter with the Essentials Hoodie
I remember the first time I saw someone wearing an Essentials Hoodie. It wasn’t flashy, it didn’t scream for attention, and yet it completely caught my eye. The oversized fit, the subtle yet iconic branding, the clean colour palette—it all looked so refined, yet relaxed.
That night, I went straight to our online store at Essentials Clothing UK and ordered my first one. It arrived quickly, and the moment I put it on, I knew. This wasn’t just another hoodie. It was something else entirely.
What Makes the Essentials Hoodie So Loved?
After years of wearing, selling, and styling Essentials Hoodies, I can confidently say that the love people have for them goes beyond aesthetics. These hoodies deliver in ways that not many other brands can.
1. The Fit – Relaxed but Perfectly Structured
You know how some oversized hoodies just look sloppy? Essentials figured out the magic formula. The hoodie is designed to be oversized but structured. The shoulders drop just right, the body has enough space for movement without drowning you in fabric, and the sleeves taper just enough to give a clean silhouette.
As someone who’s both worn and styled dozens of streetwear brands, I’ve rarely seen a fit as universally flattering as this one.
2. The Fabric – Heavyweight Yet Breathable
Essentials uses a premium cotton blend that feels substantial. When I wear mine, I feel wrapped in quality. It’s warm enough for those chilly UK days, yet breathable enough for indoor hangs or photoshoots. It doesn’t pill, it doesn’t lose shape, and it feels better the more you wear it.
That kind of longevity is why so many of our customers come back for more. It’s not just a hoodie; it’s an investment.
3. Minimal Branding, Maximum Impact
The branding on an Essentials Hoodie is subtle. A small “ESSENTIALS” logo on the front or back (depending on the style), and a rubber tag at the neckline. That’s it. But here’s the thing—it’s recognisable. Those in the know, know.
That understated flex is what makes it such a favourite among influencers and creatives. It says you’ve got taste, without being loud about it.
The Bestselling Styles at Essentials Clothing UK
We’ve seen a huge variety of Essentials Hoodies come through our store, and while we love them all, a few standout styles consistently top our charts.
Let me share the bestselling ones and why our customers (myself included) can’t get enough:
🔥 Essentials Core Hoodie
This is the original, the classic, the one that started it all. It features a kangaroo Essentials Hoodie, a roomy hood, and that signature oversized fit. The neutral colourways—think taupe, black, cream, and grey—make it super versatile.
Why everyone loves it:
It’s the ultimate layering piece. It looks good with joggers, jeans, cargos—you name it. And it photographs beautifully for Instagram.
🌫️ Essentials 1977 Hoodie
A twist on the classic, the 1977 Hoodie features a bold “1977” print on the front, referencing the birth year of Fear of God’s founder, Jerry Lorenzo.
Why everyone loves it:
It has a nostalgic streetwear vibe with a touch of historical cool. Great for those who want their hoodie to say a little more—without shouting.
🌪️ Essentials Pullover Hoodie with Back Print
This version flips the branding to the back, keeping the front clean and minimal.
Why everyone loves it:
The back logo adds visual interest, especially for social media shots. It’s perfect for influencers and photographers who love that “walking away” aesthetic.
🌧️ Essentials Half-Zip Hoodie
This hoodie blends the comfort of a pullover with the functionality of a zip-up. The half-zip detail adds a unique touch and allows for more styling flexibility.
Why everyone loves it:
It adds edge to an outfit. Plus, it’s easier to throw on and off, making it a go-to for transitional weather.
My Styling Tips for Essentials Hoodies
Over the years, I’ve styled Essentials Hoodies for events, reels, travel shoots, and casual weekends. Here are my top tips for getting the most out of yours:
1. Layer with Longer Tees
The oversized silhouette pairs perfectly with a longline T-shirt underneath. It adds depth and prevents the look from feeling too top-heavy.
2. Match With Essentials Tracksuits
One of our hottest-selling combos at Essentials Clothing UK is the hoodie paired with Essentials Tracksuit bottoms. You get that clean, coordinated look without it feeling too “matchy-matchy.”
3. Add Contrast with Accessories
Throw on a beanie, a crossbody bag, or chunky sneakers to give your look dimension. Essentials pieces are neutral for a reason—they’re meant to be built upon.
