Winter Guide: How to Style Vintage Hoodies, Sweats & Jackets in 2025

Featuring Nike, Carhartt, Adidas & Pro Sports Classics

Vintage outerwear has never been more relevant. In 2025, it’s all about effortless layering, bold logos, and blending streetwear with nostalgic sportswear. Whether you're styling a classic Nike hoodie, a heavyweight Carhartt jacket, or a vintage NBA crewneck, here’s how to build standout fits with vintage pieces that turn heads and tell stories.


1. Oversized Fits are In

The oversized silhouette continues to dominate. From 90s Nike sweats to early 2000s Adidas hoodies, baggy is the go-to.

Style it:
Pair a vintage Nike hoodie with wide-leg cargos or straight-leg jeans. Finish the look with classic sneakers like Air Max 90s or Campus 00s. It’s simple, wearable, and effortlessly on-trend.

2. Master the Layer Game

Layering adds depth and texture, especially with rugged vintage jackets. Throw a Carhartt Detroit jacket over a logo hoodie or a vintage NBA sweat.

Style it:
Try a Pro Sports hoodie under a Carhartt work jacket with relaxed-fit denim. Top it off with a beanie or fitted cap for a complete winter-ready fit.

3. Mix Eras & Textures

2025 style is all about contrasts. Combine materials like fleece, nylon, mesh, and heavyweight cotton to make your outfit stand out.

Style it:
Team a 90s Adidas zip-up with early 2000s trackpants or cargo shorts. Add vintage sneakers and you're good to go.

4. Keep Bottoms Minimal

Let your hoodie or jacket be the hero. Stick with neutral-coloured pants to balance loud logos and graphics.

Style it:
A bold vintage Nike or Adidas crewneck looks clean with beige or black trousers. Add retro runners or slip-ons to finish the look.


5. The Sportswear Revival

Vintage sports gear—NBA, NFL, college teams—is a core part of 2025 fashion. These pieces bring an athletic edge that pairs easily with modern streetwear.

Style it:
Throw on a vintage NBA crewneck with faded denim and New Balance 550s. Add a varsity jacket for cooler nights.
