Looking for a cute new hoodie- suggestions?

[WitMom]

I would like a new hoodie for this fall for a bunch of casual outdoor school/family events we have coming up. I know hoodies are everywhere, but I'm hoping to find one that's a little more...unique I guess....than the typical hoodie. I also prefer it to not be too boxy, and be available in a B&M store. The first "event" is Friday, and I don't think it would be here on time if I have to order online.

I really like this for something different, but the price, not so much.

Anyone have any ideas where else I might look?

A $78 hoodie! I've now seen it all.

I don't have advice but I'll be watching this thread..... I think hoodies might be out. There are much, much fewer around in stores than last season. Both for me and DD. VERY irritating, I love hoodies and I *will* find a nice one (or few) this year no matter what.

Cute! I think it's more of a sweater than a hoodie, so, maybe that's why the price tag. I'll be watching this thread....

Are you looking for more of a sweater hoodie or more of a fleece?

A $78 hoodie! I've now seen it all.

$78 is far, FAR from what I've seen hoodies retail for. But wellyes brings up a valid point - what's your price range? And what are the other featers, both "must have" and "nice to have" ones?

I love hoodies and I'm not sure they are going out of style. I still see them everywhere.

My favorite site for unusual hoodies (well, for nearly all tops) is www.anthropologie.com (http://www.anthropologie.com). Here's some I found.

And this one doesn't actually have a hood (so can it really be called a hoodie?) but it's made of the same fabric and I'd wear it the same way I'd wear any other hoodie: http://www.anthropologie.com/anthro/catalog/productdetail.jsp?subCategoryId=CLOTHES-LOUNGEWEAR&id=19097047&catId=CLOTHES-LOUNGEWEAR&pushId=CLOTHES-LOUNGEWEAR&popId=CLOTHES&sortProperties=&navCount=1000&navAction=top&fromCategoryPage=true&selectedProductSize=&selectedProductSize1=&color=031&isSubcategory=true&isProduct=true&isBigImage=&templateType=

Anthro gets new stuff every week and new stuff goes onsale all the time. hth!

Don't know if they still have them, but I found a nice one (no actual hood, but same style/material) at Sam's Club a few weeks ago. It's from Kenneth Cole, comes in a dark purple and dark gray (there may have also been one or two other colors). It has seams that give it some shape and ruching by the pockets. I don't remember the exact price, but I want to say $12 or $15. No luck finding a picture online - sorry.

[WitMom]

Lisa, thanks for all of those ideas. I really like the #3 and #4. Hopefully (maybe?) they'll go on sale.

Mousemom- I don't have a membership to Sam's, but I'll have one of my friends that does take a look for me. Thanks for the tip.

As far as price, I'd like to try to keep it under $50. I don't have a preference for sweater-type or fleece/jersey....just whatever's cute!

[kozachka]

Sounds like you like hoodies with ruffles, is that right?

[pastrygirl]

This one is basic, but I have it in a non-cashmere cotton version that they don't sell anymore and LOVE IT. I wish I could get it in more colors!

I do like ruffles (alot) but they are definitely not a requirement.

And cashmere....hmmm, that's not all bad!
