Personalised hoodies
If you want a custom hoodie idea that fit your style, then it should reflect something about you. You can use any aspect of yourself as a great hoodie design idea. Why not create a hoodie based on your name, interests or hobbies? If you’d like something more visual, star signs and birth flowers look great on a hoodie.
Want something more unique? Get creative and draw on experiences with specific imagery to make a hoodie inspired by nostalgia. Maybe you used to roller-skate, or draw a lot. Roller-skates and coloured pencils can contribute to a bright and colourful hoodie – but try to pick something that is meaningful to you!
Group / team hoodies
Looking inwards is important, but sometimes you have to look outward for design ideas. If you’re a part of a sports team or a club, why not emblazon your hoodie with the team’s name or motto? This way, you can all enjoy matching hoodies!
You could add a favourite photograph of you and your friends to your hoodie, or a picture of a place where you spend a lot of time. For example, if you’re part of swim team, a pretty picture of the pool could be a fun design. You can even add your swim team's names on the back! This is a good option if you want a custom hoodie but you aren’t much of an artist.
Aesthetic hoodies
We’re talked a lot about the different ways a hoodie design can be meaningful – but let’s face it. Not every hoodie needs to be The Starry Night. Sometimes you can leave the symbolism for poets and just focus on making a hoodie that looks good.
To find a great hoodie design idea, choose a clear aesthetic as a starting point. Whether you like florals or flames, dinosaurs or disco, just pick an aesthetic and commit. You might prefer this option if you have a specific style that you already wear a lot, as you can match the hoodie to your usual wardrobe.
Logo hoodies
If you don’t have any specific ideas but still want a custom hoodie, a logo could be the way to go. After all, there are plenty of fashion brands that get by with slapping their logo onto all sorts of clothes. You can either try to make a realistic-looking logo like you’re wearing a fashionable brand, or a sillier logo for a bit of fun. You’ll find many fun templates for logos online.
Using a logo design for your custom hoodie is a particularly good idea for businesses. Promote your business or kit out your staff in comfy custom hoodies! As an extra idea, remember that branded clothing usually incorporates a design element that draws from the industry, work, or product you are promoting. For example, hoodies worn by members of a plumbing business might have a dripping tap design.
