A mens black sweatshirt goes with everything and hides the odd coffee spill. Choose a classic cotton crew neck, a smart half zip or a fleece-lined hoodie for the coldest mornings. Every piece on this page comes in deep black that pairs with grey joggers or dark jeans.
Black sweatshirts for men: crew necks and half zips
Black is the shade that forgives a busy week, because it hides creases, coffee marks and a long day at the desk. Our relaxed cotton crew necks sit easily over a T-shirt, while the cotton blend crew neck is a touch neater for the office. Ribbed cuffs and a ribbed hem keep the shape after many washes, so the sweatshirt still looks fresh in its second winter. A plain black crew neck sweatshirt also works as a clean base under a denim jacket or a wool overcoat.
Half zip and collared sweatshirts
When you want something smarter than a plain crew, choose one of the two cotton half zips, and the collared version frames the face nicely. The Chester collared sweatshirt adds a check collar, so it looks as if a shirt sits underneath. The relaxed polo sweatshirt is made for a Friday at the office, worn with chinos and suede loafers. All three keep a tidy neckline, so you can wear them to a client lunch and still feel relaxed.
Waffle henley with a warm fleece inside
The waffle henley has a textured face, a buttoned placket and a soft fleece-lined inside that feels warmer than it looks. It is a good pick for long dog walks and cold football touchlines, when a coat feels like too much. In black it hides wear on the elbows and cuffs, and it looks just as good with dark denim as with grey joggers. Wash it inside out with other dark colours and the waffle surface keeps its crisp look.

How we choose a black hoodie for men
We look for a black that stays deep after washing, so we wash each style several times before it goes on the page. A good hoodie should feel heavy enough to keep its shape, yet soft enough to wear from breakfast to bedtime. We also check that every zip runs smoothly and that the cuffs grip the wrist without pinching. A hoodie that passes those tests earns its place, and one that fails never reaches you.
Fleece-lined and heavyweight zip hoodies
The Hokkaido is our cosiest pick, an oversized fit with a fleece lining that traps warmth on frosty mornings. The heavyweight cotton zip up hoodie has a dense, sturdy feel that holds up well to the weekly wash. For sitting at a desk or driving, the Seoul two-way zip opens from the bottom, so the hoodie never bunches at the waist. Each of these men's hoodies has a roomy hood that sits neatly on the shoulders when it is down.
Colour block styles and getting the fit right
The Shibuya zip hoodie mixes black panels with grey or green blocks, so it adds a little interest without shouting. Wear any of our black hoodies with grey joggers, cargo trousers or dark denim and white trainers. Before you order, lay a hoodie you already love flat, measure it across the chest and compare the number with our size chart. Delivery to any UK address costs nothing, and you have a full 30 days to send it back.
Frequently asked questions: Men's Black Sweatshirts & Hoodies
What trousers go with a black sweatshirt?
Grey joggers, dark jeans, cargo trousers and stone chinos all work. A black crew neck with stone chinos looks clean and simple, while grey joggers and white trainers keep a hoodie relaxed. For an all-black outfit, mix textures, such as the waffle henley with black jeans, so it does not look flat.
How should men style a black sweatshirt?
Keep the shapes simple and let the fit do the work. Wear a cotton crew neck under a coat for the commute, or try the Chester, which has a check collar built in so it looks like a shirt beneath. White trainers, a watch and a grey or camel coat finish it neatly.
Is a black half zip sweatshirt smart enough for work?
In most relaxed offices, yes. Our two cotton half zips have a collar that frames the face like a knit, and they look sharp with chinos and leather shoes. The relaxed polo sweatshirt is another good choice for a Friday. Save the oversized hoodies for weekends.
Should I choose a black hoodie or a black sweatshirt?
A sweatshirt looks tidier and suits the office, dinners and a coat on top. A hoodie is more casual and warmer around the neck on windy days. For the cold, the Hokkaido is fleece-lined, and the heavyweight cotton zip up has a high collar. The Seoul has a two-way zip that opens from the bottom.
