A few months ago, I saw someone post on Instagram about how the Essentials Hoodie changed their idea of comfort. I rolled my eyes. Just another hoodie?
That’s what I thought—until I put it on.
I’m not into fashion like that. I’ve got a regular job, I live in sneakers, and most days I just throw on whatever hoodie’s clean(ish) and on top of the laundry pile. But at some point, I got curious—not because of some influencer post or flashy ad, but just because I was tired of wearing stuff that didn’t feel good. I wanted something simple that made me feel a bit more put together… without having to think too hard about it.
So I bought a hoodie. Just one. And that snowballed into a full-on Essentials obsession.
The First Wear
The day it came, I wasn’t expecting anything special. I’d ordered the Essentials Hoodie in “wood” — kind of a muted brown. Right out of the box, it felt heavier than my usual hoodies, but in a good way. It wasn’t bulky. It was thick where it needed to be, and soft where I wanted it most, especially inside.
I threw it on over a plain white tee, and something just clicked.
It fit exactly how I’d hoped: loose, but not sloppy. The hood stayed up when I wore it. The sleeves didn’t stretch weirdly when I pushed them up. It just felt… solid. Like the hoodie version of a deep breath.
I threw it on in the morning and never changed. Took a walk, hit the store, made dinner—by the time I was on the couch watching Netflix, it hit me: I hadn’t thought about my outfit once. It just worked, without trying.

The Tracksuit Was a No-Brainer After That
Once I’d lived in the hoodie for a couple of weeks, getting the Essentials Tracksuit bottoms was kind of inevitable. I didn’t even overthink it. I just picked a pair in the same color — figured, why not?
And yeah. The same thing happened.
They’re not like cheap sweatpants that lose their shape or pill after two washes. These hold their own. The fabric is thick but breathable. The waistband sits right — no digging in, no sliding down. I even wore them on a last-minute coffee date and didn’t feel underdressed for a second.
Now, I’ve got two full Essentials Tracksuit sets and wear them almost constantly. Grocery runs, work-from-home days, chill weekends — it doesn’t matter what I’m doing. They’ve become my unofficial uniform.
Why I Keep Reaching for Them
Here’s the truth—I didn’t expect to like them this much. I figured they’d be a one-time thing, something I’d throw on now and then. But they’ve become part of my everyday life for a few reasons:
1. They Make Mornings Easier
No more standing in front of my closet, wondering what goes” together. I grab the Essentials Hoodie, throw on the tracksuit joggers or jeans, and I’m out the door. Done.
2. They Hold Up
I’ve washed them countless times. No shrinking. No weird twisting. No faded colors. That never happens with my other hoodies.
3. They Feel Good, Period
Sure, the style’s there, but it’s the comfort that hits. The kind that fits naturally, feels right from the start, and lets you settle into yourself without even thinking about it.
What They’re Not
Let’s be clear — this isn’t some magic outfit that makes you a new person. At the end of the day, it’s a hoodie and joggers. But they’re made well, they fit right, and they deliver. No frills, no noise—just quality that speaks for itself. You won’t find giant logos or neon colors. But there’s a quiet confidence in that. It’s clothing that doesn’t need to shout.
Would I Recommend Them?
Absolutely — with one caveat. Don’t get them if you want fast fashion vibes. These aren’t $20 knockoffs you throw away next season. The Essentials Hoodie and Essentials Tracksuit cost more than your average set, but they’ll outlast every cheap hoodie you’ve got, and you’ll want to wear them.
They’ve replaced half my wardrobe. And honestly? I’m cool with that.
One Last Thing
If you’ve ever found yourself standing in front of your closet with zero motivation to get dressed, these are for you. If you want clothes that feel as good on the couch as they do out in the world, these are for you.
I’m not being paid to say this. I’m not trying to sell you something. I’m just someone who finally found a hoodie and tracksuit that feel like me.
And once you try the Essentials Hoodie and the Essentials Tracksuit, I think you’ll get what I mean.
