Funny Gifts and Cozy Hoodies in Boston, MA

When Boston gets cold enough for a hoodie

Boston sits in the New England climate zone. Coastal wind and nor'easters make the cold feel heavy and long. The first real chill typically arrives late October, and hoodie weather usually runs late October through April. Snow shows up several times a season, which makes layers a habit rather than an event.

What to wear in Boston, layer by layer

Here is the layering plan for Boston. A sweatshirt or hoodie is the everyday middle layer from late fall through early spring. Wear it over a tee, then add a coat on the coldest days. Check the size guide if you plan to layer.
