Funny Gifts and Cozy Hoodies in Illinois

Winter across Illinois

The first real chill typically arrives mid to late October, and hoodie weather usually runs late October through March. Wind drives the cold, so a 25 degree day can feel like 10. Snow shows up several times a season, which makes layers a habit rather than an event.

What to wear in Illinois, layer by layer

A simple wardrobe rule for Illinois. 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.

Game days, gatherings and other reasons to dress up

Between football Sundays and loud basketball winters and downtown tree lightings and big-city holiday markets, Illinois never runs short of reasons to dress for the season. A funny sweatshirt, hoodie or tee fits right in, and because every design is original, none of it borrows a team or brand.
