When Minneapolis gets cold enough for a hoodie

Hoodie weather in Minneapolis usually runs October through April, and the first real chill typically shows up late September to early October. Skyways and tunnels downtown make winter bearable, but the walk to the car still tests every layer. Snow is a regular part of the winter picture, so the cold season is long and planned for.

What to wear in Minneapolis, layer by layer

Here is what works in Minneapolis. Think in three layers: a tee against the skin, a sweatshirt or hoodie in the middle, and a real coat on top. If you wear a sweatshirt under a coat, many people size up one so the sleeves do not bunch. Check the size guide before you pick a size.
