Best for: cool temperatures

As the temperature drops, look to fleece when choosing a cosy jumper. Nike Sportswear Phoenix Fleece sweatshirts are smooth on the outside and comfy on the inside with soft, brushed fleece. These tops are available in voluminous silhouettes coupled with wide ribbing on the hem and cuffs to lock in extra warmth.

Find Phoenix Fleece in a loose crop top with a polo collar, an extra-oversize fit with a seamless neckline or a good old-fashioned hoodie. They come in a wide range of colours, from neutral earth tones to bright pinks and greens.

Best for: warm workouts, mild weather

Sweat-wicking technology will keep you cool as your workout heats up. Nike Dri-FIT fabric is made to keep you cool and dry, while the sweatshirts' baggy fit makes for easy layering.

French terry fabric keeps these sweatshirts feeling lightweight, even with the extra roominess. They come in a variety of styles, from quarter-zips and full-zips to classic sweatshirts and hoodies with zipping kangaroo pockets.

Best for: cold-weather workouts

For top-notch temperature control as you exercise in the cold, an oversize Nike Therma-FIT sweatshirt keeps you warm by trapping your natural body heat and evaporating sweat before you feel chilled.

To get the most advanced heat-regulating technology, opt for Nike Therma-FIT ADV, which uses superior materials, as well as engineering from athlete insights and body mapping. Find cropped crew necks or cover-ups with hems falling at the mid-thigh.

Best for: exploring outside

Combine a cosy feel and rugged durability in these oversize hoodies and sweatshirts. Dropped shoulders create extra room to move, and most of the line's sweatshirts are made with Nike Therma-FIT technology to keep you warm as the temperature drops.

Nike All Conditions Gear—or ACG—features patterns inspired by nature, from snow drifts to basalt rock formations. They are made with at least 75% sustainable materials, so you can help protect the nature you set out to explore.

Choose from "Tuff Knit" fleece, French terry and a variety of styles when shopping oversize jumpers made from at least 50–75% recycled materials. Undyed options offer a natural look, and some oversize hoodies feature Nike Grind—a recycled material made from scraps in the shoe-manufacturing process—for the Swoosh logo and drawcord tips.

For a completely new look, opt for the oversize Nike Forward hoodie. Rather than using traditional knit fabrics, Nike Forward combines thin layers of fibre to create a hoodie that reduces its carbon footprint by 75%, while still retaining lightweight warmth and a soft feel.
