'Tis the season for wearing a hoodie...sometimes. We're in that in-between, transitional season, where the weather alternates between freezing cold and almost actually warm at the drop of a hat. What you leave the house in in the morning might not be appropriate wear come evening time, so it's all about layering, versatility, and clothes that will last you from winter to spring. What you need, of course, is the lightweight hoodie.

A lightweight hoodie is a transitional necessity, perfect for layering under a jacket, over a tee, or both. You get all the warm and cozy vibes of a regular hoodie, minus all the sweating—keep that in mind for your next chilly morning jog, too. There are dressy styles from Celine Homme and AMI Paris, just waiting to be paired with your favorite jeans and loafers; there are casual looks from Lululemon and Cozy Earth, perfect for a baggy jogger, some sneakers, and a laid-back day.

Whether you're dressing up or dressing down, heading into the office or into the gym, commuting or chilling out, these lightweight hoodies are perfect for staying warm while keeping cool.
