Learning how to fold a hoodie not only clears space in your closet or chest of drawers, but it can also help keep unnecessary wrinkles at bay. Believe it or not, part of the simple care routine for a hoodie involves storing it correctly, though the way you wash it takes precedent.

Nüüd, here’s our step-by-step guide to folding a hoodie to create space for your other favorite staples.

Before You Fold Your Hoodie

This folding technique is fairly simple and can be done on any surface, but we have a few pointers that we discovered while perfecting the method:

Fold your hoodie on a hard, flat surface: A hard, flat surface makes the process of folding quicker and easier and generates the neatest results.

2. Deliberate folds are critical: Speaking of folds, make sure that every single fold is as deliberate as possible.

3. Flatten the material as you go: Flatten out each section of the hoodie along the way to avoid unwanted creases.

4. Iron or steam out wrinkles before folding: To ensure that your hoodie doesn’t look like a wrinkled mess when freed from its cute little hood cocoon, consider ironing or steaming the garment beforehand.

How to Fold a Hoodie

1. Spread the Hoodie Out on a Table

To start, lay your hoodie on a flat surface, such as a table, with the back of the hoodie facing upwards. Make sure the fabric is spread out evenly, free from wrinkles or folds.

2. Fold the First Arm

Take one of the hoodie’s arms and fold it across the front of the hoodie. Next, tuck a few inches of the sleeve downward toward the bottom of the hoodie so that the material fits neatly inside the side hem.

3. Fold the Second Arm

Repeat the same folding process with the other arm, ensuring that you smooth out any wrinkles or uneven folds along the way.

4. Fold One Outer Edge

Nüüd, fold one of the outer edges of the hoodie in towards the center, making sure it aligns neatly with the other side.

5. Fold the Other Outer Edge

Continue by folding the opposite outer edge in the same manner. Both sides should meet in the middle, creating a symmetrical fold.

6. Fold the Body

Fold the “body” of the hoodie in halfway towards the top of the hoodie, and then fold it a second time over the hood. This will create a compact rectangular shape.

7. Pull the Hood Around the Body

Gently pull the hood, which should be sitting under the folded body of the hoodie, around the body itself. Ensure that the body is tucked neatly into the hood, smoothing out any wrinkles as you do so.

8. Tighten the Drawstring

If your hoodie has a drawstring, tighten it and tie a bow to secure the folds in place.

9. Final Result

Voilà! You’ve successfully folded your hoodie using this easy and efficient method. This technique not only keeps your hoodie neat and organized but is also perfect for travel. It saves space when packed into a carry-on bag and can even serve as a portable pillow during long journeys by bus, plane, train, or car.

By following these steps, you’ll always have a perfectly folded hoodie ready for any occasion. Whether it’s for storage, travel, or maintaining an organized closet, this folding method will ensure your hoodie stays in great shape.

Other Hoodie folding tips:

Rolling Method: For thick hoodies or if storage space is limited, you can try rolling the hoodie like a towel. This method reduces bulk and is often useful for packing a hoodie in your suitcase when traveling.

Hoodie Folding Board: There are some folding boards or folding appliances specifically designed for folding clothing, including hoodies. These boards help you fold your hoodie quickly and evenly, ensuring it stays neat and tidy.

Hanger Storage: If you have enough storage space, you can also consider hanging the hoodie on a hanger. This helps prevent wrinkles and maintain the hoodie’s shape.

Layered Folding: For a thin and lightweight hoodie, you may consider folding it into more layers to maximize space savings. This method works well for multiple layers of hoodie.

In addition to the above folding methods, there are more hoodie folding methods depending on the material, thickness, storage space, and other details of your hoodie. We also recommend a video tutorial for you here.
