Top 5 Seventeen Hoodies and Tees for Class
After testing more than a dozen pieces from the latest drops, I narrowed it down to five that survive a semester’s wear without fading, shrinking, or losing shape.
1. “Rock with you” Heavyweight Hoodie
Price: $70
This is the hoodie I grab on cold mornings. It’s made from 12 oz fleece, so it holds its form after multiple washes. The embroidered “ROCK WITH YOU” on the chest is subtle enough for a seminar, but die-hard Carats will recognize it instantly. Sizing runs slightly oversized - go true to size for a regular fit, or size down if you want a cleaner line under a jacket.
2. “Sector” Vintage Tee
Price: $33
A no-brainer for budget-conscious students. The tee is garment-dyed for a lived-in feel, and the fabric is pre-shrunk, so it stays the same after drying. The graphic is a small windowpane design on the left chest - minimal enough that professors won’t side-eye you, but detailed enough that fans will nod.
3. “Semicolon” Crewneck Sweater
Price: $65
If you want the “I look like I have my life together” vibe without spending bank, this is it. The crewneck is a midweight cotton blend with ribbed cuffs that don’t bag out. The back features a large “;” (semicolon) motif in reflective print - catches light in the library but isn’t flashy during the day.
4. “Your Choice” Long-Sleeve Tee
Price: $45
Long sleeves are the sweet spot between a tee and a hoodie. This one uses a slub cotton fabric that breathes well in crowded lecture halls. The graphic is a faded purple “CHOICE” text on the sleeve - unique enough to be a conversation piece but not overwhelming.
5. “FML” Zip-Up Jacket
Price: $58
For students who commute or hit the gym between classes, a zip-up is essential. This jacket is lightweight nylon with a mesh lining, so it packs down small. The back print reads “FML” in stylized letters - a nod to their 2023 album that still resonates. I’ve machine washed this piece a dozen times and the print hasn’t cracked.
