Why

Does almost everything these days on the Q have to have hoods? Don't see that many hoods, some yes but not almost everything, in emails/catalogs I get from other successful, nice retailers with good prices and quality.

I have long hair so I hate hoods. They make my hair knot in the back and look a mess.

Sometimes they come in handy if it's real windy or

sprinkling rain.

I have trouble making them lay down properly in the

back.

I'm wearing a zip up fleece hoodie now. It's great for walking the dog when it's cold, windy, or raining.

I like a hood, when it fits. I have a lot of hair and a big head. It is hard to find a decent hood that is actually covering the whole front of my head. Same goes for sports caps and those fitted hats. Anyway, I am cold a lot so I like to have the option for the hood.

@just wonder. I agree; they're rarely used and look extremely unattractive with wrong-side-out draped down the back. I only have a couple on sweat shirts and I've never actually used the hood. It's impossible to arrange the hood neatly after putting the top on.

I don't own anything with a hood. Not my style.

Hey @Kachina624 that's because it never rains

over there.

I like them but I agree it's hard to get the hood to stay flat on your back. I have a bunch of hoodies but I rarely wear a hood.

I think the only thing that has a hood is my parka.

Walking around NYC on cold windy days ... you need a hood. ( I've lost hats on windy days.)

I agree about the hoodies. Sometimes I like a shirt and think it would be nice for a casual work day but then the model turns around and I see a hoodie and I move on. Non-hoodies are more versatile, at least for me.

There's a time and a place for hoodies. I have a few that have come in handy now and again. I have short hair, so that's not a problem.

But I agree. I see of lot of clothing items on QVC that I think would be really cute if they did not have a hoodie. Way too many items with hoodies that are not necessary.

Sometimes I wonder why some viewers see things I don't. I rarely see sweaters and tops with hoods presented. When I searched SWEATERS HOODS I got just 21 items. When I entered TOPS HOODS I found 28. There are 1,797 Sweaters offered and 5,772 Tops. That's a very low percentage of each with hoods.

From my searches there is very minimal tops and sweaters with hoods. At least, as of now and using HOOD in the search.

I only like a REMOVEABLE hood on an outerwear jacket. There is a cute BIG DEAL logo french terry jacket today but it has a hood. I would have ordered if it did not.

Excessively casual, too roomy, too long, frumpy, dumpy and thoroughly unflattering. For bumming around my house I don’t need a hood. Most of my home clothes are workout stuff because I do exercise at home, not in a gym. I recently went to a wedding shower in a very lovely upscale restaurant, they served beautiful food and had linen tablecloths, a gorgeous gathering. The women showed up looking so sloppy, bridesmaids included. I think as a whole we have become a pajama society. I was way too overdressed and all I had on was a pair of dark dressy wide leg jeans and an ivory turtleneck. I was wildly out of place and felt it. I guess I should stick up on plush pjs and hoodies.

@SharkE. Exactly, and it's rarely cold enough during the daytime. Nights are cold but I'm inside.

Once again, we're on the same page @cjm61 ! I was actually looking to buy a few hoodies and was disappointed in the selection. Last time I checked, there were about 30.

I love hoodies. I look good in them and they look good on me.

Re: Why

@cjm61 Not all items that have hoodies have that word in the title. An example is A714849.

Re: Why

cjm61 — Tue, 13 Jan 2026 14:16:48 GMT

Regardless @santorini , you can see thousands of tops, a very small percentage have hoods. I believe people should narrow their search options if they have strong feelings on items. There are so many on the Q, and many more at other retailers.
