I am absolutely smitten with Character Hoodies for Kids, which elevate an otherwise ordinary hooded sweatshirt into Must Have Territory. Character Hoodies were a big trend in children's wear this Fall, perhaps the most popular one is Stella McCartney's Bandit Hoodie (above and below), spotted on Flynn Bloom, Orlando Bloom's adorable son, in two different colors. It sold out almost everywhere at $125… ALMOST, as I was able to find it on Sale (see below)! I am sure kids will continue to wear these Character Hoodies into spring, as Hoodies are perfect transitional outerwear pieces because they keep your Little One warm on chilly days and comfortable on those warmer days with their light-weight fabrics. And Kids will want to wear them, as these Character Hoodies are beyond Cool! Your Child will love them so much, this is the only Hoodie they will want to wear! I can attest to this, my son has the Tea Collection Daring Dragon Hoodie (also below) and it is his Favorite!
This Stella McCartney Bandit Hoodie is sure to be one your son will Adore! In keeping with the brand's playful aesthetic, this Character Hoodie features a Mexican wrestler character printed on the hood with quirky mesh eye holes and glow in the dark print! This was the most popular Character Hoodie this fall (this is one of the colors Flynn Bloom has) and it is sold out Almost everywhere, but I found it on a Dutch website, Orange Mayonnaise, and it is on Sale!
This Tea Collection Daring Dragon Hoodie is the one my son has, and it's his favorite Hoodie. In China, a pixu is a dragon-like creature that wards off evil, and when your Little Guy flips up his hood in this adorable Character Hoodie he will ward off the cold and look cool. And for extra cuteness, it has a striped lined hood and pockets.
This Volcom "Chargernized" Full Zip Hoodie zips up and over your Little Guys face to reveal a googgly-eyed character (mesh insets at the eyes and mouth allow him to see and breathe easily). Like the Mask Trend (see my previous post), this Hoodie lets his silly side go wild and allows him to express his personality with mystique and playfulness.
This Mighty Fine Rainbow Dash Hoodie lets your little one be RainbowDash ALLOVER! With mane, ears, tail, and wings your Daughter is sure to be in LOVE with the magic of this absolutely adorable Character Hoodie. I love that there are Girly Character Hoodies in this trend as well-- Girls like to Dress-Up as much, if not more, than Boys. And this RainbowDash Character Hoodie comes in Women's sizes as well, I am seriously considering :-)
This Mighty Fine "Hello Kitty Face" Hoodie has a cute Hello Kitty Face, a hood-top with Kitty Ears, and an all-over Heart Print (All-Over Prints is another trend in Hoodies I will be talking about soon). If your Little Sweetheart Loves Hello Kitty, she is sure to also Fall in Love with this Adorable Character Hoodie.

If you are Crafty and have a simple Hoodie, you can also DIY: See Vanessa Craft has an easy to follow Tutorial for making your own Dino Hoodie for your Little One, complete with downloadable template of the spikes.
