Rick Owens Drawstring Hoodie​

Rick Owens Drawstring Hoodie

Rick Owens Drawstring Hoodie is a sandy beige pullover, and it’s huge. The sleeves puff out and then get squeezed in at the wrist. The shoulders sit way down the arm. Two long pale cords hang over the front. On the model it looks like the hoodie is wearing her, not the other way around.

What Stands Out

Start with the sleeves. They’re wide up top and then they bunch into thick rolls at the cuff, which gives the whole piece its shape. The cords hang down to about pocket height, flat, and slightly paler than the rest of the hoodie. And the pocket? Huge, set low, with soft rounded edges.

Fabric

Looks like a heavy cotton fleece that’s been garment washed. That’s probably why the color isn’t even all over and why it already looks worn in. I can’t tell the exact blend from a photo, so look at the label if you need it. I’d expect it to feel thick and warm, and heavy enough to hang straight.

Fit

The model is swamped in it, and that’s how it’s meant to look. Shoulders drop far past the normal line, the body is wide and boxy, and the hem ends near the hips. Your usual size gives you this look. Take one size down if it feels like too much. Rick Owens runs big anyway, so if you’re stuck between two sizes, pick the smaller one.

Care Instructions

• Wash cold and inside out.
• Use a mild detergent on a gentle setting.
• Leave out the bleach and softener, because they fade the washed color.
• Lay it flat to dry. A dryer on low is okay if you have to.
• Don’t press the iron against the ribbed edges.

Styling

With a top this big, slim bottoms work best. Black Rick Owens Pants look good against the sand color. For something casual on your feet, go with Rick Owens Sneakers. If you want the whole outfit darker and heavier, Rick Owens Boots do that.
