Next to white T’s and jeans, the other wardrobe staple most people have in their closets are hoodies. That’s primarily due to the fact that they’re endlessly versatile. You can rock ‘em by themselves, or under a denim jacket; they come in every material known to man, and you can get one in whatever style your heart desires.
In fact, there are so many options when it comes to coppin’ a hoodie, it’s a little daunting. If you’re looking to add a couple to your arsenal this season, take a look below at our picks of the best hoodies for fall/winter 2009. We got a style and price range that should warm you up for the chilly days ahead.

Oh how quickly the tables have turned for Alex Rodriguez. Formerly the black sheep of baseball due to his steroid use, A-Rod now has a key to the city after helping the Bronx Bombers bring home their 27th championship ring. Besides retooling his public image, it seems Mr. Bitchtits has learned how to put a decent outfit together.
His look at the Knicks/Cavs game last week exuded a bit of effortless style. He kept it casual with nice denim, a bomber jacket, and a gray sweater. Then he added a touch of sophistication with the scarf and, for some reason, a fedora. It’s the first time he’s been worthy of a Complex style post (clap for him!). And since we still think he looks corny in anything but a baseball uniform, we also broke down A-Rod’s on field Yankee uni for all you true blue baseball fans. See below to check out how you can clean up like A-Rod…

And because they’re traditionally made of heavier, more durable cotton than, say, a regular long sleeve polo shirt, they’re great staple pieces for your winter wardrobe. As with anything else, only a few brands know how to make a quality, stylish rugby shirt, and you will find most of them below in our round of the 10 best rugby shirts available this season. Game on…

Good thing we here at Complex see cold weather as a chance to get fly with a bunch of layers and one of the most important winter accessories, Scarves.

If you’re unsure of which to get, we’ve narrowed it down to the 10 best winter scarves from brands like J. Crew, Coal, Woolrich, and Polo so you can’t mess it up. Keep reading for the best…

He may still refer to himself as Young Hov, but the reality of the situation is: Shawn Carter’s all grown up. And as Jay’s gotten older, so too has his style of dress. If you couldn’t tell by his rhymes, just take a look at him—we don’t even think he wears Rocawear anymore, and he’s obviously given all his du-rags to Memph Bleek.
In the visual for his latest single from Blueprint 3, “Empire State of Mind,”, rap’s Frank Sinatra trades in the baggy jeans for some clean wool trousers, and goes with a navy-inspired duffle coat instead of North Face snorkel. Real classy. Read on to watch the video and learn how to get the look. But hurry before he’s on the next one…
