Looking to serve a distinctly British stance through your hoodie of choice? There's one key logo which will allow you to do so fashionably, and it belongs to Burberry. Effortlessly fronting the centre of this ‘Ansdell’ design (which is the result of a collaboration with acclaimed graphic artist Peter Saville), its beige body is made from a luxury cotton jersey blend and is fitted with a chunky drawstring hood. Given the fashion cred it ensures, we'd say it's worth every penny.

While AllSaints' collection of clothing is largely centred on rock and roll-influenced gear, the high street brand also excels in off-duty essentials – including the hoodie.

Easy win.

Fred Perry strikes the perfect stance between sporty and subcultural with this simple staple hoodie. Serving the comfortable status of athletic attire via its cotton blend construction, drawcord trim and ribbed hems, the artistic element comes simply through the brand’s ‘Laurel Wreath’ logo across the centre of the chest: a symbol favoured by endless cultural icons, and therefore a failsafe one to embrace.
