Who Decides War and Essentials rarely get mentioned in the same breath, but their current collections are both worth a look right now for very different reasons. One brings detailed, artisanal hoodie work. The other brings its usual dependable basics with a few small updates. Here's what's actually in each lineup, and how they hold up next to each other.

Inside the Latest Who Decides War Collection

The Core Hoodie Range

The current lineup spans a graphic-print Liberty Who Decides War Hoodie, a drawstring-fastening style, a front-embroidered piece, and the brand's Armour hoodie, with pricing generally landing between $380 and $500. That range is fairly typical for the brand given the hand-applied embroidery and construction detail that goes into each piece.

Collaborative Releases

Beyond the core range, there's a run of artist collaborations in the mix, including pieces tied to EST Gee and A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie. These usually sit at a slightly lower price point than the mainline hoodies but tend to move quickly given the added collector interest around named collaborations.

Inside the Latest Essentials Collection

The Summer 2026 Lineup

Essentials' Summer 2026 collection essentiallhoodie.com is currently available online and in select stores. The lineup sticks closely to what the brand does best — soft, heavyweight fleece and relaxed, oversized cuts — while introducing a few new touches like updated front graphics and a slightly more collegiate look on select pieces.

Small but Noticeable Updates

Construction details this season include dropped shoulders, ribbed cuffs and hem, and hidden side pockets, all fairly standard for the brand but executed with a bit more attention than earlier releases. Nothing here reinvents Essentials' formula, which is really the appeal for longtime buyers who know what they're after.

Styling Both Collections Together

Pick a Focal Point

Rather than pulling a standout piece from each collection and wearing them together at equal volume, choose one to lead. The Who Decides War piece, given its detailing, naturally works better as the outfit's focal point, with Essentials playing a quieter supporting role underneath or alongside it.

Keep Everything Else Simple

Plain bottoms, minimal accessories, nothing else fighting for attention. Both collections already carry enough visual interest on their own — the outfit doesn't need extra elements competing with what these two pieces are already doing together.

Where These Two Collections Leave Your Wardrobe

Whether you're more drawn to Who Decides War's detailed hoodie work or Essentials' dependable basics, both collections are worth checking out while stock is still fresh. The Who Decides War hoodie collaborations are the most likely to disappear for good, so those are worth prioritizing if either catches your eye — the rest of both lineups tend to cycle back around eventually.
