Can I use acrylic paint?

Only if you mix with textile medium or use labeled fabric paint. Plain acrylic cracks and washes off.

Best blank color for Hoodie Frutti?

White and baby pink match the trend pins. Sage green and sky blue work for lemon and cherry layouts.

First steps from Trend and setup

See how every step looks — photo, checklist, and pro tips included.

Pastel blank + one hero fruit = the trend.

01Meet the Hoodie Frutti trend

Hoodie Frutti = oversized pastel hoodie + bold fruit on the back — lemons, strawberries, cherries, or a grid of mixed fruit. Sleeve embroidery optional. The look is playful, not perfect factory print.

Save three Pinterest refs: one lemon back, one strawberry text, one fruit grid. Your version should read clearly from three feet away.

02Pick your blank hoodie

Choose oversized fit — drop shoulder, long body. White, baby pink, sage, or light blue match the trend.

100% cotton or cotton-rich blends take fabric paint best. Avoid heavy fleece with silicone finish — paint may peel.
