Nike and I are in a very serious relationship. Okay, I know every runner and lounger and MJ lover reading this would say the same—but ours is especially committed. It started with the basketball shorts, crew socks, and running shoes of my middle school glory days—and it’s since evolved to loungewear, loungewear, loungewear.
But one section of my wardrobe (and, um, my entire personality) that Nike hasn’t entered is outerwear—until now. I live in Boston, where we’re officially months into cozy season, and I’ve been on the lookout for a sweater I can wear for all my everyday activities, including indoor chilling when New England weather has me feeling extra snuggly.
Naturally, Nike is always in my browser’s recent history, so I decided to check out the website for its latest picks. I was pleasantly surprised by all the streetwear the iconic label is serving up these days—pairing the level of function I’ve grown to know and love with fashion that rivals all the pricier brands I tend to gravitate toward (much to the chagrin of my wallet).
The moment I laid eyes on the Nike Sportswear Phoenix Cozy Bouclé, it was love. The cocoon-like sweater is everything I wanted: high-fashion, bold, oversized, ultra-soft, and long enough to cover my torso and then some. It’s basically the most stylish Snuggie ever invented (but one you’d actually leave the house in, of course).

Nike Sportswear Phoenix Cozy Bouclé — $177
Pros:
- Ultra-soft, cozy plush knit fabric
- Oversized fit
- Versatile
Cons:
- May feel bulky for some; recommend sizing down
What really sealed the deal for me was the print—a fun mix of gray with white Nike swooshes that gives the coolest zebra pattern ever. It’s “where did she get that?” eye-catching without being over the top. Plus, if you do prefer a more neutral vibe, it also comes in a cream color that will vibe with everything in your closet.
And then there’s the comfort. Made from plush knit fabric, it’s like wearing a stylish blanket that keeps you warm even on the coldest days. Its loose fit gives it a relaxed vibe, making it ideal for layering over tops or pairing with leggings for a sleek, off-duty look. (Pro tip: I sized down, which strikes a nice balance of roomy without feeling bulky.) I wear it to Pilates almost every morning, and I can’t even tell you how many compliments I’ve gotten.
It’s the ultimate hybrid piece, seamlessly blending loungewear comfort with streetwear cool. Whether I’m out for a brisk morning walk or grabbing coffee with friends, this sweater always makes a statement while keeping me snug.
If you’re looking for a sweater that checks the warm, on-trend, versatile, functional, ridiculously comfortable, high-quality (should I keep going?) boxes, this is it. Consider this my announcement that Nike and I are still going strong, and my official love letter to the Nike Sportswear Phoenix Cozy Bouclé. You’ll catch me in it all year round, no matter the outside temps.
