Lace Heart Dog Hoodie

A Soft Statement of Sweet Devotion.

Introducing The Tenderheart Hoodie from Empty Reference—a piece designed for quiet moments, gentle spirits, and the timeless love for a faithful companion. It’s a hug in hoodie form, woven from a sentiment of care and rendered in a shade of pink that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

The canvas is a supremely soft 38.3% cotton, 61.7% polyester blend, chosen for its cloud-like comfort, resilience, and easy-care nature. The color is a muted, sophisticated powder pink that flatters universally and whispers rather than shouts. Upon this gentle field rests the centerpiece: an artfully printed poodle, captured in an elegant profile, framed perfectly within the delicate tracery of a lace heart. This graphic is a love letter in visual form—detailed, intentional, and full of character.

Thoughtfully constructed for modern ease, it forgoes a traditional ribbed hem for a clean, dropped edge that offers a contemporary, flowing silhouette. This is balanced by classic ribbed cuffs that seal in warmth. With its roomy front pocket and soft cotton-lined hood, every detail is tuned for comfort, making it the ideal piece for cozy weekends, leisurely walks, or simply embracing a moment of serene relaxation.

💖 The Anatomy of a Gentle Embrace:

✔ The Poodle & Lace Heart Graphic: The defining emblem. This isn’t a cartoon, but a refined illustration that blends classic charm (the poodle) with delicate femininity (the lace). It’s a subtle, conversation-starting detail that speaks to a love of life’s elegant, furry joys.
✔ Powder Pink Palette: A carefully selected hue that avoids being overly sweet. This muted, earthy pink acts as a neutral, providing a soft backdrop that makes the graphic pop while remaining incredibly versatile and easy to style.
✔ Modern Dropped Hem Silhouette: The absence of a bottom rib creates a clean, elongated line. This design choice offers a more modern, relaxed drape that pairs beautifully with everything from leggings to jeans, moving away from a sporty cut towards a casual-lounge aesthetic.
✔ Practical Cotton-Polyester Blend: The fabric mix delivers the best of both worlds: the soft, breathable feel of cotton with the durability, shape retention, and easy wash-and-wear care of polyester.
✔ The Empty Reference on "Wearable Tenderness": We craft for the softer moments. The plush blend and hoodie form are the "comfort"—the physical sanctuary. The poodle and lace heart are the "whisper"—the personal symbol, the quiet story worn close to the heart. It’s cozy, with a purpose.

🎀 Design Details: A Closer Look

The Graphic as a Keepsake: The combination of the poised poodle and intricate lace creates a motif that feels both classic and contemporary. It appeals to dog lovers, vintage enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates a detail that carries emotional weight.

The Silhouette as Modern Ease: The dropped hem is a key stylistic differentiator. It provides a more fashion-forward, less athletic shape that feels intentional and relaxed, perfect for the ethos of elevated loungewear or casual street style.

The Fabric as Everyday Luxury: The blend prioritizes a soft hand-feel that is inviting against the skin, while ensuring the hoodie maintains its shape and color wash after wash, making it a reliable staple.

👖 Styling Your Soft Armor

This hoodie is the ultimate comfort piece that carries its own style narrative.

The Elevated Lounge Set: Pair with matching soft pink or heather grey joggers or leggings for the perfect coordinated, at-home or running-errands ensemble that’s put-together yet supremely comfortable.

The Casual Contrast: Wear with classic blue denim jeans (either skinny or straight-leg) and clean white sneakers. The sweetness of the hoodie contrasts perfectly with the ruggedness of denim for a balanced, everyday look.

The Layered Dream: Use it as a cozy mid-layer under a long, open wool coat or a utility-style jacket in a neutral color like beige, olive, or denim. Let the hood and a peek of the pink fabric add a soft, textural element to your outerwear.

Its Natural Habitat: Coffee shop mornings, weekend errands, cozy evenings in, travel days, casual gatherings with friends, or any moment that calls for uncompromising comfort with a touch of personal poetry.
