⚡ Quick Answer
A zip up unicorn hoodie for girls is a front-zip sweatshirt with unicorn-themed design — hood with ears, pastel or rainbow colours, and unicorn horn or mane detailing. At JusCubs, the Girls Unicorn Zip-Up Sweatshirt is available in the Young Girls (4Y–12Y) Sweatshirts, Jackets & Hoodies collection in sizes 4–5Y through 10–12Y — soft cotton-blend fabric, skin-safe dyes, delivered across Delhi NCR and pan India.
What Is a Unicorn Zip Up Hoodie for Girls?
A zip up unicorn hoodie is a hooded sweatshirt with a full-length front zipper and unicorn-themed design details. It is one of the most searched kids' clothing items in India — particularly for girls aged 4 to 10 — because it combines practical, warm layering with the fantasy and colour that young girls are drawn to.
The design elements that define a girls' unicorn zip up hoodie are: a hood with attached unicorn ears, a horn detail at the top of the hood, pastel or rainbow colour palette (pink, lavender, mint, gold), and either a printed or embroidered mane or face on the back or front of the garment. Most zip up unicorn hoodies also feature a kangaroo pocket or side pockets and ribbed cuffs.
The zip-front design specifically — as opposed to a pullover unicorn sweatshirt — is what makes this garment the most practical version for school-age girls. A full-length zip allows a child to put the hoodie on and take it off independently, makes it easy to adjust for temperature, and means the hood can be worn down without the garment needing to come off entirely.
At JusCubs, the complete range of girls unicorn sweatshirts and zip hoodies is available in the Young Girls (4Y–12Y) Sweatshirts, Jackets & Hoodies collection.

Unicorn Zip Up Hoodie vs Unicorn Sweatshirt: Key Differences
Parents searching for a unicorn sweatshirt or a zip up unicorn hoodie are often choosing between two distinct garment types. Here is the exact difference:
| Feature | Zip Up Unicorn Hoodie | Unicorn Sweatshirt (Pullover) |
|---|---|---|
| Front closure | Full-length zip | No zip — pull over head |
| Hood | Yes — with unicorn ears | Yes — with unicorn ears |
| Ease of dressing | Very easy — zip open/close | Requires pulling over head |
| Layering versatility | High — open zip for ventilation | Lower — all or nothing |
| Warmth | Good — slight draft at zip | Better — no zip draft |
| Independent dressing | Ideal for ages 4+ | Suitable for ages 5+ |
| Best for | School, outdoor play, commutes | Home, lounging, winter indoors |
| JusCubs collection | Young Girls Sweatshirts & Hoodies | Young Girls Sweatshirts & Hoodies |
Which one to buy: For a girl aged 4–8 who is in school or playschool, the zip up unicorn hoodie is the more practical choice — it can be put on and removed independently and functions as a layering piece throughout the school day. For a girl who wants a cosy, warm garment primarily for home or weekend use, the unicorn sweatshirt pullover is the better option.
Girls Unicorn Hoodies Size Chart India
Sizing a zip up unicorn hoodie or unicorn sweatshirt for girls requires checking both height and chest measurements. Hoodies and sweatshirts should have at least 4–6 cm of ease over the chest measurement to allow comfortable arm movement and layering over a T-shirt underneath.
| JusCubs Size | Age | Height (cm) | Chest (cm) | Sleeve Length (cm) | Hoodie Length (cm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4–5Y | ~4–5 yrs | 104–110 | 56–60 | 36–40 | 42–46 |
| 5–6Y | ~5–6 yrs | 110–116 | 58–62 | 40–44 | 46–50 |
| 6–7Y | ~6–7 yrs | 116–122 | 62–66 | 44–48 | 50–54 |
| 7–8Y | ~7–8 yrs | 122–128 | 64–68 | 48–52 | 54–58 |
| 8–9Y | ~8–9 yrs | 128–134 | 66–70 | 52–56 | 58–62 |
| 9–10Y | ~9–10 yrs | 134–140 | 68–74 | 56–60 | 62–66 |
| 10–12Y | ~10–12 yrs | 140–152 | 74–80 | 60–66 | 66–72 |
💡 Sizing tip for zip up unicorn hoodies: If your daughter is between two sizes or you want the hoodie to fit loosely over a winter inner layer, size up one label. A unicorn zip up hoodie bought one size up will still look intentional — the oversized hoodie silhouette is a deliberate style for girls aged 6–12.

What to Look for When Buying a Girls Unicorn Zip Up Hoodie
There are six factors that determine whether a zip up unicorn hoodie is worth buying or not. Here is what to check:
1. Fabric composition The best girls unicorn hoodies are made from a cotton-blend or 100% cotton fleece — not polyester. Cotton regulates temperature better in India's climate, is softer against the skin, and does not cause static. For children with sensitive skin in cities like Delhi where air quality is a concern, cotton-blend fabrics reduce skin irritation significantly compared to synthetic alternatives.
2. Zip quality The zipper on a unicorn zip up hoodie takes more stress than any other part of the garment — it is opened and closed dozens of times a week by a child who may not be careful with it. Look for a smooth-running, sturdy zip with a large pull tab that a child's fingers can grip easily. A zip that snags at the top or bottom will make the garment unwearable within weeks.
3. Hood structure The unicorn ears and horn on the hood must be securely stitched — not glued. Glued embellishments detach with the first wash. The hood itself should be wide enough to sit comfortably over the head without pressing on the ears, and deep enough to stay up during outdoor play without falling forward over the face.
4. Print and colour durability The unicorn print, mane detail, or face graphic on the sweatshirt body should be done with reactive dyes or screen printing that holds colour through repeated washing. Check that the brand uses skin-safe, non-toxic dyes — particularly important for garments worn close to the skin by children.
5. Cuff and hem construction Ribbed cuffs and hem keep warmth in and prevent the sleeves from riding up during play. For a unicorn sweatshirt, the ribbed waistband also prevents the garment from riding up when a girl raises her arms — a common fit problem in lower-quality kids' sweatshirts.
6. Pocket placement A kangaroo pocket (single wide pocket at the front) or two side pockets — both standard on quality zip up unicorn hoodies — should be deep enough to be functional. A pocket that is too shallow is a design detail only, not a functional feature. Pockets matter for school-age girls who use them to keep small items during recess.
Women's Unicorn Sweatshirt: Can Adults Wear Kids Sizing?
Parents and older siblings searching for a women's unicorn sweatshirt or unicorn sweatshirt women sometimes consider buying from the kids' range — either to match a younger sibling or because adult unicorn sweatshirts can be harder to find in India.
The practical answer: Women with a smaller frame — typically chest 74–82 cm and height 150–162 cm — can wear the 10–12Y label from JusCubs' Young Girls collection. The chest and sleeve measurements at 10–12Y (chest 74–80 cm, sleeve 60–66 cm) fall within the lower end of an XS adult fit.
What is different in kids vs women's sizing:
| Feature | Kids 10–12Y | Women's XS–S |
|---|---|---|
| Chest | 74–80 cm | 80–88 cm |
| Torso length | 66–72 cm | 58–65 cm (cropped) / 65–72 cm (regular) |
| Hip | 73–80 cm | 85–94 cm |
| Shoulder width | 33–36 cm | 36–40 cm |
| Sleeve length | 60–66 cm | 58–64 cm |
The key differences: Kids' unicorn sweatshirts have a straighter cut with no hip flare — they do not accommodate adult hip measurements above 82 cm comfortably. The shoulder seam sits slightly narrower than in women's sizing. For women above a small frame, a true adult-sized women's unicorn sweatshirt will provide a better fit.
For girls aged 4–12, however, the Young Girls (4Y–12Y) Sweatshirts, Jackets & Hoodies range at JusCubs is the correct destination.
Girls Unicorn Hoodies for Indian Weather: Season Guide
A girls unicorn hoodie or unicorn sweatshirt is a seasonal garment in India. Here is exactly when and how to use it across North India's climate:
October–November (Early Winter, Delhi NCR) Temperature range: 15–25°C. The zip up unicorn hoodie worn over a full-sleeve T-shirt is the ideal combination. The zip allows quick ventilation when temperature rises mid-afternoon. This is the most comfortable window for unicorn hoodies as the primary outer layer.
December–January (Peak Winter, Delhi NCR) Temperature range: 5–15°C. The unicorn sweatshirt or hoodie functions best as a mid-layer — worn over a thermal or full-sleeve inner and under a padded jacket or coat on the coldest days. Pairing with Young Girls Pajamas & Leggings or Young Girls Trackpants & Joggers completes a warm, comfortable winter outfit.
February–March (Late Winter, Delhi NCR) Temperature range: 12–22°C. The zip up unicorn hoodie returns as a standalone outer layer as temperatures begin rising. The zip front is especially useful in this transitional period — open during warmer afternoon hours, zipped during cooler mornings and evenings.
April–September (Summer & Monsoon, Delhi NCR) Not suitable as an outdoor garment in peak summer. However, a lightweight unicorn sweatshirt is practical for air-conditioned environments — schools, malls, restaurants, and cars in Delhi, Noida, and Gurugram maintain very low AC temperatures even in June and July. Many parents buy a unicorn hoodie specifically for AC environments during summer months.
How to Wash a Girls Unicorn Zip Up Hoodie
Improper washing is the primary reason unicorn print details fade and hood embellishments detach prematurely. Follow these steps to preserve both the garment and the design:
Step 1 — Turn inside out. Always wash a zip up unicorn hoodie or unicorn sweatshirt inside out. This protects the outer print and any embroidered or appliqué unicorn details from abrasion inside the washing machine drum.
Step 2 — Zip closed. Close the zip fully before washing. An open zip can snag on other garments and the zip teeth can catch on the drum, causing permanent damage to both the zip and the fabric.
Step 3 — Cold or 30°C gentle cycle. Hot water causes the cotton fibres to shrink and the print dyes to bleed. Use a cold or 30°C gentle/delicate cycle for all unicorn hoodies and sweatshirts.
Step 4 — Mild detergent, no bleach. Use a mild liquid detergent. Avoid powder detergents that may not dissolve fully at low temperatures and can leave residue on the print. Never use bleach — it destroys both the fabric and the print dyes.
Step 5 — Air dry flat or low tumble dry. Do not wring. Lay the hoodie flat on a clean surface to dry, or hang it from the body (not the hood) to prevent the hood from stretching out of shape. If using a tumble dryer, use the lowest heat setting.
Step 6 — Iron inside out only. Never iron directly on the unicorn print or hood embellishments. If ironing is needed, turn the garment inside out and iron the reverse side only, or place a cotton cloth between the iron and the garment.
