hood
A head covering attached to a piece of clothing, such as a jacket or sweater, that can be pulled over the head for protection from wind or rain.
Als es anfing zu regnen, zog sie die Kapuze ihres Mantels auf.
When it started to rain, she put up the hood of her coat.
Typical verbs related to head movement are used with 'Kapuze' (hood). You can 'die Kapuze aufsetzen' (put the hood on), 'die Kapuze absetzen' (take the hood off), or 'die Kapuze über den Kopf ziehen' (pull the hood over your head).
Als der Wind stärker wurde, habe ich meine Kapuze aufgesetzt.
When the wind got stronger, I put my hood up.
'Kapuze' (hood) is the base word for very common items of clothing such as 'Kapuzenpullover' (hooded sweatshirt, often also called a 'hoodie') or 'Kapuzenjacke' (hooded jacket).
An kalten Tagen trage ich am liebsten meinen gemütlichen Kapuzenpullover.
On cold days, I prefer to wear my cozy hoodie.
To describe a piece of clothing that has a hood, the preposition 'mit' (with) is used very often. The structure is: item of clothing + 'mit Kapuze' (with a hood).
Ich suche einen Regenmantel mit abnehmbarer Kapuze.
I'm looking for a raincoat with a detachable hood.

'der Hut' and 'die Kapuze' both have to do with the head and protection from the weather. A 'Hut', however, is a separate item of clothing that you put on and take off again. A 'Kapuze' belongs to a jacket, coat, or sweater and is attached to it. Learners may confuse the words because both can cover the head. A practical tip: if it is worn on its own, it is more likely a 'Hut'. If it is sewn onto clothing and you pull it up, it is a 'Kapuze'.
Bei starkem Regen hat er die Kapuze seiner Jacke hochgezogen.
In the heavy rain, he pulled up the hood of his jacket.
Nach dem Unterricht kaufe ich im Supermarkt einen Hut für die Klassenfahrt.
After class, I buy a hat at the supermarket for the class trip.
