A hooded sweatshirt, most commonly known as “hoodie” often includes a muff sewn onto the lower front, and most have a drawstring to adjust the hood opening. It became popular in the 1970s. Hip hop culture played a major part in its success when it started developing in New York City, along with the high fashion era.
Hoodies are best to wear when there’s snow outside, or even just a light rain. It’s made of fabric that can protect you from cold, but even if it’s a winter staple, you can also wear it when it’s hot outside because its hood can shield your head from direct sunlight. It can be considered as street wear, and from the term itself, you can see people – particularly teenagers and men in their 20s – wear hoodies in the streets. In a nutshell, dancers, skaters and even casual by-standers wear hoodies.
Styling Tips
- Don’t let the brand compromise the quality. Focus on checking the fabric – pure cotton hoodies are durable.
- Pullover designs typically look smarter than zip-up designs.
- Go for a timeless, iconic design in a color that complements your existing wardrobe.
- Choose the ones with minimal prints. Weird and overrated design can ruin your style.
- When wearing a hoodie, the most suitable footwear option are trainers
- For cheering up the look, you can add jackets and coats. Layering is a great option with hoodies, especially in Winters.
- You can always add slim fit jeans in the mix and make the look even more steezy.
- Don’t hesitate in being yourself and creating your own style.
- When it’s super cold, hoodies look and work in a super-awesome way when worn as undershirts. You can just layer over them with another jacket, as we’ll be showing you in our today’s looks.
