Hoodies are a great sweater to easily put on on your back without a problem and the benefits of such a clothing item it is that it keeps your warm during those harsh cold moments and it fights against frostbites. This blog post will go deeper and explain the history of the hoodie and five ways men can style such colorful hoodies in a cool manner.

Origins of the hoodie

According to a blog post by the Iffley Road, accessible via this link – https://www.iffleyroad.com/blogs/journal/a-brief-history-of-the-hoodie , tells us that this hoodie which is a sweatshirt that has its roots in sports and fashion, first appeared in the12th century and was known as the first hooded garments. Hooded garments date back to medieval Europe and were worn by monks with tunics called cowls and the outdoor workers wore capes with hoodies known as chaperon.

The word “Hood” derives from the Anglo Saxon word “Hod” which was the same root as the word hat. The hooded sweatshirts were founded first in 1930 and looking at that time, the American company called Champion discovered the first hoodie and the company made sweatshirts once it had the material to sew. This hoods were added as Sweatshirts to keep the New Yorkers warm during those harsh winter seasons. From there, the hoodie made its first iconic appearance during a TV drama set in Philadelphia and from there 1970s hoodies were added to colleges, universities and in fashion with New York Fashion and Hip Hop culture rising through the sweatshirts in 1970.

In 1970 the hooded sweatshirts in universities were being emblazoned by the students and that is where we see nowadays the basketball hoodies with varsity names printed on the hoodies.

5 ways to style colorful hoodies

1. Wear them by themselves with jeans and sneakers

This is one way to wear a hoodie that is bright in color and radiation by wearing it on it’s own. Hoodies are one of those sweaters or sweatshirts you can wear alone because they are one of a kind cloth you can wear anywhere and if you like casual wear , hoodies should no doubt be on the hit list for items to wear and even buy. If you want to style a hoodie simple as ABC, I suggest you opt for colorful ones such as white, yellow , green, brown and other lighter tones because they showcase your element of coolness and with jeans and sneakers or boots if the weather is a bit stiffy and frosty, the final product becomes ideal which you can wear on a cold day or chill day or even when heading out to meet with friends on a casual weekend.

2. Wear them with chino pants and loafers

This is for the smart casual style to pop off nicely. Chino trousers are smart casual pants that offer a great upgrade over jeans or denim. These pants are ideal for summer events and outdoor functions and even on a cold day, these pants are ideal for dressing sharp yet casually with hoodies since hoodies are a casual garment by nature without looking too dressier or overdressed. Chino pants are versatile for its functionality and practicality as you can dress them up or down depending on where you are going to. To dress a bit elegant smart casually, bring in loafers for footwear since they are sharp shoe that can spark an outfit but if the weather becomes cold, wear Chelsea Boots to still look dressed up.

3. Wear them with shorts and sneakers

This is another way to look cool and sophisticated as a stylish man for hot weather situations and that is wear the colorful hood with the shorts made from linen or cotton fabrics. Shorts in linen or cotton fabrics are perfect for this type of dress code because they match with the hood and add some style to your casual wear. The khakis or shorts known as cargo shorts d do any justice in my view of styling a man’s wardrobe to look dashing and cool. Sneakers such as all white all birds are okay here but eschew wearing shoes like flip flops or branded shoes with lots of designs because it just confuses the casual style. In my view, given that the hoodie is colorful, wear a solid color for both your shorts and shoes, it looks very crisp and cool in my perspective.

4. Wear them with bomber jackets, sports jackets and chinos/jeans for layering purposes

To create a layered look for those bitter winter days, bring in bomber jackets in solid colors such as brown, blue and black. This is done to ensure that the style doesn’t shun away from the goal which is to look casual and cool, a bomber jacket or puffer jacket as others call it in generic must be dressed casually with casual sweaters like hoodies, baseball crews necks, v necks sweater and cardigans. The jacket is added on to ensure warmth is applied and hoodies on its own provide a layer of warmth plus they are affordable in the market. Sports jackets are a blazer like type of jacket and they come in a variety of patterns and fabrics, the old ones are made from tweeds and are ideal for layering. A hoodie plus a sports jacket plus chinos or jeans and boots (even those casual duck boots) leads to a cool casual ensemble guaranteed to kick the colds out of the way.

5. Wear them with a solid overcoat

One last way to look cool casually yet warm at the same time, it is to invest in a solid overcoat . Solid coats are those with plain colors such as black and blue. An overcoat is defined as a warm coat worn over indoor clothing. A hoodie is an example of an indoor hoodie which can be layered with the coat and then craft a casual ensemble easy piece. Here, the pants can be jeans or chinos and for footwear, add boots for cold weather.
