What is a hoodie ?
The hoodie is a garment that originated in the United States. Across the Channel, the hoodie for men was first called a "Hooded Sweatshirt", which literally means "hooded sweatshirt", and this is the name hoodies are known by in France. Often made of cotton or a very soft material, the hoodie is a long-sleeved jumper or t-shirt with a hood that is worn when the temperature is low.
Historically, the black hoodie has its roots in American sports culture. The men's hoodie was actually worn by American athletes in the 1930s, and was really only worn by athletes. Today it is a garment used in all strata of society worldwide, and distributed by the biggest brands. It is also available in an infinite number of models: yellow, white, two-tone, with illustration or flocking, etc. .... At Project X Paris, you will find the men's hoodie among our wide range of men's sweatshirts, along with round neck sweatshirts or zip-up sweatshirts.
The hoodie, an essential part of the streetwear look
Comme nous venons de l’évoquer, le hoodie ou sweat à capuche prend ses racines aux Etats Unis dans les années 1930. Aujourd’hui son rôle a bien évolué, et il fait désormais partie intégrante de la culture urbaine mondiale. Véritable symbole du look streetwear, sa présence s’est développée depuis les années 1990, en suivant la montée en puissance du sportswear et du streetwear.
As we have just mentioned, the hoodie has its roots in the United States in the 1930s. Today its role has evolved and it is now an integral part of the world's urban culture. A true symbol of the streetwear look, its presence has grown since the 1990s, following the rise of sportswear and streetwear.
Today, the men's hoodie is an essential piece of streetwear and a strong social marker. Indeed, like any clothing style, the urban style is worn by many young people for identity reasons, and the hoodie is one of the strong symbols of this, just like sneakers for example. The street culture having taken a lot of importance since the beginning of the years 2000, it is thus normal that the hoodie man, that it is a coloured yellow hoodie or a more sober black hoodie, became a best-seller.
The breakthrough of the hoodie in 21st century fashion
Initially worn by young people in popular and urban culture or students looking for everyday comfort, the hoodie then took off when hip-hop, rap and skateboard culture exploded in the late 1990s. The hoodie was then popularised by the big stars of that era, who were no longer afraid to wear casual or streetwear looks, proudly displaying this claim to everyday comfort.
Unsurprisingly, fashion designers took notice, and the black, yellow, blue or multi-coloured hoodie became a trendy wardrobe staple.
Thus, in the 2020s, the men's hoodie is a staple of urban culture, but not only, as it is becoming the norm among young people, even those who do not necessarily claim to be part of this culture. For both men and women, these loose-fitting garments are part of a need for comfort and freedom of movement throughout the day. This breakthrough of streetwear fashion has even profoundly changed the style of dress in the professional field, and it is no longer shocking and even frequent to see workers dressed in a hoodie at the office.
Recently, we have even seen the rise of athleisure, a style of dress based on wearing sportswear to school, work and home. Because of its history and evolution, the hoodie has naturally integrated easily into this new style.
How to wear a hoodie for men ?
If the urban style is nowadays popular and more appreciated for its comfortable and warm aspect, there are however different rules to respect in order to be trendy when wearing your hoodie.
It is therefore legitimate to ask what to wear with your hoodie? It is very simple, the yellow, black, white or other hoodie can be worn over a short-sleeved t-shirt, or even as a jacket during the shoulder season (spring or early autumn). From an accessory point of view, the current trend is to wear the hoodie as a jacket and to accompany it with a shoulder bag. And whatever your accessory (cap, glasses, sc, etc.), it is necessary to match them with your hoodie, which is the main piece of your outfit.
For the bottom, it may depend on the style you are looking for. If you want a casual chic style, you can match it with washed jeans or regular jeans. For a more sporty style and still more comfort, you can wear the hoodie with a jogging suit or a combination of hoodie and jogging bottoms (which will make sure you match).
The hoodie, spend the winter in style
The tips we gave you earlier are more related to the warmer months or even autumn. During the winter, the hoodie will be an important ally, thanks to its hood, its central pocket for the hands and its thick cotton. For this period, we advise you to wear your hoodie in addition to a jacket. The hoodie has the particularity of "going very well with many styles. For an advanced urban look, we advise you to wear the hoodie under a sleeveless down jacket or a bomber. For a more casual look, opt for a slimmer home hoodie, which will go well with a suit jacket or long shirt.
The hoodie for men, beyond the seasons
The hoodie is a must-have in the men's wardrobe for several reasons, including its ability to adapt to all seasons. Indeed, the hoodie can be worn as well in summer with shorts as in winter with a down jacket or a coat. The hoodie can be worn with any combination of clothing you can imagine.
You can choose to go casual in the summer with a hoodie, slightly oversized, with a focus on comfort. In winter, you can opt for an equally casual style that will be mixed with loose-fitting joggers or cargo jeans.
In the mid-season, the hoodie is your most faithful ally, as it can complement any outfit you wish to wear. The hoodie can then be combined with all styles. By pairing it with a chino or dark jeans, you can quickly achieve a casual chic look.
What is the difference between a hoodie and a sweatshirt?
Even if in everyday language it is not easy to distinguish between hoodies and sweatshirts, there is a real difference between these two garments.
First of all, it is important to remember the common points between the hoodie and the sweatshirt. These similarities may be part of the reason why they are confused with each other. Both garments are made mainly of cotton with a collar that is usually round.
The difference is mainly that the sweatshirt has no button to close it, nor a zip. Conversely, the hoodie has a zip and can potentially be closed with a button. In addition, the hoodie has pockets in the front, whereas the sweatshirt does not. Finally, the hoodie must have a hood, hoodies are often referred to as hoodies, but they must have a front pocket and/or be zippered or buttoned.
What to wear with your hoodie?
The hoodie for men, as mentioned throughout this guide, is a really versatile garment that can allow you to wear a sporty, chic or streetwear style.
To sport a hoodie, Project X Paris advises you to combine your hoodie with shorts or jogg pants. This ensemble can be combined with sports shoes.
A chic or casual style with a hoodie is also possible by combining your piece with a chino or dress trousers. You can then combine this outfit with moccasins or tennis shoes.
Finally, for a streetwear style, you can mix the two styles mentioned above by combining the hoodie and the chino with sports shoes or a combination of hoodie and jogging suit with a coat.
Black, yellow, blue, grey, etc... Dare to stand out
The hoodie is an essential part of a man's wardrobe, which is why it can be seen regularly when walking around town. However, you can make a statement by adopting original colours and above all by managing to combine them.
The black hoodie is a classic, which can be combined with all styles, whether it is with a chino, shorts, jogging trousers or dress trousers, the black hoodie can be combined with any outfit, provided of course that you have a black hoodie that remains sober.
