The hoodie: a streetwear garment that combines elegance and comfort
In 2022, the hoodie is everywhere and appreciated by many. Although originally designed for sports use, it quickly evolved. It is a garment worn both at home, deep in bed, and in everyday life. With its casual look, it is totally in tune with the fashion of late 2022. It was introduced into the fashion world with the recent streetwear movements.
The history of the hoodie The first traces of the hoodie date back to the 1990s. It was created in the United States, called "hoodie," initially designed for workers in refrigerated warehouses in New York. It was quickly adopted by boxers worldwide, notably because personalities like Mohamed Ali wore it. It then spread rapidly among students, emblazoned with their university logo, worn proudly as a sign of belonging.
It was then adopted by the hip-hop movement in the 70s and very quickly also became a symbol of gangs.
Its image was degraded at that time; it took until around the 1990s for avant-garde major brands like Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger to introduce it into fashion. Little by little, this changed the dimension in which this garment was placed, and the bad publicity it had received was quickly forgotten.
The hoodie: a true fashion trend garment? How to wear it while staying chic? Like streetwear clothes, the hoodie benefits from the highlight of this trend. Moreover, looking at the 2021-2022 trends, we see a real return to basics, a return to simple, clean, and classic clothing.
We can also observe the trending colors. Subtle colors with a "pastel" effect are totally in fashion at the end of 2022. Whether beige, broken gray, khaki green, or plum purple.
We advise you to wear only one primary or one secondary color for your hoodie and pair it with one or two black or white garments.
Speaking of trends, it is a garment that pairs perfectly with sneakers.
The shoe called "sneakers," like the hoodie, benefited from streetwear movements to make its place in fashion.
In 2022, sporty-looking clothes are almost unanimously accepted, notably through the streetwear trend. This style is adopted worldwide and in all circles. Moreover, it is worn by many celebrities, athletes, in the luxury world, and also in the student world. Hard to get better publicity.
For the look to wear the hoodie with class, we advise you to wear a jacket or a vest to highlight your upper body. For the lower body, a pair of sneakers you like will spotlight the chino pants or the jeans you have chosen. There is also the zipped hoodie to vary your streetwear outfits.
