The hoodie - a street and trendy piece at the same time

The men's sweatshirt has managed to remain a reference garment throughout its existence of more than a century, but has regularly changed image and audience over time. Today, the hoodie is a true icon of fashion and streetwear, for all ages and genders. Crewneck sweatshirts, hoodies, men's zip-up sweatshirts... there is a wide variety of different sweatshirt models and styles. In this article, Project x Paris, the reference store for streetwear clothing, reveals its buying guide and tips for stylishly wearing a hoodie.

The hoodie – history of a garment with a changing image. While the hoodie is now a streetwear staple, adopted and accepted by a wide audience, its image has evolved greatly throughout its history. Created in the 1920s, the sweatshirt was initially, as its name suggests, a garment intended for "sweating," worn either by workers or athletes. For example, Mohammed Ali helped popularize the men's sweatshirt, giving it the image of a boxers' piece. Later in the 20th century, the sweatshirt (hooded or not) was gradually adopted by students, then by a more bourgeois class, before becoming the mainstream streetwear garment we know today.

Men’s zip-up sweatshirt – Advantages of this streetwear piece. The hoodie has become so widespread because this garment offers many advantages. For example, a women’s hoodie is an especially comfortable piece. Sweatshirts stand out notably for their ability to retain heat, making them highly sought after in winter or spring. But that’s not all, as many people appreciate the variety of styles a men's sweatshirt offers. It can be paired with all kinds of pants or shoes, allowing you to adopt different styles according to your preferences.
