Three ways to wear a hoodie
Simple but effective ways to weave the most casual piece in your wardrobe into your everyday outfits
In today’s increasingly forgiving and more casual world, the hoodie has become everyone’s go-to guy – garnering affection from the fashion crowd and beyond, particularly in this awkward, in-between weather. The reluctance to ditch our new best friend is palpable, but fear not, here are three ways to continue wearing your hoodie every day.
1.
Hi-low outfits
The very definition of smart casual is a hoodie and a suit; the mixture of the low-key paired with a timeless two-piece makes for the perfect combination for the new season. Pick neutral tones for the hoodie – blue, grey and black – and wear with a lightweight linen suit. If suits aren't your thing, try a blazer, hoodie and jeans for a more pared back look.
2.
Loud and proud
There’s no time like the present to throw caution to the wind. Always the bridesmaid, why not experiment with colours, patterns and logos – go for a boxy shape and wear it with pared back neutrals – so that it has its day for a change. Try Paul Smith, AllSaints and Levi’s.
3.
Lightweight layering, revisited
If you’d prefer to keep your hoodie under the radar, look at zip-down lightweight versions made from cotton or jersey that you can build on for a simple, but effective layered look.
