How And When To Wear Hoodies

Hoodies can be a major favourite for a lot of blokes, but many either choose the wrong hoody, or wear them at the wrong times. There are for more styles of hoody than many people realise.

This guide will help you pick the perfect hoody for you and decide which style to wear when.

Graphic hoodies

For true casualwear there is nothing quite as comfortable as a hoody. Graphic hoodies are a great choice for when youre just relaxing, but you still need to put some thought into the purchase of your hoody.

First off its important that you get a hoody that is a perfect fit. One that is too baggy or too tight will make you look bigger, and will not be as comfortable. If youre not sure what size to buy then make sure you measure yourself. If youre a bigger bloke and wear big mens sizes then choose a specialist retailer who can offer you a hoody that fits well and looks great.

Graphic hoodies can be a great way to show off your sense of humour, opt for a hoody with a funny slogan or picture to show you like to have fun. There are many brands who specialise in funny hoodies.

You could also pick a bright hoody with a graphic detail, but if you do then dont wear it with clashing colours. You can still be stylish in casualwear. Make sure you care for bright clothing very carefully or it can soon look washed out and tired.

Designer hoodies

It can be well worth investing in a designer hoody if you want to look smart as well as being comfortable. There are many big brands that offer a variety of hoodies in different colours and styles, and you can often get a great quality big brand hoody at a reasonable price.

Plain hoodies

A plain hoody is a good choice if you want another piece to be the focus of your outfit, or if you want a versatile hoody thatyou can wear with anything. Alternatively you can choose a plain hoody in a bright colour to add a fun twist to your look without an actual slogan.

Zip through hoodies

A zip through hoody is an alternative style thats perfect if youre not keen on pull on hoodies. Just layer up like you would with a cardigan for a stylish casual outfit. Mens zip-through hoodies are the perfect choice for casualwear. Like pull-on hoodies these come in a variety of styles and are really easy to wear. Just make sure you get the right fit, and pick your favourite style.

Smarter hoodies

Believe it or not it is possible to wear a hoody and still look smart, it all comes down to just a few considerations.
1) The material
2) The cut
3) The colour
4) The fit

If youre looking for a slightly smarter hoody then opt for knitted styles over sweatshirt type material. Natural fibres like wool are ideal for getting a country inspired look thats a little smarter than the usual

In terms of cut a smart hoody shouldnt be too baggy and should be quite slim fitting. Avoid styles with a bulky waistband. Choose dark colours like brown, grey or black for a smart/ casual look thats seriously comfortable.
