WHY STREETWEAR HOODIES ARE A 2020 WARDROBE ESSENTIAL 

Hoodies Are Perfect For Any Situation

A hoodie is great for both loungewear and activewear, but to many traditional designers surprise,  in 2019, the hoodie also managed to make its way onto the fashion week runway decorated with diamonds. The entry of the street-wear style into the designer scene marked a significant change as to what was universally accepted to be high-fashion. High-end designers such as Gucci have now incorporated a street-wear element into some of their most recent lines, creating a whole new element to the classic hoodie look which can be worn in any situation. 

Good hoodies are always in season, there is no wrong time to wear a hoodie. They are such a popular item of clothing to wear year-round and for any situation, and event you may have to attend. You can wear custom hoodies at any time whether you are traveling, going to any party, for universities/schools or in the comfort of your home. 

Comfort is Key In A Hoodie

There is nothing better than feeling comfortable when you are out and about, from running errands in town to heading out for drinks with friends, feeling comfortable is essential. Hoodies are a clothing item that is very comfortable and cozy, especially those of which have the perfect blend of cotton and polyester. Most people would consider hoodies as a comfortable garment- which is true, but it is much more than that because when styled correctly, you have the chance to look stylish whilst staying comfy.

Unisex Hoodies

Another cool thing about hoodies is the fact that they are mostly unisex! It is not a gender-specific article of clothing and there is no one way to style it- there are literally dozens of dozens of ways to style it and that includes for women and men. It can make you look effortlessly cool. In streetwear, the lines between male and female clothing is certainly blurred and often brands do not offer gender specific lines, simply designing  their clothes to be worn by men and women simultaneously. 

Easy to Style Hoodies

The same hoodie can be styled into so many different looks (you can wear them with almost anything),  just choose one staple good quality hoodie that is versatile and will last! There is certainly no need to spend loads of money on multiple hoodies if you take care of it properly and purchase from a high quality brand. On the other hand, you could also have one or two “go to's”, or even craft an entire closet full of hoodies to change between throughout the year it is totally your preference. 

You can also wear many layers underneath and it won’t be noticeable and it won’t look bad. You could even not be wearing anything underneath and no one would even know! If you want to make your look more creative and styled, then you could pair your hoodie with a really cool pair of trainers and trousers to spice up the whole look. You could even buy yourself an oversized hoodie and pair it with your best pair of heels and it would be the perfect outfit to any cool/dressy event. There really is no right or wrong way to wear them - just throw one on and you’re ready to go! You can play with the weight, the fabric, and the color amongst many other things.
