The Hoodie is Haute

Ways to Wear a Hoodie

Some designers such as Gucci, Tom Ford and Bottega Veneta showed hoodies in their spring Collections. Fashionable colors are navy, gray, black or charcoal. They are versatile and can be worn with most colors.

Fabric: The fabric of the hoodie affects how it feels, how it drapes, and how easy to care for. Cashmere or merino wool, cotton and kinitted styles are soft. You can wear a hoodie anywhere. Wear to the office or on a brisk walk.
