It’s the security blanket of the menswear world and should be treasured as such.Īt its core, the hoodie is a piece of sportswear, and there are few brands that know how to do that better than Nike. If the onesie is, to be frank, something no man should be seen dead or alive wearing, the hoodie is the next best thing for feeling wrapped up. But that’s not really what the hoodie is about. But it does mean that there’s scope for the hoodie to at least step towards respectability.Īs with so many things, the more attention that is paid to quality – the best hoodies come in a heavyweight, all-cotton fabric, with reverse weave and loop-wheel manufacturer all helping to raise standards – the greater the potential the garment has for smartness.


This doesn’t mean you should start to wear a hoodie over a dress shirt or with dress pants (think, rather, dark wash jeans or chinos). At the other end there is the dark, trim-fitting, plain hoodie, which is sleek and presentable. But there are degrees: at one end there’s the sloppy, slightly outsized faded and printed hoodie that’s fine for slumbering on the sofa or popping to the pub on a Sunday. It’s not in any way formal and, unlike a sweatshirt, is hard to even dress up under a sports jacket. Today’s hoodie is still definitely a casual garment.
