Hoodies - a hot new fashion trend
No, it’s not a bunch of juvenile delinquents or leftovers from an old West Side Story play. “Hoodies” are the season’s hot new fashion trend, pioneered by urban music artists who wear them even in the summer.
Young people were the first to start wearing them but they’ve now spread through all elements of society and marketers are all over the trend pitching them to everyone from soccer moms to business types.
With chilly temeratures again in the air, hoodies, or hooded sweat shirts, are everywhere, in bright colors and with bold designs celebrating everything from rock ‘n roll and hip hop to religion. Many of the hoodies have the same design as seen on trendy T-Shirts that have become fashionstatements for warmer weather.
When buying a hoodie, most people generally get a size larger than normal, to accomodate the layered look.
But no matter that the style, hoodies are in, replacing old fashioned sweatshirts for style consious casual clothes wearers.
