It has been one hell of a rollercoaster ride for the hoodie. This menswear staple has been lauded and maligned in equal measure throughout its history. From its humble beginnings in sportswear to its absorption by the urban scene of the early '90s, the hoodie has risen to become a daily staple in many a man's wardrobes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, its latest meteoric rise has been due to the global appeal of streetwear. This is a nod to the history of the garment with its early global fashion popularity being with skateboarders, graffiti artists and hip-hop stars. It was these sub-cultures that saw the hoodie marked with the moniker of being the garment of the disenfranchised youth. With this came connotations of anti-social behaviour and crime. Streetwear has elevated the hoodie though. It has focused on more higher-end fabrics and worked with the fit to modernise whilst remaining true to its roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The hoodie is not only for men looking to embrace streetwear or street-luxe trends. This is only the latest iteration of a menswear staple. Its versatility and comfort mean it is a core piece for both designer and high street brands alike. Depending on your budget, you can shop hoodies in
fabrics such as cotton, merino wool or even cashmere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A greater focus on fabrics and fits has meant the hoodie is more popular than ever. It is functional enough to be worn within a casual weekend environment, but can also be lifted into the cycle of work outfits worn to the office. From TV binges to date nights, the hoodie has the versatility to be seamlessly transitioned into a range of smart or casual looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
