The word “hoodie” came to us from the West, it is a derivative of the English hood - hood. This sweater is not just a sports sweater, not an sweatshirt, not a sweatshirt. Its distinctive feature is the hood and the absence of any fasteners. The hoodie needs to be put on over the head, and its cut resembles an anorak jacket: it is often decorated with the same large pocket in the front and elastic bands along the hood.

The world first saw a hoodie in the middle of the last century. Claire McCardell, the designer who came up with this sweater, presented her creation at one of the fashion shows in the USA. In the late 70s, the popularity of hip-hop culture grew among the youth of New York, and with it the hoodie, which was worn by blacks from the criminal areas of the city.
However, the rise of hoodie fashion is associated with fashion designer Norma Kamali, who made it the main element in one of her collections. Interest in high fashion among ordinary city residents has done its job: the hoodie has turned from “highly specialized” clothing into an everyday wardrobe item.

Another notable event was the premiere of the film “Rocky,” which was released in 1976.The charismatic Sylvester Stallone, who played a boxer, demonstrated how flawlessly a hoodie can fit on an athletic, muscular body. We remember how successful the film and everything connected with it was, so the increased popularity of such a hooded sweater at that time is understandable.
Today, hoodies are present in the wardrobe of not only athletes or young people. It is worn regardless of age and social status by those who value comfort and an active lifestyle.

To sew a hoodie, use fleece, footer or thick knitwear (most often velsoft). An insulated option is a sweater with a fur lining. The cut is usually straight and elongated, but among young girls today short models that barely cover the waist are popular.
This clothing is considered universal. It can be combined with different wardrobe items, but the most common combinations are with jeans or sweatpants. Overall, the hoodie is ideal for creating simple everyday looks. It suits people of different builds; moreover, its loose fit is appreciated by expectant mothers (it is very convenient to hide a growing belly from the wind and cold under such a warm jacket).
However, it is important to choose the model wisely. A hoodie should not be tight to the torso, but a super-voluminous, sometimes shapeless “potato sack” is not suitable for everyone. Ideal, as always, is the golden mean, when the sweater does not hinder movement and emphasizes the advantages of the figure.

There are many varieties of hoodies, but all models can be divided into two large groups - men's and women's. They have approximately the same cut, all the differences are related to colors, decor and sizes.Men's models are more restrained, while women's models are sometimes bright; you can often see decorations on them: rhinestones, unusual prints or plastic elements.
The hoodie dress looks interesting. This is a truly feminine option, which is sewn from thin knitwear. The hem can be slightly wider towards the bottom or completely straight. By the way, there is also a very light version of this dress with a hood for the beach. For its manufacture, linen, cotton or thin synthetic materials are used.
In addition, children's hoodies are very common today. It is practically no different from an adult, except that the colors may be brighter and more carefree.
