Cool Fashion Blog

The hoodie has been cast in the role of pantomime villain in lurid tabloid headlines of the past, but it’s rapidly becoming a fashion staple, combining cool urban-inspired prints with the handy practicality of being warm and keeping the rain off your hair.
We live in a fashion world where dressing down can now be just as tough to get right as dressing up for a big night out, with street fashion all around us nowadays and a host of major brands offering bold and refreshing styles.
Sport and music stars such as Jessie Jay and Rio Ferdinand have honed the look to perfection, with an eclectic mix of retro cool, colour combinations and brand fetishism – and the hoodie is a key part of the look.
Part of the appeal is versatility, ranging from Sean Combs and Kanye West rocking old skool trefoil emblazoned Adidas hoodies under denim jackets to David Beckham sporting his hoodie under a crisp blazer for a more preppy look.
You can choose to keep it simple with a smart logo from Nike or Voi if that’s your style or enjoy a bold blast of colour from Bench or G Star RAW if you want to stand out from the crowd.
When the weather turns cold, layering becomes a key look once again and this is where the hoodie proves unbeatable, combining practicality with comfort and style.
Adding further weight to the argument that the hoodie is now a true fashion heavyweight is the fact that they are capable of influencing major trends. The recent influx of varsity-inspired track style Superdry hoodies made up a large part of the vintage preppy look, with retro Harvard, NYU and UCLA print hoodies particularly popular.
Adaptable to a variety of looks, from relaxing sporting legend to preppy vintage, from fashion leader to regular Joe, there’s a hoodie out there for whatever look to choose to adopt.
The classic look of hoodie, baggy jeans and hi-top trainers was inspired by New York skate and hip hop scenes of the 1980s and 1990s. You can’t go wrong with old skool footwear such as Converse trainers or hi-tops from adidas or Pineapple and jeans from cutting edge brands such as Superdry, G Star RAW and Firetrap.
Try combining your hoodie with tracksuit bottoms or sweat pants from the likes of Nike, Demo or Bench if you want a sporty style. Fashion doesn’t come any more comfortable than this.
Complete the look with a pair of high fashion headphones that keep you cutting edge while letting you enjoy your music on the move.
