Mens Hoodies - Can they ever look good?

[Lovin_It]

I am thinking probably they can do. They would have to be worn with jeans and training shoes. Just wondered what your thoughts were? On the contrary I think they never look good on girls (unless perhaps at the gym)

The first is £7 (Ted Baker); the second £40 (Box fresh)

yeah i've never seen a girl who looks good on them
I think it's nice when it's a little baggy on a guy than tight
Kind of makes them look bigger maybe

hoodies are a staple. maybe thats just because I am a college student, but I really don't think they look bad on anyone

 

[oceanharlot]

hoodies look good on anyone, no, make that everyone IMO. girls, guy, pooches even. arms scrunched up, pulled low over the hands, hoods up, lined, zipped up, left open, half zipped, worn backwards, under jackets, alone... easiest and most transitional garment to wear ever.

My friend bought a huge hoodie from a mens shop (shes a girl btw) and it looks amazing on her. They are so nice to wear around the house or even out...

Hoodies got to have the right fit to make someone look good. So many hoodies come in weird sizes and that's when people look weird wearing them.

I'm into street fashion and also work in this area. I have various hoodies from different countries here and while an H&M hoodie in L makes me look good the L hoodie from an american Footlocker looks just not right (way too wide for me).

The problem is finding the right fit and also finding the right design that has this fit. Well at least that's my idea why some people just don't look as well in hoodies as they could.

You guys convinced me

yer personally i love to wear them theyre just so comfortable to wear. and you dont have to stick to wearing just grey or black hoods you can get printed ones and colourful ones to make your outfit rather than just something you threw over to keep you warm :]

 

[uhdinger]

just a little thing from the "streetwear scene" hoodies are "so 2006" now crewnecks and regular sweatshirts are "cool".

but who cares

 

[Lovin_It]

- I agree Uhdinger - if it is last season so what - if they work they work!

Especially if its such a basic item like a hoodie. I realized flying with a hoodie is absolutely awesome. I fly a lot and the hood is perfect to sleep in and to make it dark around you. In my opinion it is also way more comfortable than one of these eye masks. Try it

Hoodies will never go out of style, as long as they fit right and are classic.

Personally, I like mine well worn in, very soft, and fitted to a degree without being too tight.

I love AA hoodies. They fit well, come in many colours, and are fairly inexpensive.
I have the 'california pullover' in white and black, and the polka dot in black. I'm also eyeing the striped ones.

 

[uhdinger]

I just don't like AA that much because its like H&M mass produced and chances are high that you run into someone wearing the same.

I'm in love with hoodies from Aeropostale. They're so comfortable. Especially walking to class!

Suggestion: This thread's title should be changed to "Hoodies," because I don't think we've got a general topic covering that yet.

I purchased a grey hoodie from Disneyland a couple years ago and rarely take it off. I don't know why I love it so, since it's not too warm/cozy. I guess it's just the Disney factor!

hoodies are like sex.

^ I'm intrigued...do tell.

i think the hoodie looks good under a leather jacket or blazer...
the jackets i mentionned might be tight for a girl...
the hoodie is very casual, so maybe for girls it's good to make it work with access. but not too much...
