Much has been said about the hoodie in the past year and a half, especially from me. The style has been in heavy rotation in my wardrobe, and I simply can’t think of anything better to wear to any function. From jaunts to the local liquor store to traversing the airport to a night on the town, I’ve been rocking hooded sweatshirts pretty much since I started earning my own coin—way, way, way before we were all required to quarantine. And I’ve been happy to witness the masses doing the same.
It’s not news that everything soft and stretchy has taken over. But as someone that had been rocking the hoodie in the Before Times at all times, I'm a firm believer that it is not just WFH attire. It can totally work for functions that don’t require a Zoom account. Whether it’s a happy hour IRL, or, depending on the vibe, a fancy shindig, hoodies always worked for me. And they can do the same for you. So, if you’re ready to hop on the bandwagon, Amazon has a great selection for a slew of situations. From sporty options meant for runs to sleeker pieces that are perfect to show off in a crowd, check ’em out below.
