Hooded Sweatshirts

For the ultimate in cool weather casualwear, look no further than the hooded sweatshirt. Found in both the pullover hooded sweatshirt as well as zip hooded sweatshirt form, hoodies are inexpensive, versatile, and easy to care for. They are found in all sorts of styles in most clothing stores and there is a style to suit everybody. They are less costly than jackets, plus having a hood means you are prepared for sudden changes in the weather. This type of clothing is available as a fleece hooded sweatshirt or more commonly a cotton hooded sweatshirt and its variations in design and color are second only to the t-shirt. With all the choices available to the hoodie buyer, it can be helpful to get a general sense of what's out there and what kind of hoodies are appropriate to the individual. With styles ranging from "classic" ones featuring college names and sports teams to the new hip-hop inspired designer hoodies, it's good to be educated on the kinds of hoodies different groups are wearing in order to make a choice that suits you or your loved ones.

For adults, it's probably more fitting to stay with the tried and true styles that have been popular for a long time. As mentioned before, these can include hoodies that feature favorite sports teams and colleges. However, they may also feature brand names and other company names. Of course, some of the best hoodies are the ones that don't say anything at all and are just one solid color. The most common colors are grey, blue, and black, and these are safe choices if you are giving someone a gift (just be sure they don't already have one of the same color!). The gauge of the material is important as well. The heavier materials do a better job of keeping the wearer warm, and will also tend to last longer. Thinner materials may be used to make cheap hooded sweatshirts, although the opposite can also be true as for designer hoodies that are intentionally thin. Some people like to have a heavier gauge hoodie on hand for colder weather and a thinner one for warmer days. Since they are relatively cheap, many people also own multiple hoodies.

There's a lot more choice for what kids can wear because there is such a huge variety of hoodies made for children. For kids, it's more acceptable to wear hoodies that have images of cartoon characters, for instance. Also, in addition to the styles that adults wear, kids can also wear more trendy hoodies that feature newer and bolder designs that may look out of place on an adult.
