Wearing hoodies is something many men enjoy. However, often times men feel reticent to putting on a hoodie, as they feel that these garments are something that are not very man-like, but rather boyish or childish. But this could not be further away from the truth. Hoodies can be worn by adults as well, without them being discredited as grown-ups. Having a few hoodies in your wardrobe can have a great impact on your style and attitude. In this guide, we take a look at the main advantages that wearing a hoodie can have.

But, before we go into that, we need to take a look at the main features a good hoodie should have. If you consider buying a hoodie, you should look out for a piece that is light, warm, thin, and that frames your body well. Be aware of the fact that many hoodies can be too bulky, they can have designs on them that will make it hard for others to take you seriously and they can be made from synthetic fabrics that will feel uncomfortable and that might cause the bad kind of sparks.

However, there are brands that offer great hoodies. For example, one brand we like and recommend is 90:10. Their hoodies are stylish, practical and youthful, as they reflect their brand’s philosophy: 90% grown up, 10% very young. A balanced brand for balanced men – we say! What we like most about the 90:10 hoodies is their practicality and versatility, as they can be worn in numerous settings and their style. 90:10 has managed to create hoodies that look all grown-up, but that still have a boyish flair.

So, without further ado, let’s take a look at the main advantages wearing a great hoodie can have on your style and on the way you feel:

1. Warmth

A good hoodie is the perfect thing to wear in a casual setting on numerous occasions. A hoodie can be worn in the winter in the city, but it is also the perfect thing to put on if you are spending a casual evening in a resort during the summertime. A hoodie that fits well can, in some cases, look better than a knit jumper or a dressy vest.

Moreover, we recommend that you have a hoodie with you if you travel, especially if you don’t know what the weather is going to be like. If you are traveling and need to put on something warm, a hoodie is a great idea. The main advantage besides the instant warmth you get, is that you can warm up your outfit without changing your jacket and needing to transfer everything from its pockets to the pockets of the new jacket. This way, you will always know that what you had in the jacket which you were wearing a while ago, is (or should be) still there.

2. Comfort

Another thing that hoodies do is they bring a lot of comfort in your life. Having a soft, light and warm hoodie can make you feel like you are wrapped in a blanket, without actually having to wear a blanket.

3. Versatility

If you find a hoodie that is neither too sporty, nor resembles a sweater too much, you will discover that a hoodie can be worn with almost anything. There are numerous things you can wear with a hoodie: jeans, khakis, chinos – these are all types of pants that can be easily worn with a hoodie. In terms of shoes, hoodies go with anything from sneakers to boating shoes, which makes them very versatile.

The main advantage of versatile clothes is that they can be easily used if you need to transition between looks.

4. Style

A great hoodie can make a stylish addition to your wardrobe. If you own it and wear it with confidence, a hoodie can be just as stylish as a cashmere sweater. As we said in the previous section, a hoodie can be paired with a wide variety of other pieces. Some men even wear two hoodies at once!

When addressing hoodies and style, we need to clarify and answer a common question we get; and say that hoodies can be worn with blazers, but only if the hoodie has a great fit, if it’s not too bulky and if it doesn’t blow up the whole outfit.

You can also wear a hoodie with a trench coat, but again, only if the hoodie isn’t too bulky. Otherwise, you risk looking like a sack.

Alternatively, a hoodie can be worn with any other types of jackets: it goes great with leather jackets, for example. If you are wearing hoodie with a leather jacket, you should make sure that the hoodie isn’t too long compared to the jacket.
