By definition, a hoodie has a hood, unlike your standard graphic-print crewneck. I was pretty sure that was the case, but I’m not going to lie – I did look it up just to make sure. And if we’re really getting into the thick of it, it’s important to acknowledge just how many more styling tricks you can take advantage of when you do have a hood to utilize. Kaia Gerber comes to mind – the supermodel made a blazer look 150 percent more casual-cool by letting her hood hang out the back, and the look is forever imprinted in my memory.
You can also add dimension to your outfit by knotting the drawstring at your neck. Plus, there’s something that’s so sporty about wearing a hood; something that provides instant coverage. When I’m wearing one, I just feel like I could lift it up over my head and run straight outside for a jog in an instant. Anyone else feel me?
