Men's Hoodies and Sweatshirts

Warehouses on the street

The invention of the hoodie is attributed to the American brand Champion in the 1930s, to keep warehouse workers in New York warm. It then made its way into American university sports fields, and from the 1970s and 1980s, it became a symbol in hip-hop, skate, and streetwear. Today, hoodies can be worn anywhere, from weekends to casual offices, under a jacket or puffer coat.

Two ways to wear it

The hoodie pullover, with its kangaroo pocket, is the simplest and warmest: it blocks the air on the torso. The zip-up hoodie opens and closes depending on the temperature and can be worn like a light jacket over a t-shirt. For layering, a thin hoodie fits under a denim jacket, a bomber jacket, or a coat, with the hood peeking out over the collar: it's one of the most classic combinations in men's wardrobe.

Fit, fleece and care

The regular fit falls straight on the hips; the oversize fit, with dropped shoulders and a longer cut, gives a streetwear look. The ribbed edges at the wrists and waist should be tight to retain warmth and shape. The brushed fleece, soft inside, is the warmest; the loopback, more breathable, is suitable for spring. A hoodie with a high weight will keep its shape longer. Wash it inside out, at a low temperature, without tumble drying, to avoid shrinkage or pilling.

Frequently asked questions

Who invented the hoodie?

The invention of the hoodie is attributed to the American brand Champion in the 1930s, to keep warehouse workers in New York warm. It then gained popularity in universities, hip-hop, and skate culture.

What hoodie fit to choose for men?

A regular fit falls just on the hips and can be worn anywhere; an oversize fit, with dropped shoulders, gives a streetwear vibe. Athletic builds prefer a fitted model with ribbed edges that hold snugly.

How to wear a hoodie with a coat?

The hoodie fits under a wool coat, a pea coat, or a denim jacket, with the hood peeking over the collar. This casual yet smart mix works with straight trousers and simple sneakers.

How to pair a graphic hoodie?

With a bold print, keep the rest of the outfit simple: raw denim, chinos, or plain joggers, and simple sneakers. The graphic becomes the standout piece of the outfit without competing with other patterns.

How to wash a hoodie without distorting it?

Wash it inside out at thirty degrees, then dry it flat rather than hanging it, which stretches the fabric under the weight of water. High-temperature tumble drying shrinks cotton and hardens the ribbed edges.
