History of the men’s hoodie 

Sweatshirts and hoodies have gone from being items of sportswear to becoming fashion streetwear, and are often seen worn with a pair of cool sneakers and a cool bum bag. Hoodies started as sportswear when a hood was added to sweatshirts to protect athletes from the weather. Hoodies became popular some decades ago in streetwear culture, when hip-hop and breakdance culture introduced hoodies to the masses in New York in the 1970s. Graffiti artists also loved hoodies as the big, oversized look helped them to hide their identity when they created graffiti on the streets. Hiding one’s identity was precisely why skaters came to love hoodies even more than streetwear fashion lovers. The hoodies meant that skaters could look stylish and hide their identity when they skated in illegal areas in the city.

The 1990s was a decade of sweatshirts, when hip-hop groups such as Wu Tang Clan and Cypress Hill started trends with the latest hoodies. They matched the groups’ hard street attitude. Today, the biggest basketball stars are the biggest fashion icons. Here sweatshirts and hoodies are not just something worn on the court, they are worn on the streets. Brands such as The North Face and Adidas Originals have been inspired and have helped to make the hoodie part of the fashion world, which has also opened the way for smaller but incredibly popular indie brands.
