 Hoodies are a staple in everyone's wardrobe. We all know that and I'm gonna show you how to style it. At least how I do it. Don't let me tell you what to do except for hitting the like button. Please do that. So how should it fit? You're gonna hear a guy saying it shouldn't fit too tight or it shouldn't fit too loose. Understandable. But I think you should base it on your interests. If you're more of a dapper clean cut dude then maybe something a little more slim fitting will be your cup of tea. And if you're a gym rat or nowadays a home gym rat, I honestly think that you should stick to more slim fitting hoodies, nothing too tight. You'll see a lot of fitness gurus rocking on super tight hoodies, I don't get why. I think it restricts your movements whenever you're doing your compound movements and all that. And it's just not a good way to work out in my opinion. But you do you. And if you're into streetwear, you're gonna want something a little more oversized. Or take it from me, I like both. I like to think of it like calisthenics and weightlifting. I do both. I don't like to place any limitations on myself like that and neither should you. But also let me tell you why I like fitted hoodies. Not all jackets can handle the extra fabric from an oversized hoodie. So that is why you need a fitted one. So now what should you look for within a hoodie? For the most part, what I recommend is going for a solid color. I recommend Slay Gray as your first hoodie as it's even more versatile than a black one in my opinion. But cream, black and all of our great places to start. A graphic or a box logo one's also a good choice. Just make sure that you actually like the brand or the graphic and advise with who you are. Because if you actually like a show, a series or a certain brand, well then it's who you are. It should fit your style perfectly. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. And yes, prequel trilogy over any other trilogy don't add me. But I would also look for more abstract type of hoodies. Abstract in terms of design. Something like this hoodie right here. I said this in another video but your standard hoodie has a V cut to its color because that's where the hood is attached to. And it also comes with your standard pouch and drawings, you know, the typical hoodie. However, hoodies are an item that you want a variety of in your wardrobe and not just a bunch of colors. So like I said, check out this hoodie right here. This is from Alpha Industries. The color is a high neck color giving it some more utilitarian vibes. There's a nylon kangaroo pouch as well as the standard pouch making it a lot more functional and uniquely designed than the standard hoodie. Just think of this like the ambush dunks versus the regular dunks. Both are great but the ambush dunks have a little more oomph to it. You know what I'm saying? Now onto the tips. I always recommend a hoodie layered underneath any jacket really. It's fresh, there's a visual layer seen up top in the collar area because that hoodie hanging out from the back really does make a difference. And so this means any jacket that doesn't have a hood already attached to it. If it does have a hoodie attached to it, don't don't double layer, man. That looks weird. Unless you're in Canada or up North or in Chicago or something like that. You gotta walk backwards to prevent yourself from catching hyperthermia. I get it. Otherwise, don't do that. What I'm talking bomber jackets, leather jackets, denim jackets. You guys already do this. I know that. It does look so much better than a standard long sleeve layer underneath. But for me, if it's a leather jacket, I think cream or gray is the best choice to layer underneath. Just my opinion, but you do you. Denim jackets, I also think cream looks best in because the two pieces are lighter in tone. And that's why they compliment each other. But what you really wanna do is to layer a hoodie underneath a coat or trench jacket. What this is going to do is give your fit a more upscale look. While not looking to financial district, stock trader X type of vibe, it's gonna be casual yet more sophisticated. It's a sweet look that I think any guy can pull off. Seriously, go ahead and try it. This one right here is from Express. And because it's more slim fitting, I'm wearing it with the more fitted hoodie. You know, I'm taking my advice. Some sweats and white leather sneakers from Oliver Cabell. So like I said, it's a more sophisticated look. Yet it's really casual because I've gone on sweatpants. And that's what I'm all about most of the time. I'm always looking for contrasting items that really shouldn't compliment each other and trying to put them together. Because with trench coats, you'd think, okay, I need some skinny pants and some boots. I really dig a hoodie underneath this trench coat that I got from Uniqlo. And I just leaned into the tech vibes as since the jacket is waterproof and has the right cut to it. And it really gives off that dystopian energy. One of my favorite looks. You could always wear it on its own, plain and simple, but I always recommend adding a little bit of spice to it. Because I rarely ever wear a hoodie just by itself. So here's what I recommend. Throw on a beanie. It really complements the look with the hood sitting right behind your ears and the beanie as well. And I think it makes a pretty big difference. You could also throw on a tote bag or a sling bag for more visual detail. And these accessories would basically act like a graphic hoodie. Typically with my graphic hoodies, because it has a graphic, I don't really wear anything else with it, maybe a beanie. But for the plain hoodies, I always rock it with a sling bag or a tote bag. I think it really complements the outfit. So I'll check this fit out right here. I have on a simple, talentless hoodie, a messenger bag, straight cut denim and white sneakers, gray scale, simple look, but the accessories add enough complexity to keep it from being too basic, but nothing wrong with that either. And you could even throw on a puffer vest. So a puffer vest and a hoodie, especially if they are the same color is an underrated look that you don't really see enough of. And of course, you guys know me already, you're gonna need some cargo pants. So I strictly avoid wearing a plain hoodie and just some plain pants. I think that's a little too basic for me. So that is why I rock some accessories, you know, a sling bag and a beanie and all that. So if I don't wanna do any of that, I just throw on some cargo pants, especially the tech cargo pants because the unique cuts, the pockets, and other accessories of the pants will compensate for the plain top. So check this out. Just a plain hoodie, my Nike ACG Cargos and some boots. Ooh, chef's kiss. And the last way I like to wear a hoodie is something you don't see enough in person, at least for me. And so throw on some athletic shorts. This is for a casual look on warmer days or you can throw on sweats if it's a colder one, but put on some crew socks and a sneaker of your choice. And it just looks so good. Just like your skin can look so good by using Qurology, the sponsor of today's video. Let me take a second to thank them for supporting the channel.

This is kind of a remake of my old how to style hoodies video because that video was kind of wack. Hoodies are a year-round piece. They're more associated towards the fall and winter, but you can definitely wear it in the spring because there are cold days in spring. And a lot of us have been used to being quarantined for the past year. So let me know what spring videos you guys want to see in the comments down below.
