hoodie


rogues gallery, $176 (click to enlarge for better detail)


forget the heinously unattractive model and poorly matched jeans and you're left with a modern take on a hoodie. the hooded sweatshirt has become somewhat of a new staple for my generation. you see it paired with blazers on your archetypal male hipster or idiosyncratically worn with a skirt and heels on that girl at the sonic youth show. it's comfortable, unisex in its wearability, and it is now offered in more expensive fabrics (namely cashmere) and slimmer cuts. all winter i searched for a flattering shawl collar sweater to no avail, but i love the slim fit and shawl collar on this stylish take on an otherwise casual piece. the price is steep but i'll keep it an eye on it with the hopes of it at least getting down to 50% off (*crosses fingers and bookmarks).
