You Need a Not So Basic Hoodie

A great hooded sweatshirt is a ride-or-die wardrobe staple. It will never go out of style, or out of season, for that matter. But during the breezy days and chilly nights of autumn, there's nothing more comforting than pulling on a relaxed sweatshirt. You want something that looks cool enough to hang with whatever you're already wearing. That's simple but not basic. You can still make a statement with your hoodie—be it a bold graphic, a uniquely textured material or simply a strong color choice that will contrast and complement the rest of your wardrobe. And since the look is rooted in streetwear and skate culture, try wearing them with some relaxed Dickies-inspired trousers or jeans and a pair of classic sneakers. Come winter, layer it under your overcoat for an easy high and low mix.
