History of the Hoodie
The hooded sweatshirt, hoodie, or hoody is a derivative of formal wear for monks in the medieval ages. While fabrics have changed since those times, the basic design of long sleeves, loose body, and hood or cowl remain the same. The modern style of the hoodie originates in the 1930s USA, where it was marketed to men working in cold temperatures in New York. The hoodie evolved into easy-to-wear, anonymous clothing in hip hop culture and later in popular media. However, the term ‘hoodie’ did not become popular until sometime in the 1990s when the garment reached wide-scale popularity for the academic culture as well as the working man. Hoodies became symbols of teams, schools, colleges, and universities. Popular culture and media also embraced the hoodie, adding logos, quotes, and images to hoodies to represent bands, movies, and television.
