Hoodies in USA

A hoodie (in some cases it is also spelled hoody and alternatively known as a hooded sweatshirt) is a sweatshirt with a hood. Hoodies often include a muff sewn onto the lower front. A drawstring to adjust the hood opening. It covers most of the head and neck and sometimes the face. Hoodies may be worn for protection against the environment (cold weather, rain, etc.) The hoodie became popular in the 1970s, with several factors contributing to its success. Hip hop culture developed in New York City around this time and high fashion also took off during this era. Most critical to the hoodie’s popularity during this time was its iconic appearance in the blockbuster Rocky film. The rise of hoodies with university logos began around this time.
Across globe, hoodies in USA are a popular clothing item sometimes worn under a coat or jacket to provide an extra layer of clothing during the winter. In the province of Saskatchewan, hoodies without zippers are “bunny hugs.”
