In the constantly evolving fashion world, with new trends and styles emerging daily, one classic article of clothing prevails: the hoodie. Whether bundling up to brave the cold in winter or hiding from the tireless spring rains and breeze, a fashionable, durable hoodie is a necessity.
According to a school-wide survey, no hoodie emerged as the supreme choice. However, student favorites included the Fear of God Essentials hoodie, the Abercrombie Pullover hoodie, and Dandy hoodies.
“The Essentials Fear of God hoodie is extremely comfortable and is perfectly loose-fitting,” junior Josh Henschke said. He pointed out slight flaws, but students should not worry, as these flaws also function as useful features. “The tight-fitting neck is uncomfortable at times, but it is a good look. The hoodie is very warm, so if you are in a warm environment, you may overheat, but you will at least be very protected in the cold.”
Junior Olivia Levine said, “I love my Essentials Fear of God hoodie! It is so comfy and fuzzy on the inside and is perfect for a cozy day.” She noted that, unfortunately, the hoodie is a bit heavy, and the letters fade over time. Nonetheless, she commended the hoodie’s high quality and reasonable price.
The Abercrombie Pullover hoodie was also a crowd favorite for both male and female students. Junior Ezra Sapadin said, “The Abercrombie hoodie is both stylish and comfortable. It genuinely has no flaws!”
Junior Tanys Mayman raved about the Abercrombie hoodie, “It fits extraordinarily well, is very soft on the inside, and comes in many colors, giving buyers a lot of choice. The price is relatively cheap at $60, compared to most other hoodies.”
Many students also complimented the Dandy hoodie brand, a newly established retailer rapidly gaining popularity. Junior Charlotte Levine commended Dandy’s Let’s Watch the Sunset Hoodie. “It’s really soft on the inside and keeps me very warm while simultaneously not feeling too heavy. I love the design so much, too.” The one flaw she noted was the tight neck.
Junior Aviva Guttman said, “I love Dandy hoodies for so many reasons. Number one, the hoods are huge. Number two, they are thick and soft. Number three, they are the perfect shape, and the waistband is not too tight, so it falls very nicely.”
On a different note, when surveyed, some students described their favorite hoodie as one that brought them great memories rather than the most stylish or comfortable one.
Junior Jordan Cohen Mintz said, “I love my tenth-grade Israel trip hoodie because it reminds me of my unforgettable experience.”
Freshman Ezra Tiven-Gottesman said, “My Taylor Swift Eras Tour hoodie is my favorite because it reminds me of the amazing concert.”
Undoubtedly, there are many fabulous hoodies for sale that will provide students with the style, comfort, and warmth they desire.
