A Fall-Winter Fashion Must-Have : Hooded Sweatshirt

No casual fall wardrobe would be complete without adding a hooded sweatshirt or "hoodie". One thing you can count on in the fall is that you basically need to dress for two types of weather every single day. It's going to be too cool to go without an outer layer on top of your street clothes and a hoodie is a wonderful addition to your outfit. Then in the afternoon, when it's too warm to wear a hoodie, you can tuck it away or tie it around your waist until later on in the early evening when the much cooler nights arrive and you'll want the warmth of a hooded sweatshirt again.

A hooded sweatshirt is also excellent protection against the elements when used as part of your winter layering. If you're going to be exposed to cold conditions for any period of time, layer your clothing and you'll reduce fatigue and stay warmer. Your first layer should be a thermal shirt to hold in your body heat as much as possible. The next layer should be a cotton or cotton poly blend t-shirt and the third layer can be either a cotton flannel shirt or a hooded sweatshirt. If you aren't wearing a hooded sweatshirt, use a head covering of some sort, as nearly 40% of your body heat can escape through the top of your head when you're in cold conditions.

Hoodies are a great addition to any wardrobe. They are casual, comfortable and very necessary as the cooler weather of fall and winter arrive.
