Zip up your style and get ready for spring
Spring is on the way, so it’s time to ditch those big bubble coats for something cooler, like a hoodie.
Hoodies are the new T-shirt, especially during the in-between seasons when it’s not quite hot and far from cold. A good hoodie can be chic or street, and popular lines like Kid Robot, Juicy Couture and Free People offer a mix of both.
Starlets like Beyoncé and Jessica Alba rock hoodies often on their downtime, and so can you.
Here’s a few to show you what’s good in a hood:
CLASS IN MANY COLORS: Keep it classic and timeless with this J. Crew essential. Soft and lightweight, you can rock it with jeans or pair it with your favorite spring dress. It comes in more than a dozen colors, from deep yellow to bright ocean blue. And it can be monogrammed, so it makes an awesome gift. Cashmere Shrunken Hoodie, $178, jcrew.com exclusive
TATTOO-RIFFIC: This pop-over hoodie is perfect to pair with leggings and heels, and it’s currently the Hollywood hotness. Christian Audigier left Von Dutch to launch his very own Ed Hardy line, a tattoo culture-inspired line that is fun, sexy and takes a page from tattoo godfather, Ed Hardy. The line is loved by everyone from Janice Dickinson to the kids of “Run’s House.” Women’s Cashmere Touch Hoodie, $143, donedhardy.com
