Lto mythical hoodiealso known as hoodiereturned to the field for theAutumn-Winter 2023/2024. Gone are the days when it was only associated with hip-hop or skater culture: today, from a symbol of the most rebellious youth communities, it is transformed into an absolute must-have.
Its design doesn’t change much, rather it dusts off the cults of the past. What changes is the way to combine itdecidedly original and feminine.
Where we saw her
A bit everywhere, let’s face it. Thanks to the reinterpretations of the most prominent stylists, from Miu Miu to JW Anderson. In the cold season, designers even wear the hoodie on the catwalk: but the biggest news is that the hoodie today is the protagonist of outfits different from the usual, which have nothing to do with sport. Almost. Why the casual attitude remains, even if in a refined way: as demonstrated by the fashion show JW Anderson. The English designer dusts off the classic model oversized weekend wear, masculine in a loose cut. Strictly solid colour, with the glamorous detail of the contrasting interior, played on the trendy colors of the moment, such as navy blue and white.

Other details that identify the model hoodie peak: the front zip, which allows you to combine it with other items other than the usual distressed jeans, to show off the underlying look. The materials: a stiff cotton sweatshirt that transforms it into one of the trendiest jackets of the season, with a clear Nineties feel.

How to style the hoodie in Autumn 2023
The piece to slip on for every useful occasion to deal with your home and surroundings. If the dejavu goes straight to the times of the pandemic, in truth the designers are rather focusing on the ennoblement of this essential and comfortable garment. First of all, underlining its use as an overcoat, like a denim jacket or a trench coat: the hooded sweatshirt is now worn over office clothes – if it were still in fashion, we would use the term athleisure. Rather, a cuddle with effortless elegance. The secret lies in the combination of nuances and styles: a rigorous midi dress or a gray sheath dress are perfect for underlining the styling, as demonstrated by the fashion show exit.
The same goes for the choice of leather mules minimal, which can be replaced by a pair of slingbacks, ballerinas or pointed pumps. The result? A clean and youthful look, capable of removing a few years from the identity card, at least visually. Not just on Sunday.
