COOL SWEATS
Sweatshirts have been a part of our daily lives for decades. They are the
perfect piece of clothing for different environments and purposes. Their
heating capacity, comfort and versatility are perfect features to make
them an important part of many uniforms. On the other hand, these
same features also make them desirable for less formal and more relaxed
environments. For a very cool style, just wear it with jeans or shorts. Many
designers often have new versions of sweatshirts in their autumn / winter
collections, making them a musthave of the season.
The hooded version dates back to the style introduced in medieval Europe
by the monks in their work abroad. In New York, workers wore them in lower
temperature environments. The success of the hood was confirmed later
in 1970 with the explosion of Hip-Hop and urban culture. Today, its success
is reflected by the widespread use in many different environments and
sports, from festivals to extreme sports.
