It's 2003, you're wearing a zip-up hoodie, Tell All Your Friends is playing loudly on your Sony Psyc boombox, and you're instant chatting with your crush in your room. You weren't the only one, either: peak indie sleaze (and occasionally just plain sleazy) labels like American Apparel helped zip-up Hoodies gain popularity throughout the 2000s, everywhere from gym classes to red carpets.Then something happened, society and the ruling class in the fashion world changed their minds, and all of a sudden, the zip-up gave way to the all-powerful pullover. Band t-shirts as status symbols evolved into a hot-weather swerve. Simple putting on and taking off with the pull of a zipper? not anymore.The pullover hoodie ruled supreme throughout the most of the 2010s, propelled by a streetwear boom that pushed up-and-coming brands to print their images on some thick fleece. Zip-up hoodies are once again a rage, though, as Y2K fashion trends gain momentum. keithharingclothing

Hoodies Fashion

Imagine the zip-up as the cool, younger brother of the pullover, but with far more layering potential. It can snuggle up to a matching pair of slacks and a loose-fitting t-shirt with style in its most natural condition. (Add some stylish accessories, like a necklace, clean sneakers, and eye-catching sunglasses, and you've got a look that rivals Shai Gilgeous-best Alexander's tunnel-trotting ensemble.) Like the cardigan, another treasure of 2000s fashion, it may also serve the role of a picture frame when unzipped and left open, ready to display your sickest graphic tee. Or make like a mid-aughts garage band ironically donning corporate attire and wear your zip-up over a dress shirt and baggy tailored trousers.It's time to access the attic and dust off any zip-up hoodies from high school that you had the foresight to save. But, for those of us whose zip-ups have been lost to the passage of time (or who are too young to remember when Transatlanticism first came out), we have gathered 17 immaculate options that you can purchase right now.
