Wie trägt man einen Kapuzenpullover?

With the arrival of November, more and more ladies who love beauty but are afraid of coldness have put on their hoodies. Hoodies are welcomed because they can create a casual atmosphere easily, and you do not need to choose another hat in cold weather.

But as the weather gets colder, a hoodie may not be enough to keep you warm. So have you ever considered replacing it with a hooded sweater ? Compared with hooded coats and jackets , hooded sweaters are not that commonly seen. So you might know little about them. But in this passage, we are going to introduce the ways of choosing and styling a hooded sweater to you. If you are interested in this topic, keep reading!

Indeed, most sweaters we can see are without hoods. So you may ask, what are the advantages of hooded sweaters? Why should I choose a hooded sweater rather than an ordinary one? Actually, the hoods on the sweaters are with not only the practical value, but also the aesthetic value.

On the one hand, from the perspective of practical function, a hooded sweater is convenient for you to adjust your outfit according to the changes of the weather, and to do sports and exercises. Since in most cultures, hooded clothes are generally seen as informal, hooded sweaters have little to do with business events and the elegant atmosphere. So in most cases, hooded sweaters are in casual or sports styles. This has determined that most hooded sweaters are relatively loose and will not hinder your movements. In addition, if it rains or snows outside, you can put on your hood, while if it is hot, then just put off the hood. So a hood allows you to adapt to weather changes more flexibly. That is a unique advantage of hooded clothes. So in recent years, you can find the trend of combining a hood with a sweater and a dress has become more obvious.

On the other hand, a hooded sweater can also be of great aesthetic value. In the first place,this kind of aesthetic can be achieved through the application of contrasting colors. That is to say, the hood and the main part of the sweater can be in contrast colors respectively. For example, you may find that a beige sweater with a red hood is more energetic than a sweater in solid beige color. That is exactly the surprising effect brought by the contrast colors. In the second place, there will be more space on the hood for decoration. It is quite common to add decorations on the chest or back of sweaters. But it is relatively rare to decorate the hood. Now you can find hooded sweaters with decorations of the rabbit ear shape. When you put on the hood, the rabbit ears will appear on your head. So a decorated hood can also make you look prettier.

When it comes to hooded clothes, most people will recall a hoodie or a hooded coat. And in autumn, a hoodie is also a good choice. So there are other questions: a hoodie or a hooded sweater, which should I choose? If I already have a hoodie, is it necessary to buy a hooded sweater?

The biggest difference between a hoodie and a hooded sweater lies in their fabrics. Fabrics commonly used to make sweaters include wool, cashmere, mohair and so on. While a hoodie is generally made of cotton or polyester. So from the perspective of warmth keeping performance, a hooded sweater is usually better than a hoodie of the same thickness. So in autumn, you can choose a hoodie. But if the weather gets colder, then a hooded sweater is needed.

Then we can discuss about their lengths. Generally speaking, the lengths of hoodies are relatively fixed. Most hoodies reach the waist. If it is longer to reach your knees, then it will not be called as a hoodie, but a hooded dress. But the lengths of hooded sweaters can be various. We can find hooded sweater dresses that even reach your calves. So if you need a garment of the waist-length, then a hoodie or a hooded sweater are both acceptable. But if you have more requirements about the length of the garment, then it is better for you to choose among the hooded dresses.

Thirdly, as we have mentioned above, hooded sweaters are generally looser. From this perspective, hoodies can provide you with more choices. Fitted hoodies can also be easily found. Therefore, if you prefer looser clothes, then choose a hooded sweater or a looser hoodie. On the contrary, if fitted clothes are your likes, it is better for you to choose a fitted hoodie.

Last but not least, most hooded sweaters are pullovers. But we can find both pullover hoodies and zip up hoodies easily. Of course, there are also zip up hooded sweaters, but they occupy a relatively small proportion. In other words, most hoodies are easier to wear than hooded sweaters. If you focus on the difficulty of wearing, then a hoodie is more suitable for you.

If you have decided to buy a hooded sweater for the coming winter, then let us come to the step of choosing a suitable hooded sweater. To choose a hooded sweater that is the most suitable for you, we need to take many factors including the color, the fabric, as well as the length in to consideration.

First of all, the fabric of the sweater is most directly related to your wearing experience. For better warmth keeping performance, you can choose a hooded sweater made of wool or cashmere. But remember to clarify whether the hooded sweater could be machine washed or not. And prepare to make great efforts to take care for it. If you do not want to spend a lot of energy on cleaning and caring for sweaters, a hooded sweater made of cotton thread is perhaps a better choice for you. But its warmth keeping performance and elasticity must be poorer than those of woolen one.

Next, we need to consider about the length of the hooded sweater. We have mentioned that the lengths of hooded sweaters are relatively various, so we can choose the most suitable length according to our demands. If you are going to do sports every day, then a long hooded sweater dress is not that suitable for you. Instead, you can try a crop hooded sweater or a sweater of the ordinary length that reaches your knees. If you do not have the demand of doing sports, then you can create more casual outfits. In these cases, a long hooded sweater dress is worth trying.

The color is also a significant factor that is worth considering, especially for the solid color ones. The main color of the hooded sweater should go well with the color of your skin, eyes as well as hair. You can refer to the four-season color theory in this part. In addition, if you are brave and confident enough, you can also try a hooded sweater with blocks of contrasting colors. But if you are new to the clothe and color matching, just choose the most versatile colors such as white, beige, black or grey.

No matter what your hoodie looks like, it should be paired with other garments to compose an entire outfit. Especially when it is a solid color hooded sweater, then a colorful bottom or outerwear is needed. Below are several fashion tips for your reference.
