What is a sweatshirt

There are many different types of clothes. According to the types, uses, production methods and raw materials of clothes, we can divide clothes into coats, shirts, long skirts, short skirts, underwear, outerwear, sweatshirts and so on. For every different occasion and situation, the clothes we wear and match are different. However, most of us usually like to wear more casual clothes, and hoodies are a better choice.

In fact, many people of the older generation nowadays don’t quite understand what a sweatshirt is. Some of them even think that a sweatshirt is underwear. In fact, a sweatshirt is not the same as underwear. A sweatshirt is a more casual, loose-fitting and fashionable piece of clothing. Let’s learn about it below.

The "sweatshirt" was born in New York in the 1930s as work clothes produced for cold storage workers. However, due to the comfort and warmth of hoodies, they gradually gained popularity among athletes, and soon became popular among football players' girlfriends and music stars. By the 1970s, singing and music culture began to rise. Sweatshirts have become a symbol of subculture rebellion, and young people feel that by putting on a hat to cover their faces, they can isolate their souls from the world. However, the rise of hoodies is the result of singing and dancing culture becoming an irresistible force in popular culture in the late 1990s. Nowadays, all brands are launching hoodies in various styles and patterns.

The above are the reasons why hoodies are popular, but the more important point is that hoodies are generally simple in cut and easy to match, whether worn alone or with other clothes. Moreover, with the development of the times, the quality of hoodies is becoming more and more suitable for the needs of modern people's lives. This is also one of the reasons why hoodie culture has been able to develop.
