Hoodies Earn a Place in School Fashion

One of the biggest fashion accessories for the past two years has been the hoodie, a sweatshirt with a hood. This year the hoodie has become a standard part of many school uniforms.

When schools began placing orders for school uniforms last spring promotional clothing distributers were surprised at the inclusion of hoodies as optional wear. In addition to the standard polo shirt and khakis many schools are allowing students to wear a hoodie during chilly months instead of a sweater, if they choose.

This nod toward fashion is a well chosen move to bring acceptance to school uniforms in the public school arena. The traditional hoodie is very trendy with all students and is worn to school over uniforms and then placed in a locker or thrown around the shoulders. With a school uniform hoodie schools are legalizing the ‘look’ and allowing hoodies to be worn during the school day.

The basic school hoodie is a cotton, one color sweatshirt with the school’s logo front and center. Variations are available but the idea is to keep the hoodie as traditional as possible while still giving the students a bit a freedom with their uniform choices.

In addition to providing hoodies as a part of school uniforms, hoodies are also being supplied as a part of sportswear. A large majority of schools are offering hoodies to sporting groups as a part of their uniform. For example, cheerleaders are offered the option of buying a team hoodie when they purchase their uniform. This is also true for other sports such as golf, tennis, baseball, football, and more.

Hoodies can be sold by the school at pep rallies or for fund raisers. School pride can be improved with a hot fashion item that everyone wants to wear. To choose the right hoodie for your school it is important to work with a professional promotional clothing distributor.
