Hoodies on a 32 year old. Yay or nay?

[poshsinglemum]

I used to wear hoodies in my 20s as they were comfy and 'cool'. I'm not sure I feel right in them now. Am I too old to wear hoodies. (I have two nice flowery ones by roxy but not sure if I look a bit teenish in them.)

I do for those chilling out with dds days - but nice grown up wooly/cashmere type ones rather than surfy ones. I like to think I look laid back and not too 'try-hard'!

I don't see the problem with wearing hoodies in your 30's. I wear mine -mostly with either boyfriend/slouchy jeans.

They are a "can't be bothered to decide what to wear and I just need to get to school on time" default outfit or a sunday outfit. However, most days I would change out of them if I were going on to somewhere else.

I also wouldn't wear the flowery Roxy versions. I have two plain ones and an A&F one. They are fab when skiing - especially for apres ski. Comfortable and warm but definitely wouldn't wear as a "style" statement!

Well I'm in my 40's and I wear them.

As long as your comfy were what you want

I'm late 40's and wear O'Neill and Animal ones, both zip up and pullovers.

So long as it's not worn with a baseball cap and the hood up, you should be fine.

What's age got to do with it? If ya like it, wear it. Sod what other people think. I think hoodies are nice.

I wear them and I'm a great deal older than 32. But then I know nothing about fashion. They are comfortable but I rarely wear the hood but.

I'll be 39 this year and I wear hoodies. Seasalt hoodie for the outdoor-sy look and this when I feel a wee bit cheeky!

yep go for it - I love my A&F one -grey, lovely and warm with jeans and converse.

I wear hoodies and I'm 31. I don't suppose I look stylish or beautiful in them (hence not often posting on these threads) but I wear them just the same.

They are particularly useful when pushing a buggy in the rain.

Hoodies rock and you should wear yours.

i'm 40 an wear them, so does justine from mumsnet, i saw her in one!

my mum also wore one at 68

I don't care about what's fashionable... but I am peeved at the hood part of hoodies. What's the point? Who over 25 ever wears it hood up? It's just extraneous fabric.

I was so pleased to manage to buy a sweatshirt without a hood the other week.

i do wear the hood up sometimes..though i agree that to match a nice outfit you want something woolly looking (even if it is actually acrylic)rather than jersey. If you actually spend time anyhere coastal, all the better - certainly the pub in Cornwall everyone wear hoodies of some kind regardless of age.

great for summer evenings outdoors to keep my wittle ears warm.

i find annoying when the hood isn't large enough to circumnavigate my bonce.

I wear hoodies and am in my 30s. I wear the hood up if it is cold and I am walking the dogs. It is a practical item of clothing.
