Description

A hoodie is a casual sweatshirt with a hood. It is usually made from soft, warm material and often has a large front pocket, though not always. People wear it for comfort, warmth, and an easy everyday style.

You might put on a hoodie when you are going out for a short trip, relaxing at home, or walking outside on a cool day. Some look simple and plain, while others are part of streetwear fashion. The word can also suggest someone trying not to stand out, especially if the hood is up.
