'ams wanted a hoodie thread. I will oblige.
I occassionally will wear a zip up hoodie. But very rarely. Typically if its a little to warm for a hoodie, but I want to rock one anyway, I'll sport the zip front and push up the sleeves. This seems to be very socially acceptable in slightly warmer than ideal situations.
One thing I am particular about in my hoodie is that it not be too big. I don't like a baggy fitting hoodie. If I push my sleeves up I don't want it to be so bunched up around my upper arms that it keeps flopping down over the cuff, you know? Also if it's too big often the pocket in the front hangs down and I look like a mama Kangaroo carrying her Joey.
Now for the hood. If I'm wearing my hood it's because of the weather conditions, not as a fashion statement. Therefore, I hate hoodies with the tiny little hood that doesn't lay flat when it's off and can barely fit over your head when its on. You can usually recognize these types of hoods because of the Klu Klux Klan-ish point extending from the top.
My ideal hoodie: not oversized, big hooded, and of course
