22 Elevated Hoodies for Women to Wear in Fall

It's no secret that the hoodie is an American classic. The first hoodie was created in the early 1930s by Champion as a way for workers in the Northeast to have an extra layer of warmth for their outdoor jobs. Since then, the hoodie has become a symbol of working class America, punks, hip hop, and even racial injustice.

But these days, the oh-so practical hoodie has started to ascend into a another territory—luxury fashion. With hoodies all over streetwear, all over the runway, and even included in Demna Gvasalia's first Balenciaga couture collection, this humble garment is getting a high fashion makeover. For those who are already on board with the hoodie look, throwing a hoodie on with a pair of wide leg jeans or leggings for the gym can be just what the doctor ordered. However, for those of us who are hoodie-hesitant, layering a hoodie with a blazer or leather jacket over it can create a nice blend of comfort and class. Don't be afraid to get comfortable!
