Dressing for the weather might be difficult, but one of the most recent popular outfits makes it a little easier.
Hooded clothing is having a fashion moment.
Hoods are appearing prominently in red carpet ensembles, whether in scarves or dresses – just look at Jenna Ortega’s latest gorgeous Saint Laurent gown to see the trend in action.
A hooded dress may conjure up images of Kylie Minogue from the 2000s, but they have made a triumphant return to the fashion industry in 2023.
Last November, Kate Moss wore a translucent olive green silk jersey dress with a built-in hood at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, while Laura Harrier chose a sleek brown YSL hooded dress for another red carpet appearance.
Hoods give a new level of excitement and drama to any ensemble, as well as an extra layer of protection from the wind and rain.
But the best part is that you can dress up or down according on your mood, with a variety of hooded choices available.
Wear a hooded jersey dress for a more casual look, or go all out with a formal hooded jumpsuit. Alternatively, try a hooded scarf to get a taste of the fashion.
The options are limitless.
