Hoodie sweatshirts have become remarkably popular among women, particularly on American and English college campuses and throughout high schools in the UK and America. Let's review the various styles and features of hoodies. Many of these hooded sweatshirts feature a compartment known as a kangaroo pocket, which decorates the front of the sweatshirt. This pocket can range in size and feature zippers and even buttons. Other hoodies feature zip-up fronts. These pieces usually don't come with kangaroo pockets. Finally, some hoodies, particularly those manufactured by mass-market retailers, such as Guess, J. Crew, L.L. Bean, and Gap, offer both kangaroo pockets and half zippers. These sweatshirts are generally made of polyester-cotton blends or 100 percent cotton. Many hoodies feature logos or label adornments or detailing. These logos can appear anywhere on the hoodie. Rock bands, independent shirt sellers, and startup design labels all market these tops to youth markets. A number of these sweatshirts boast hood tightening and loosening strings, and you can find exotic variations on the form, including the wildly popular Pink Kitty hoodie, which is manufactured to resemble a cat with ears and paws. Although many fashionistas consider hoodies iconic of the current youth generation, there is a growing legion of hoodie fans among older generations. Since these sweatshirts are so comfortable and so multi-faceted in terms of their wardrobe pairings, it's no surprise that more and more women of every age are employing hoodies to anchor their otherwise eclectic closets.
