Popularity of the custom hoody
Last weekend I went to Liverpool, and yes, got the usual jokes about being careful where I left my car if I wanted to keep the wheels, etc etc.
Isn’t it funny how we feel the need to label and stereotype people? People from Liverpool get a pretty poor stereotype as we imagine youths running round in hoodies, terrorising people and stealing anything that isn’t nailed down.
In the last couple of years, I wonder if the hoodie is perhaps making a comeback as I’ve seen a lot of people, older and more respectable people than you might imagine, wearing them. In fact, companies are even getting personalised or custom hoodies made now for staff and team events.
Whatever we follow as fashion, we even feel the need to inflict it upon our pets, which in most cases usually means the dog.
Years ago, it was enough that we made and bought little jackets for our dogs to walk in. This I could bear because at least it served a purpose. Yes, dogs have their own fur coats so should not need jackets for protecting them from the cold but as we cut or groom our dogs, as I do with my own dog, then sometimes it makes sense.
However, the latest fashions from humans have now become the latest fashion for dogs too. Yes, you can now buy your dog little dog boots, dog jackets – in many styles from camouflage to burberry check, dog hats, diamonte collars, t-shirts, jumpers and now even a hoodie!
So I guess if the trend is to purchase a custom hoody for ourselves, it doesn’t take much of a leap of imagination to see us buying custom hoodies for our dogs and even a matching set. What is the world coming to?
