Should Be Donned For Beach Bonfires Only! To the degree that the sweatshirt hoodie possesses much needed functionality is the degree that it possesses major shortfalls in fashion. [Read "g'awful appearance" here.] "But the winds are constantly blowing and it's always a bit brisk at Pacific Northwest beaches," you say.
What is one to wear if one forgoes this hooded horror?

Some preferable alternatives follow:
- a wool hat from Wapiti Woolies, a true Cascadian favorite, or
- a custom wool hat from Vermont Originals, a true New England favorite. (See The Daily Prep posting here), or
- a twill golf cap from one of your favorite links (as understated as possible).
Note Well: Tongue is firmly planted in cheek whilst I write this. Because at the end of the day (literally), it is hard to take something as ridiculous as a hoodie too seriously. Scenes like this put things firmly in perspective.

Great Scott! I almost choked on my morning glass of Veuve Clicquot. I suppose I can understand this garment's usefulness in a 50-knot gale; and at least you're not pairing it with baggy denim, big white trainers, and bottle of Hennessy. Speaking of which, I do hope that isn't a glass of crunk juice in your hand...!
ReplyDeleteP.S. Is "h**dy" short for anything?
Dear Laguna Beach Fogey,
ReplyDeleteI appreciate your comment and your impeccable taste in bubbles. No crunk juice or forties here; and, alas, no Pernod cut with water. (I think it was white sangria.) In any case, that beach attire was thrown on the proverbial bonfire. Cheers!
