From streetwear to fashion: the hoodie for women

Cold weather! Did you know that women are much more sensitive to temperature and weather changes compared to men? The skin temperature is almost three degrees lower, a matter of hormones!

But how nice is the natural cold of the winter months, of course the polar cold that we were used to in the past is gradually disappearing, at least in the city, but these January days can’t help but remind you that snow is finally falling somewhere!

A garment that has now been accepted as a working class piece and that today is no longer missing in anyone’s wardrobe. Those who prefer it all black like Eminem, those who want it in softer colors now that it’s winter, and those like us at Monvic who also like to wear it in the brightest colors possible with cool writing and graphics, even in the darkest season!

A little bit of history...

The hoodie has humble origins just like blue jeans. Born to allow workers to cover their heads when forced to work in the cold, it later became Linus’s blanket for athletes of any discipline. A comfortable and versatile sweatshirt that allows everyone to comfortably train outdoors during the coldest season.

In the 1960s, the hoodie became a true iconic garment in America, ladies started wearing their boyfriends’ hoodies in universities and high schools.

Later, in the 1970s, the hoodie found fertile ground among writers and neighborhood hoodlums. For both, the need was to not be recognized and to not be noticed, so the raised hood of a dark hoodie guaranteed that they could carry out their “activity” uninterrupted.

Definitely entered into the fashion world, where today there are also all-female suggestions for matching the hoodie with an elegant dress, the women’s fleece jacket is one of the most sought-after garments.

This is why we decided to create a women’s fleece jacket with an oversize hood, made both in a quilted version and not, and with three uses: it protects the head with the hood raised, protects the neck from the wind with the zip pulled all the way up, or with the hood lowered on the shoulders like a shawl for a more elegant touch.

The ET fleece jacket by Monvic is very loved by climbers because it is warm and super tight-fitting
