Gray Hoodie Cordage Special! Tips and styling examples of how to wear the men's ironic item.

As a monotone in between black and white, this gray hoodie blends easily with any colorful item. It can be worn with track pants and sneakers for an athletic look, or paired with jeans or cargo pants for a rougher look. In this issue, we focus on the “Gray Hoodie” and introduce some of the most popular outfits and recommended items by fashionable people from overseas!

The establishment of the gray hoodie started with Rocky, who would have thought?

As a monotone color between black and white, with a nearly infinite range of brightness, the gray sweatshirt parka blends easily with a variety of items in different colors. It is useful not only for athleisure style, but also for creating a sporty mix of outfits, and has high potential for expressing a mixed style by layering it with coats and other items. Of course, there are other basic colors, but gray is by far the most popular, not only in Japan but also abroad, possibly due to the influence of the hit movie ‘ Rocky,’ which was produced in 1976.

Rocky, an amateur boxer played by Sylvester Stallone, wears a gray hoodie as his training wear, and his challenge for the world heavyweight title moved the whole world, and the movie won three Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Editing. This gave the gray hoodie iconic status, and since then it has been featured in running scenes in other films, including “Marathon Man” and in TV series such as the political drama “House of Cards: Stairway to Ambition,” establishing the image of hoodie-gray. Incidentally, Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, usually wears a plain gray hoodie, and Jesse Eisenberg, who plays Zuckerberg in David Fincher’s ‘ The Social Network,’ released in 2010, wears a gray hoodie in many scenes. He wears a hoodie in many scenes in David Fincher’s film “The Social Network,” released in 2010.

It’s a classic, and we need to pay attention! What are the tips for adults to wear gray hoodies stylishly?

Tips for adults to wear a gray hoodie (1) “Choose a thick hood with independence (three-dimensionality) to get rid of the loungewear look and the drabness.

The key to wearing a gray hoodie as an adult is to avoid choosing a thin item without a self-supporting hood, which can make it look loungewear-like and drab. If the hood is thicker and has a self-supporting (three-dimensional) feel, then even if it is casual, it will have an “out-of-town” feel, making it easy to blend in with the city and differentiate it from a style worn to and from the convenience store. This way, it can be worn not only as the main top, but also as a supporting piece when layered as an inner layer, without the hood looking too loose and well-balanced, giving the wearer a sense of style.

Tips for adults to wear a gray parka (2) “Use monotone items to create a stylish and urban look.

The gray parka tends to make a blurred impression because of its modest assertiveness, so it is a royal roadmap to coordinate it with a monotone color scheme based on black. Pairing black items with outerwear and bottoms to create a monotone overall look will accentuate the contrast with the gray parka and give the styling a clear outline, completing a stylish and urban look. When using spring and summer colors to create a sense of the season, it is a good idea to use neutral and pale tones, centering on the gray parka, to create a clean look.

Tips for adults to wear a gray parka (3) “Accelerate the street style by making full use of layering.

The use of a gray parka as an inner layer is a technique for expressing a sporty mix with a sophisticated feel that has become firmly established in men’s fashion. In the mode and street fashion, layering classic overcoats such as trench coats and Chester coats with parkas has become a staple, and the collections of trend-leading brands offer creative layered styles with an oversized cut. In particular, layering a gray parka with a beige trench coat or a beige stainless coat is a classic combination, and this combination is by far the best way to accelerate street style with layers that are tuned to the current mood.
