………………………In many cases “hoodies” have replaced jackets…..they ARE the new jacket……..I am a jacket designer and there is nothing like a good fitting blazer, but even I have to say with the world is becoming more and more casual and dress codes are relaxing……..Hoodies have become the thing………………It is my job to make sure the hoodies you choose to wear have style and panache…….They have to go beyond the utilitarian look that you find in so many sporting goods stores……Do I dare say it……a dressier hoodie……For me they have to have a sophistication……a chicness that women who have lived in blazers and dressier jackets are willing and happy to relinquish for a good looking hoodie……………I think I have achieved that with this new Zip front COTTON/SPAN HOODIE, A273297 ……The silhouette is A-line, and has shape through the upper body with the use of front princess seams before it flares slightly over the hips. There are patch pockets with the band insert for easy access……..a Linea signature….The subtle tonal signature is embroidered on the pocket. The fit of the hood is easy…….The contrast “racing stripe” from the neckline to the top of the cuff has become the must have detail on every designer collection. The cuff matches the racing stripe. The jacket is approx 30 inches long for the xs, and has a STRAIGHT hem. This is a good length to wear with all types of leggings whether full length as my LINEA BODY LEGGING, A260034 or my LINEA BODY CAPRI LEGGING, A274374. If leggings aren’t your thing then I would recommend my LINEA LEISURE PULL ON PANT, A262070/A262072, shown above in the white. These pants were actually designed to go with this Hoodie and all of the colors that are offered in this pant will work back to this jackets…..so if you already have the pant you are 50% ahead of the game! The jacket has a two way zipper with the LINEA SIGNATURE ZIPPER PULL…….gunmetal on the black…………………Along with the jacket I am offering a new LINEA LEISURE SHELL, A273298……..The neckline is scooped, but isn’t low. There are PRINCESS SEAMS front and back for a close to the body fit, but not a tight fit. It is approx. 24 inches long for the xxs…..All of the shells will match the racing stripe…in this case WHITE……..I can offer you three different styles of earrings in gunmetal to work with this jacket…..the SWIRL, J284033, avail in clip or pierces [on clearance] the DEMI HOOP, J270391, avail in clip or pierced [now on clearance], or the BOLD HOOP, J288005……No matter what your style one of these will work for you…..If you would like to add a necklace, so when you remove the jacket you are accessorized, I would recommend either the BAR NECKLACE, J325471 in the GUNMETAL or the LARIAT, J325469. I happen to love the silver and gunmetal worn together………………………………………………
…………………………….enjoy……….much Love……………….Louis
This hoodie is a must have Louis. I have to tell you that I once designed a ski wear collection for Carrera, an upscale active sportswear manufacturer. One outfit was a black “jumpsuit” with black jet “square” flat sequins on it. The elegance of this hoodie reminded me of that “jumpsuit”. 😀
Aaaahhhh! Another fabulous hoodie! Which color(s) to get…am drawn to the taupe/sherbet. By the way, just got your taupe swing cardigan and loooove the color. Also received the snap front hoodies in black and sage. They are so cute and comfy!! Can’t wait til it cools off to wear them.
Love and appreciate your attention to the finer details. Q: is the inside of the hood all one color, have matching stiches to the color of the racing stripe, e.g. white stiches in the black hood, or …?
The hood is all black
