I, and everyone around my age who loves to dress casually, has and wears hooded sweatshirts, commonly refereed to as hoodies, on a fairly regular basis. The UK media portrays people who wear such garments as young vagabonds, hoodlums who are going to destroy decent society, but look at the video below and tell me what you see. It’s Steve Jobs, and he sure as hell isn’t wearing a black turtle neck, it’s a hoodie.

For all the shit people give me, and the youth, about how informal and how vulgar such a simple garment is, I think this is a testament to the fact that there is nothing wrong with our “style”, that perceptions have changed, and it is not us who have to adapt, but you.

So wear your hoodie with pride, because if the CEO of a 50 billion dollar a year company can wear one and feel no shame, then you should too.

    Chill out. Life’s too short.

    I bet the video was taken with a Nokia.

  • Will Park

    I have a black hoodie!

  • Chris P

    He looks like some kind of creepy cult leader. (Which is kind of is)

  • Jables

    He also used to wear short-shorts and let his balls hang out when he put his feet up at company meetings. Steve Jobs is NOT one to take fashion tips from in the professional world.
