I'm 32 and I like to wear hoodies and a hat, or a beanie if its cold. I also wear jeans and Nikes

Is 32 too old to dress like this? I'm not sure how else to dress. Collared shirts and sweaters is what I see guys 9 years older then me wear

Im 62 years old, I will never stop wearing a hoodie. why? Because I dont need to wear a hat. Second working in construction for 30 years, put your hoodie on, then hard hat! And no draft down your back.
I have always worried more about being like Travon Martin and some bigot puts some bullets in me for wearing a hoodie!
Thanks for this!

I'm 49 (female though) and I wear hoodies all winter. I feel safe in them. The only time I wear something different in the late fall-mid-spring is if I'm going to somewhere I need to wear a sweater or blouse. It's like a weighted blanket for me.

MD, since I retired I wear t-shirts and jeans or cargo pants. If I need to "dress up" I wear a polo shirt. No hoodie right now because of the heat, but wear either a hoodie or flannel shirt if it's cool outside.

Those who work need to follow the employer's dress code. Otherwise, wear what you are comfortable wearing.

I often wear hoodies when I am dressed casually or for athletics. There’s no age limit. I am almost 60

I am 64...goodies are very common item here in Northeast. I wear mine daily in the Fall and Winter. I no longer work so I lead a more casual life With that said, there are situations where I would not wear a hoodie.

On a day when I might be feeling down dressing up to nicer clothes can help me.

I'm 56 & wear hoodies sometimes when it's cold. They're comfortable, cute & classic. I need to get ones that have graphics that fit with my interests. Especially as a a volunteer (mostly with animals).

You're 32-years-old. Wear what you want. Life is too short to care what others think.

I’m 31 and wear hoodies. I don’t see how hoodies would have an age limit. Wear what you feel comfortable in.

Near practical as socks I say. You may not need one every day but they're a functional thing. I'm 64 and I use 'em when needed. Worn them on and off since childhood and the situation remains the same. Handy piece of kit as they say. Kangaroo sweaters they were called when I was a kid and always they were thick 100% cotton. I look for old vintage sweatshirts and hoodies in thrift stores all the time. Comfortable!

My therapist gave me a hard time about wearing them when I was 19. She thought I should have been wearing kahakis and sweaters.

Now my current therapist will wear hoodies herself in sessoions.

Is 32 too old to be wearing hoodies?


It is if your name is Fetterman. Ollies Bargain Outlet had Champions on sale this spring. I bought a half dozen at $7.99 each.
I'm more than twice 32.

Champion stuff can be great quality. I've had 100% cotton sweatshirts from them bought new.

Champion reverse weave sweat shirts and hoodies are heavy duty and state of the art.

Good grief she sounds like she needed a word with herself. That’s just ridiculous. Surely the whole point of therapy is to enable others to make their own choices??
