From humblest of beginnings, this staple piece of garment became an indispensable part of streetwear culture-an inalienable lifestyle staple for modern streetwear followers. So far behind mere style, comfort, and self-expression, how did it get this far? Where did the hoodie come from, how did it become one of the most iconic streetwear pieces? At Dream loom, we celebrate the depth of history behind the hoodie while topping it off with our twist within the Dream loom oversized hoodies. This staple piece becomes not only a fashion item but an experience.

In this blog post, we track the evolution of the hoodie from its origins as workwear to streetwear. We also highlight how Dream loom originals like our oversized hoodies in this blog carry the mantle forward while bringing that freshness with a modern twist to the hoodies this legendary wardrobe staple was destined for.

The Humble Beginnings: Hoodies as Functional Workwear

The hoodie was created in the 1930s, but it has its current form. It was a workpiece, basically made as working clothes for those who would be exposed to cold temperatures for long periods of time. The very first hooded sweatshirts were manufactured by Champion, a company which attempted to make some kind of apparel for athletes and workers performing jobs in extreme environments. The first attraction of this sweater was its usability-the sweatshirt's hood served to protect people from dust, wind, and other climate phenomena, while the soft, durable fabric could serve to keep warm and feel cozy.

From its origins as the most humbly utilitarian of attires, the hoodie sprouted up rapidly. It did not take much time for the hoodie to seep into social playgrounds and be accommodated into casual wear from being strictly work wear. With the onset of the 20th century, it was to become a staple in athletic, student, and finally, a subculture wearing the versatility and comfort.

As inspired by these early designs, there still lies an inspiration in such classic clothing outfits by Dream loom. The entire concept is somewhat modernized through oversized hoodies from Dream loom. The Streetwear aesthetic so effortlessly wraps in functionality as well as style to let our customers enjoy the very comfort and history of this timeless piece in the Dream loom design.

 

The Rise of the Hoodie in Streetwear Culture

We are going to explore the evolution of the hoodie in streetwear culture.
The hoodie, indeed, had fully become a cultural phenomenon in the 1970s and 1980s as hip-hop artists, skaters, and streetwear enthusiasts embraced it for rebellious individuality, as well as for the urban culture of this generation. At such a time, the hoodie began to take on a new life as being more than just practical outerwear but rather a tool for self-expression with each hoodie design speaking to one's personal style, affiliation, and even subcultural identity.

The '90s saw a rise in popularity brought by the efforts of designers like Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger through its introduction into the mainstream fashion arena. The interest in the garment was further heightened and cemented when Calvin Klein introduced it as one of its staple pieces in streetwear fashion, making the hoodie an essential for comfort lovers wanting to merge comfortable style with the edgy coolness of the urban flavor.

We at Dream loom continue to advance the streetwear standard to further and greater heights by offering Dream loom originals that honor this rich history while remaining modern and fresh. Our Dream loom oversized hoodies are more than mere clothing-they really represent an aspect of personal style, creativity, and comfort. Every Dream loom design touches aspects of time-honored classic streetwear with innovative designs inspired by anime, art, and minimalism.

The Hoodie as a Symbol of Self-Expression

One of the reasons as to why the hoodie has hung in there so well for such a long time in streetwear is that it allows for a sense of personalism. For decades, the hoodies have served as a way of self-expression, where people can express who they are and their personality and style. It may be an abstract design that features a favorite band, a painting, or something randomly abstract, but that gives a wearer a way to visualize who they are.

Dream loom takes up this tradition through oversized hoodies from Dream loom, which are certainly not plain comfort clothing but rather wearable art. In Dream loom, our design flaunts styles with diversified fashion ranges - from bold anime-inspired prints to clean, minimalist aesthetics. Any design by Dream loom is a story in itself where the wearer doesn't need words of mouth.

Similarly, our oversized sweatshirts, in accordance with the thought that comfort does not necessarily mean sacrificing style, reflect in each carefully curated design and high-quality fabric. Thus, it embodies where comfort meets self-expression.
