I have probably worn a hoodie every day, at some point in the day, for the last...what feels like 800 years. I'm wearing one now, I will wear one tomorrow, and I will probably be buried in one.

They started with the Gildan Fleece Hooded Sweatshirt, which I happen to own in four different colors ā€” it's super soft, roomy, and just the kind of thing you can curl up in when you're on your 18th hour of King of the Hill BUT it's also, just a freakin' sweatshirt.

I will say, it is a pretty popular sweatshirt with nearly 23,000 5-star reviews on Amazon. Twenty. Three. Thousand. It honestly might be the most popular hoodie on the internet.

But legit, it's a basic sweatshirt. No bells and whistles, no fancy logos, no matching biker shorts ā€” I repeat, just a sweatshirt. So how could this possibly be styled?

Well, folks. As per usual I have been proven to know nothing. What started out as a basic sweatshirt became a lesson in DIYing and accessorizing that I've never seen the likes of.

My newfound style icons did everything from paint, draw, crop, to layer, and tuck this classic hoodie.

Some testers kept it classic while others made me think I should wear a hoodie to my next business casual event.

And if you don't (or could maybe use a fresh one) make sure to grab the Gildan Fleece Hooded Sweatshirt from Amazon for $11+ (available in men's sizes Sā€“5XL and in 31 colors).
