Too Old for Hoodie?

I'm 48 and look at least 10-15 yrs younger (hated it when I was 30, now love it). I bought a sweater hoodie to wear with jeans. How old are you if you wear such a sweater.

sweaters aren't really an age restricted piece of clothing. so long as it fits well and looks nice it shouldn't be an issue.

I was talking more about wearing a hoodie than wearing a sweater; but maybe that's what you mean.

Depends on the hoodie and who you are and what your style is.

Well, I'm in my mid 30s and I only wear a hoodie when I go snowboarding or around the home. I don't really wear it out any more unless it's a quick run to convenience store etc...

Like it was said above, depends on your style.

Well the overly graphic hoodies with dragons and **** or logos probably arent the best bet.
But anything that fits well like a Wing&Horns hoodie at the top end or an AA at the low end will look fine.

I'm in my early 30's and still love wearing my Band of Outsiders one around the house and to the gym, not sure if i'd wear one elsewhere tho.

hoodies kind of say either "can't be bothered to dress" or "soccer hooligan." there's probably a lot of overlap there. not into them on anyone, but i kind of begrudge their use to people in college or younger.

never too old, just depends on your style. I think they're fine as long as not worn sloppily.
