I have no problem admitting that I love hoodies. You can be comfortable, warm and look half-decent all in one jersey cotton bundle. You can also scare racist people who think “thugs” and rappers wear hoodies when they go shoplifting. This hoodie is kind of confused. He wants to be a cardigan, with a  sensible button front and #menswear approved toggle collar, but holds on to his hood roots. Wear this Penfield sweatshirt with your spread collar and tight, too short chinos. Resist the urge to tell people this is your Take Ivy look. Be secretly bummed when a street style blogger describes your look as "casual Sunday" instead of "a fresh take on Take Ivy." You can't win them all.
