The word Hoodie comes from the word 'Hood' which basically has the same roots as the English word 'Hat'. Makes sense right?
Hooded garments have been around for centuries and while they are typically more common among students in the present day, they were actually the clothing of the monks in the beginning. As years went by, the outdoor workers found safety and protection from cold in the form of hoodies. But come to 1970s and that is when the hoodie hit the mainstream. The hip hop culture in the US and an appearance in the 1976 iconic blockbuster 'Rocky' brought hoodies out on the streets.
Soon hoodies would come with university logos and turned into a statement of academic spirit. Mark Zuckerberg always sports one since his Harvard university days.
It is only fitting that what started as something monks would wear is now something that students usually sport.
