The fall season is finally in full swing and fashion is the name of the game. Many of us relate the fall season with cold and windy weather. Usually we pile ourselves up in numerous layers and maybe that occasional puff jacket. Whatever the technique may be, we just want to keep warm. So what item is usually light but can keep us warm? That one style that we may never loose track of is probably the “hoodie”.

The “hoodie” is what keeps us warm and snug inside. Walk around campus today and you’ll notice that mostly everyone here at Skyline owns at least one form of a hood. The hood, which usually comes in various styles, brands, and colors have come a long way. Today in the fashion runways you see track suits with hoods, puff jackets, sweaters, and even some vests.

Today however, the fashion scene calls for fur and many of the students here at Skyline have been mixing the very ordinary and practical with something unique

and fresh for winter 2005. My friends, I’m here to introduce and give honor to the furry hoodies.Fur has been part of fashion for ages. Although the trend seems to have its high and its very low points, fur in 2005 has come a long way. Once viewed as a luxurious item, only the elite and those willing to drop loads of cash owned genuine fur jackets. However, the demand for these items rose and many companies started making their own spin on the whole fur craze by concocting man-made replicas of the fur objects. Today, not only can the high end fashionista purchase a real fur jacket, today’s teenager and young adult can play off numerous knock-offs of the famous jacket and put some style to it. You can also see fur linings in almost anything possible, from thick winter jackets, to even boots and some shoes. This, however, does not limit the fur to line the very hoods we are talking about today.

Hoodies have honestly come a long way, and with the great combination of fur the trend seems unstoppable. From guys to girls, no matter what your style, the furry hoodies are a general staple in many fashion forward youths. The color waves these hooded goodies seem to come in are mainly nice neutral and earthy tones.

So go out there and check out these sweaters and jackets, and don’t forget to grab one for the season. No doubt will you be stylin’ and sharp in today’s highest fashion must.
