in the hood

Fashion over function is typically the mandate for New York Fashion Week goers. But not this year, as they're opting to weather the cold in more practical style--with help from the humble hoodie. Worn under a more luxurious statement coat, this practical layer lends much-needed warmth, downtown edge--and, ideally, a fun pop of color. I like these hoodies from H&M, Topshop, Volcom, Tibi, Rebecca Minkoff and James Perse.
