Crisp, cool air and warm, reliable cobijas that feel like family heirlooms can only mean one thing – hoodie season is upon us. All year long, people clamor for the warm, summer months but by August we’re just about ready to be done with the constant threat of unseemly sweat, humid trains, and scorching hot commutes in heavy traffic.
After all, there’s something therapeutic about protecting yourself from the elements with a sweater that fits just right and lets the world know what you’re about without you even having to say a word. With that in mind, we’ve compiled a list of hoodies designed by Latinx and Latin Americans that you can cop now with fall in full swing.
