The biggest crock of shit I was ever told growing up is that “enjoying the outdoors is free.” Physically walking outdoors (if you’re able-bodied) is free and that’s about it. Quality gear that enhances what you can do/your safety is EXPENSIVE. It’s hard to get to nature without a car. Gas is expensive. There are permits and passes and parking fees galore. And about a million other things.

The Basalt Columns of the Giants Causeway

Good times with my wife along the Antrim coast of Northern Ireland.

We spent a few weeks in her homeland late last year and had a chance to explore all over the country. If you ever get the chance to visit, do so and treat yourself. You won't regret it.

Let's go exploring, international edition.

How to Style a Hoodie for Any Occasion

Ways to Dress Up a Hoodie for Any Event

Here’s how to make the most of this essential wardrobe staple!

1. Casual Outings

For a laid-back day out, pair your hoodie with jeans. Opt for a fitted hoodie in classic colors like black, navy, or gray. These shades are easy to match and give a clean look. Add well-fitted denim jeans and comfortable sneakers for a perfect outfit to run errands or grab coffee with friends.

If it’s cool outside, consider layering a denim or leather jacket over your hoodie. This layered look enhances your outfit while keeping it casual and stylish.

2. Gym Ready

Hoodies are ideal for workouts, too. Choose a lightweight, breathable hoodie that allows easy movement. Pair it with athletic shorts or joggers for a complete gym-ready look. Look for hoodies made from moisture-wicking fabric to keep you cool during intense sessions.

Don’t forget your training shoes! They are crucial not only for style but also for performance when hitting the gym.

3. Smart Casual

Want to dress up your hoodie? You can easily achieve a smart-casual look. Select a fitted hoodie in a sophisticated color, like deep green or burgundy, and pair it with chinos or tailored trousers. Chinos add a polished touch while still being comfortable.

For footwear, opt for loafers or clean white sneakers. Adding a blazer over your hoodie can elevate your outfit further, providing a modern twist—perfect for casual Fridays at work or a dinner date.

4. Outdoor Adventures

If you love the outdoors, your hoodie will be your perfect companion. Look for hoodies made from moisture-wicking or thermal materials that provide comfort and warmth. Pair it with cargo shorts for summer hikes or joggers when it’s chilly.

Sturdy hiking shoes or boots are essential for grip and stability, and don’t forget to pack a good-quality backpack and wear a cap to complete your outdoor look.

5. Stay-at-Home Chic

Just because you are at home doesn’t mean you can’t look stylish! Opt for a soft, oversized hoodie for a relaxed outfit. Pair it with joggers or sweatpants for ultimate comfort. If you need to step outside, cute slip-on shoes will do the trick.

Accessorize with a beanie or cap for a trendy edge, and grab some stylish sunglasses for those lazy afternoons on the porch or balcony.

6. Seasonal Styling

Adapt your hoodie style according to the season. In winter, layer it under a warm coat or jacket. For autumn or spring, wear it with a lighter jacket or over a long-sleeve shirt for a fashionable layered look.

In summer, lightweight fabrics and shorter sleeves work best. Consider a zip-up hoodie for easy adjustments to your comfort level as temperatures change throughout the day.

Final Tips

Remember, the key to styling a hoodie effectively is all about the fit and colors. A well-fitted hoodie offers a more polished look compared to a baggy one. Pay attention to the rest of your outfit; combining the right pieces can elevate a simple hoodie into something stylish.

So, the next time you reach for your hoodie, think beyond loungewear! With a little creativity, it can be your go-to option for any occasion, be it hanging out with friends, hitting the gym, or just relaxing at home.

As you explore the versatility of hoodies, consider adding quality pieces like the Iron Shell hoodies to your collection. We can not only provide comfort but also feature stylish designs that can elevate your look for any occasion.

Back Mountain Trail Luzerne, PA 6.83 miles 414 ft. Elevation Gain

I was going to do another hike near Ricketts Glen, but I found this hidden gem! It's an out and back trail, with a casual gain and the trail is maintained so nicely! There was a really nice waterfall about a mile in, and towards the end before you have to turn around and head back. The end, again before turning around does have some road walking but it's not super confusing, there are a couple of signs indicating which way it goes. Really soaking up the scenery but we go from all the colors to blankets of snow, which is still pretty, but autumn just has that better hold on me.
