Being judged for having your hood up?

IDencI

Today I was just walking through town, minding my own business. I had a baggy tracksuit on and my hood up. I noticed that every few people who drove past were looking at me as if I had done something wrong. It was a cold day and I was freezing me boll*x off, so I put my hood up. Whats so wrong with having your hood up?? Why judge people for the way they dress?

Just a heads up given that you appear to be new to boards - this site is full of people who rarely venture outside their front door, and a side effect of this condition is the over-emphasis on stereotypes - hoodies, travellers, teachers, nurses and even students - all of these get a hard time on here due to the condition - dont take it personal

Warm ears are more important than a craven need to have strangers rate your wardrobe.

People can see someone walking down a street with a balaclava on over their face and it's deemed okay as they are wearing lycra cycling clothes also;
however,
some see someone wearing tracky-pants and the hood of the jumper/jacket up over their head, with their face completely visible, & fear and paranoia kicks in.

I wear hoodies sometimes. Put the hood up when cold but don't notice anyone looking any different at me.
I've been privy to discussions and debates with others commenting negativley at people wearing hoodies, but once I say that I also enjoy wearing hoodies the odd time, they just go silent and end that conversation.

Everyone will be different,
Just wear what you are comfortable in,

Unless your a kid/teenager or going training, then wearing a hoodie and a tracksuit around town says a lot about you to some people.

Are you sure you're not imagining that? I'd wear hoodies sometimes and have the hood up if it was cold or raining, don't notice anyone looking at me strange.

Just be apathetic and you'll be grand.

Start dressing better and it won't be an issue.

Having learned to my cost when I was 67, I'm afraid I give anybody between 15 and 40 in a hooded tracksuit a wide birth. No offence but you have to abmit that that particular look carries a stereotype with it.

Does a hoodie keep yer boll*x warm???
Maybe it was the way you were wearing it that had people looking strange....

Actually it would, as the majority of heat is lost through your head, so Yes, hoodie would help keep your tads warm
