Today’s men’s casual fashions are geared toward comfort with a sense of style. Many men love to sport the jeans look, with a dressier shirt for special occasions. The modern man likes to have alternatives to his wardrobe — gone are the days of the khaki and button-down uniform.

Currently, men love to don a sweatshirt and go on their way. Luckily, there are many different types of sweatshirts available. Sweatshirts can be found at just about all clothing retailers — from storefront shops to a favored online clothes shop. Here’s a look at four of the favorite sweatshirt styles for men.

Men’s Hoodies

Men’s hoodies are, perhaps, the most popular style today. These are pullover-type sweatshirts, including a hood, as the name implies. Comfortable and versatile, these sweatshirts are popular with celebrities at special events.

Zippered Sweatshirt

The zippered sweatshirt is another style that men love to wear. Like the hoodie, it features a hood, but rather than being a pullover, it has an easy-to-wear zippered front. The fabric can vary from heavyweight fleece and wool to lighter weight fabrics for year-round wear.

Pullover Sweatshirt

The classic pullover sweatshirt without a hood is still extremely popular. Comfortable and versatile, men love this favorite, particularly when it is adorned with their favorite sports team logo or other imprint.

Poncho Sweatshirt

The poncho sweatshirt is a pullover type with a very loose, relaxed fit. This type of sweatshirt works well as a stand alone item or as a jacket.

No matter which style is your favorite, you’ll always feel comfortable in a sweatshirt.

Popular Fashion Era Costumes

Getting ready for your next costume party, dance or at-home party?

The options for purchasing your favorite go-go boots or tie dyed T-shirt are only minutes away.

Online sources such as costumeexpress.com offer the wearer an upscale party fashion. Other sources for purchase may be your nearest garage sale or consignment shop.

But before you shop, consider the styles typically worn during the era:

1950s clothing for men includes dress shirts, knit sweaters and square toed dress shoes. Women enjoyed wiggle dresses, pencil dresses and sunglasses with flowers.

Clothing for the 1960s includes dress shirts and pullovers for men in colors like pumpkin orange and blue. Try a shag wig to compliment the look. For women, a hippie costume and go-go boots will make you a hit.

Clothing for the 1970s offers men and women endless disco attire. Wear a flower power hippie dress or tux-out in a purple velvet suit.

1980s clothing keeps men in the game with warm up jackets, baseball shirts and Lee Denim Jeans, while women prefer the crop jacket or disco denim jeans.

1990s clothing hits pretty close to home but there is still some variety when it comes to men’s and women’s clothing. Check out  what Nike and Adidas had to offer men and the over-sized sweaters and narrow jeans brought to women.

Getting the best fashion era costume for your event depends largely on you and less on knowing where to purchase them. Get help from online sources who carry everything you need. Or try a thrift store; someone may have just cleaned out their closet.
