How To Enhance Your Vacation Look with a Stylish Hoodie

It’s vacation time! There’s a lot that you need to consider before traveling, including what to pack and how to include some stylish vacation outfits into the mix. Whether you’re going to your regular holiday spot or a new place where no one knows you, it is the perfect opportunity to try out a brand new look. 

One wardrobe essential for any vacation is a hoodie.

Although summer is near, it can get chilly at night. A hoodie is a perfect item to carry with you to toss on when the temperature drops.

You may think you need to sacrifice style for comfort, particularly when considering wearing a hoodie. However, that is simply not true. You can buy a designer hoodie made of quality material or even design one of your own.

According to Printful, there are many ways to customize a hoodie, whether by creating one by hand or online.

Creating a Hoodie Online

The easiest way to customize a hoodie is to visit an online on-demand printer. You simply upload a photograph or a design that you’ve created to their website. You then select the hoodie on which you want your design to appear.

If you are not an artist, you can still create an amazing hoodie. The website has tools to help you create a design, including a handful of stock images and PixArt to choose from. You can also add lettering to your hoodie design.

Once this is complete, the company will print out your shirt and mail it to you. Many companies have an expedited mail option, so you can get your hoodie in just a couple of days. 

Some on-demand printers even allow you to sell your products through their sites. They make it easy enough to connect your website or online store to the on-demand platform where potential customers can view and order your specially designed hoodie.

If many people mention that they like your design, you may have a whole new career on your hands.

How do I Select an On-Demand Printer?

A good printer should offer its customers plenty of options, including a wide selection of clothing to choose from. They should also have plenty of different colors and sizes on offer.

Select a company that has been in business for a few years as well as a collection of great customer reviews.

You should bear in mind that cheaper is not always better when it comes to printing companies.

The best companies always make use of the latest printing equipment, including automated sewing machines that can create embroidered shirts.

You may be wondering…

What Material Is the Most Stylish for My Hoodie?

Cotton is a quality material and without doubt one of the best materials for a hoodie.

It is breathable, so it will not smell. Cotton is also warm, easy to clean, and feels wonderful against your skin. 

Fleece hoodies are warmer than those made out of cotton and are perfect for winter while cotton is best for summer vacation wear.

Natural fibers always hold color the best. This is important if you are looking for something fashionable to wear. 

What Kind of a Design Should I Put on My Hoodie?

The possibilities of what to put on your hoodie are endless. So, you can get as creative as you want.

You can put anything you can draw or create with online tools on the back or front of your hoodie.

If you want to emulate the most popular hoodies of the season, here are a few things you can do.

Make Personalized Designer Knock Offs

Top designers charge top dollar for their casual wear. This is no secret.

Every year fashion magazines decide what designs are the best and people who are conscious of the latest styles and trends will pay the price for those trending designs. Naturally, there will also be many cheap knock-offs of these popular designs. 

You do not have to break the bank to get your hands on on of these designer items, nor do you need to buy a knockoff. You can use top designers for inspiration, without infringing on their copyrights when you use an on-demand printer.

One of the most popular hoodie designs of 2023 is The Lazy Oaf Hoodie. The top is made entirely out of organic material and features several words and pictures spread out all over the shirt. 

You can buy one of these popular sweatshirts or you can use the idea for inspiration. Go on an on-demand site and upload a few images that are important to you. Type in a few words that express who you are and what’s important to you. Spread them around the shirt. You will have a designer-inspired hoodie that is both in style and shows off your personality. 

The Nemen Vape Hoodie is also trending at the moment. They have two-toned hoodies featuring their initials and logo. You have the option of buying one of these hoodies, but you should know that they cost around $350. Of course, you could also make yourself a two-toned hoodie with your monogram printed across the front.

Show Off Your Artwork on a Hoodie

Top designers will put a full piece of artwork on a hoodie.

If you are a budding artist, you do not necessarily need a gallery to display your artwork. You can place a painting on the back of a sweatshirt or put it on the front of a zip-up hoodie. If you use a top-quality printing company, the colors will look vibrant and your artwork will stand out in a crowd. It will also last for a long time. 

Bonus: If you are trying to sell your artwork, displaying a painting on a t-shirt is a great way to introduce and advertise your work to the public. Don’t forget to set up a store on an e-commerce platform, where those who are interested in your items are able to take a closer look and *cross-fingers* make a purchase.

You also have the option to advertise the shirt on social media, where it has the potential to be seen by a large number of people across numerous online groups. People who then buy your shirts and wear them will introduce your work to anyone who sees the shirt.

People will be more inclined to buy a $25 hoodie on social media than they will be to buy a $1,000 painting by an unknown artist. 

You can get a good idea of what people think of your artwork by displaying it on a shirt. Doing so means that you will not have to worry about the trouble and expense of finding a gallery or getting into someone else’s show to show off your artwork.

Make an Embroidered Hoodie

There are only a handful of things that can add flare to an outfit the way embroidery can. Find an on-demand printer that offers an automated embroidery machine. This machine will make perfect stitches and it can do it in a fraction of the time it would take you to do it by hand. 

Embroidered flowers will add a touch of elegance to a hoodie. However, an automated machine can create virtually any image in a thread. Machine sewn stitches will last longer than the hand sewn ones, so you can enjoy your hoodie for years to come and will not have to worry about them snagging or coming loose.

Make a Company Hoodie for a Work Trip

If you have a fantastic company logo, a hoodie can be a great way to show it off. If you are going on a work trip, make a hoodie for everyone that’s traveling with you. The shirts will advertise your company and give your employees a sense of belonging. You can also give hoodies away as a prize in a contest for customers and employees alike.

Show Your Wit and Wisdom

If you are the type of person that expresses yourself with words rather than through pictures, you can put a clever saying on your hoodie. Make sure to select a plain font and to use large letters and bold colors so people will actually be able to read what you have written.

If there is a famous life or travel quote that you live by, you can always put that on a shirt. Fans of books, movies, and video games often like to put references to the characters they love on sweatshirts. 

A single word on a shirt can also make a statement. People were walking around in shirts that said, “kale” for months after Beyonce danced in one in a video. An embroidered single-word hoodie will look great. Try using an obscure word to start a conversation or use your favorite word to let the people you meet on your vacation know who you are.

Add Flair to an Old Hoodie  

If your vacation is coming up very soon, you may not have enough time to go online and design your own hoodie. You can recycle one of your old shirts or buy a cheap white hoodie from your local discount store.

If you are a wiz with a needle and thread, you can embroider your initials onto the front of a shirt. Get a cheap white hoodie at your local discount store and tie-dye it with a kit from an arts and crafts store. Make sure to put plenty of paper down in your work area. The dyes are often messy, but the shirts are also beautiful.

Paint a design onto a hoodie with acrylic paint and iron over it to set the design. The paint won’t last forever, but it should last through your vacation.

Any article of clothing can have style if you personalize it. A custom hoodie is a way to show off your imagination at an affordable price.
