The hoodie under the blazer look has become an NBA fashion staple
LeBron James sports some NBA style: a hoodie under a blazer. By Jacob Bogage Jacob Bogage National sports writer and blogger Email Bio Follow March 20 at 7:00 AM Mike Jones sat in the back parking lot of DeMatha Catholic High School and counted the students trickling out of the building wearing the NBA’s latest fashion trend.
“We joke and say, ‘That’s the DeMatha look,’"said Jones, who graduated from DeMatha in 1991 and said the hoodie-and-blazer look was already in style at the school when he was a student. “We identify it as ours; this is where it started. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s other private schools that have a blazer as a part of their uniform that have done it, too, but I just know we’ve done it for a really long time.

It wasn’t something special or, ‘Oh, that’s different.’ It was the usual.” Designers love the idea of the “commuter as nomad,” she wrote. Guys often don’t have the time or space to pack a separate outfit for the gym, so they throw on their blazers over their hoodies. Brands like Public School NYC and Rag & Bone have played on this aesthetic with similar looks.
DeMatha students hit on a key component of modern street style, said Ryen Anderson, a style expert at retailer Stitch Fix.
