A hoodie for all seasons

The cool drizzle of Seattle's late spring means you can't put all your winter clothes away just yet. But making the transition from rainy to sunny here is still a challenge. Thankfully, there is the short-sleeved hoodie from Triple Five Soul.

Long before Juicy Couture blanketed the world with velour sweat suits, Triple Five Soul was the hip-hop hoodie designer of choice for velour. Their spring line offers hoodies of all types: short-sleeved ($75-$99), as a dress ($90), and even as a sleeveless halter ($68). The short-sleeved version is perfect for Seattle summer, and the slight puff of the sleeve adds a bit of femininity.

Much of the Triple Five Soul line is available at Flit Boutique, a smartly stocked, compact shopping spot tucked around the corner from Lenin in Fremont. Flit carries affordable, fashion-forward designs from an ever-changing list of designers, including flowy dresses from Voom ($115-$249) and ginormous bucket bags from Tano ($135-$185).

Can't make it to Fremont? Owner Pesha Nguyen regularly posts images on her blog and takes orders via phone. (Note: They are closed Monday and Tuesday.)
