Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic Growing up in Texas toward the tail end of the 20th century, I was not taught about Emmett Till. I’ve learned about him since, of course. Till’s name adorns this year’s overdue federal antilynching act, and his tragic fate has inspired plays and films, including 2018’s Oscar-nominated short, “My Nephew Emmett,” and now a powerful new feature from Chinonye Chukwu, who gave Alfre Woodard one of her greatest roles in 2019 Sundance winner “Clemency.” Till’s story — that of a 14-year-old Black boy from Chicago who was kidnapped in the middle of the night and lynched while visiting his family in Mississippi — may have been omitted from my Southern schooling for racist reasons, though I suspect it had as much to do with Western culture’s “great man” bias. History, as a field of study, celebrates the achievements of heroic individuals. Nat Turner, Harriet Tubman, Rosa Parks. Those names were all taught. But Emmett Till was a kid whose murder galvanized the American civil rights movement, and it has taken a different kind of thinking — à la “Say Their Names” campaign or Ryan Coogler’s “Fruitvale Station” — to position victims in the public’s mind.

Some days, we just want to live in a warm, cozy hoodie. The only reason we’re ever not wearing one — especially in the cold weather — is that we wanted or needed to put on something more fashionable before leaving the house. While they feel like heaven, hoodies typically fall solely into the loungewear category, not ever meant to be part of a “real outfit.”
So, what can we do to make it so we really can wear a hoodie every day? We need to expand our mindset. Not all hoodies have to be heavy pullovers or ultra-casual zip-ups. What about a dress instead? Adding this hoodie dress from Amazon to your fall wardrobe is one of the smartest moves you can make heading into the cold weather!
Get The Drop Claudia Cuddle Hoodie Midi Dress for just $50 at Amazon! Please note, prices are accurate at the date of publication, September 16, 2022, but are subject to change.
This hoodie dress is made of a super cozy, stretchy sweater blend, made with mostly viscose to keep things light and breathable. There’s no wool or anything, so this is an animal-friendly pick — and a machine-washable one, which we always love to see. The fit is so great too, designed to follow the body without being clingy or tight. It’s also not loose or baggy the way you’d expect from most other hoodies!
This dress, of course, has a slouchy hoodie, plus long, flat drawstrings that also act as a stylish accent. You’ll also find small slits at the sides of the midi hem, which should reach to around the calves on most people. Great details — but what if you’re looking for a different color? There are seven on the Amazon page!
