Black Teen Boys Quarter Zip Sweater Trend

QUARTER ZIP SWEATER

We’re talking about a new trend among young African American men. More and more are trading in hoodies, baggy jeans and streetwear for quarter-zip sweaters, loafers, matcha lattes. It’s a business-casual vibe. Some call it an uplifting shift toward respectability and ambition while others warn it risks erasing parts of black style and identity. The quarter zip…. is it a trend or something deeper?
