I think the deal is that some folks view a hoodie as being like a sweatshirt or like jacket, but these days, a hoodie is more often than not an article to complete a ensemble. I'm not a big hoodie wearer myself, I pretty much only wear it if it's cool outside.
You could almost think of a hoodie as being like a versatile blazer for millennials.
You can wear it with jeans an a t-shirt or with a button up and a tie. (not that I do or would)
Or, wretch, under a blazer.
