Saturday Style: Every Cutie With a Booty Bought a “Coogi”
Posted by Bossip Staff
It’s Coogi y’all. Since the new Notorious movie is coming out at the end of the week we can’t help but remember when Biggie threw that line out in the title, also the one, “However living better now Coogi sweaters now.”
Born in Australia, raised in Europe, and growing up on the streets of America, Coogi is truly an international brand. Its heritage as an Australian Brand inspired its classic vibrant patterns and colors palette true to the wild and authentic bravado that is Australian heritage.
Acquired by a Group of Companies in 2003 one of the first charges was to add the element of high end apparel which naturally brought them first to design houses of Malan and then to the heart of New York where they tapped into a more sophisticated luxe look… perfect for the aspirational need of today’s young man. Coogi’s greatest asset is still its 36-year history, reaching back into 1969. There unusual knitting technique and twisted yarn sweaters, makes the brand easily recognizable. Coogi design concepts are based on four fundamental factors.
1. Color (vibrant and tumultuous)2. Movement (swirling serpentine knits and amazing intrinsic detail)
3. Pattern (intricate layers of different depths and positions)
4. Texture (luxurious, extremely buttery hands, and smooth feels)
The company is still held down by the “roots”, not only by the urban community, but by the globe. They have been legit in the male and female fashion world for the longest with clothes presentable on all facets. So, if you are wondering where Coogi went, the answer is: global. No longer known for just loud colors and sweaters, they offer shorts, polos, blazers, and even attractive shoes.

I love Biggie. He is still my favorite rapper!! Can’t wait to go see the movie.
rest in peace biggie… we miss u!
I hate coogi all the ghetto broads and hodd rats wear it way too much…
I’m not crazy about Coogi. It’s too loud for my taste.
I’ve never liked Coogi. I love The Skorpion Show
My mother and her ex have coogi fits, she got the dress and he got the sweater they thought they were cute
@Mrs. Rance
@Ms. Wandaphull
What??? Ya’ll dont like Coogi!! lol
I’m kidding.
I would not be caught dead in that overpriced ugly stuff. I agree with ya Ms. Wonderful (*wink*)…..the only people I see wearing this crap is ghetto broads. Hey…it has to match the colored weave and the neon bright colors on their acrylic nails!!
I’ll stick to Express, The Gap, and the like. I’m too old for that stuff anyways.
The Notorious B.I.G is the greatest rapper that ever lived.
Coogi, not so much.
It’s threw not through.
i miss the 90’s so much….im in pain seeing this shit
We should remember Biggie,yes, but not for those ass ugly sweaters! I hated those. Cosby killed me . Those damn things were artistic but UGLY. People will wear ANYTHING for status.
And Bossip those Asic Gel looking shoes are NOT attractive.
Now who the fuck is this/pagin me at 5:46 in the morning/crack of dawn-in/now I’m yawnin’/wipe the cold out my eye/see who is is pagin’ me/and why/
CLASSIC………
R.I.P No-No-No-Notorious…….
*see who is THIS
The dude is cool!
Bill Cosby is actually the first icon to rock Coogi like that….
I still can’t believe that Angela Bassett is appearing in this movie. . .
SMH.
I liked Cliff Huxtable’s sweaters, lol.
@Sydney
Me either! How did she get cast to play Voletta Wallace?? I don’t see it. Nothing against Mrs. Wallace, I just don’t see it.
As far as Coogi is concerned, I hated this stuff. I used to seee couples wearing matching sweaters to show their togetherness!! Lol!
@Angee
Yeah, I was stunned to hear that Angela was going to appear in this movie that looks like a BET flick to me.
Oh, well, another film for me to skip. . .
“it’s my nigga pop from the barber shop/told me he was in the gambling spot/and heard the intricate plot/ How niggas wanna stick me like fly papa’ babay/ slow down, please chill, drop the caper!
I think my dad has a Coogi sweater from like back in 1993, but his look more like the Bill Cosby ones.
and who the fuck is this fat man??
@Raquel26
@charlieblanko
Keep going!!
I HATE COOGI SWEATERS AND ALL THEIR CLOTHING..I DON’T CARE HOW CUTE A GUY LOOKS IF I SEE HIM WEARING A COOGI SWEATER I WOULD NEVER SPEAK TO HIM….AND THAT ALSO GOES FOR THAT OVERSIZED LEATHER JACKETS THAT GUYS WEAR IN THE HOOD WITH ALL THE STUFF WRITTEN ON IT UGGGHHHHH…GROSS……..
MEN SOME OF THE STUFF YA’LL WEAR IS AN INSTANT TURNOFF..
CHRISSY, YOU SOUND OPEN MINDED. TAKE A LOOK AT THE SITE. lIKE THE ARTICLE SAYS, THEY ARE GOING INTO A NEW ERA, AND ARE VERY AWARE OF IT. SOME OF THE GEAR IS VINTAGE COOGI, AND SOME OF IT MY DAUGHTER OR SON WOULD LOVE, AS WELL AS MY WIFE. THE BLACK JACKETS AND POLOS ARE COLD BLOODED. NO,NOT THE LOUD ONES EITHER
lol, daym i dont know where yall been but coogi’s used to be the shyt. specially them coogi dresses …and how bout coogi’s are still hot for the guys, they got the sweaters in the all one colors and they are tight
MUTHAFUCKA
I thought all these years he said “coochi’s wetter now”
OMG I hate our low standards, doesn’t that sound ridiculous when you read it without the beat and production this is what’s iconic to this race JESUS, he was a FU*CKING entertainer period nothing more nothing less, look some people didn’t even know what the hell he was saying.
@TiVo
That’s because your mind was in the gutter! Lol!
it still is “coochies wetter now” for me
Ya, know bossip. You are now my favorite blog. Dope shit. I don’t live in the states, and coogi is old school respectable clothing when worn correctly. Get it together brothers and sisters.
Nobody has Swagger like Biggie Christopher Wallace was the Man R.I.P
I wiil go out and support this movie but I hate diddy with a passion
Coogie is str8, I like some of their newer men’s designs, it takes a confident man to rock colors like that
People still wear Coogi? Coogi has been played out for over 10 years.
Biggie was a great rapper but no where near the greatest! That title is reserved for 2 Pac. If it were not for Diddy and some east coast niggas he would be more or less forgotten now.
Yes people are wearing coogi again, College students who wanna spend the money mostly
You old people need to catch up
It’s not hot like it was back in the day. Who wears that shit these days anyway?
Heyyyy…I just copped two Coogi fits. They hittin’ out here in LA, that’s if you got three notes at least.
Hey dont let bossip pump yall up to go cop some Coogi.
Those sweaters make my eyes bleed
Aight Bossip, how much was the check for?
I have a few Coogi dresses and I have class and they are very nice,comfortable, to each his own
HOT!!
That’s Biggie
It was all a dream
used to read Word up magazine
Salt n Pepa and Heavy D up in the limosine
Spit yo game talk yo shit
grab yo gat call yo click
Squeeze yo click hit the right one
pass the weed i got to light one
all them niggas I got to fight one
all them hoes I like to like one
our situation is a tight one
what you gon do fight or run
Man……..I loved biggie one of my favorite biggie song i will never forget
Back up chump, you know Biggie Smalls grips it quick
And kicks it quick, you know how black niggas get
With the hoods fatigues with the boots with trees
Smokin weed, flippin ki’s, makin crazy G’s
Hittin’ buckshots at niggas that open spots
On the avenue, take my loot, and I’m baggin you
Pimpin hoes that drive Volvo’s and Rodeos
Flash the Roll, make her wet, in her pantyhose
Damn, a nigga style is unorthodox
Grip the glock, when I walk down the crowded blocks
Just in case a nigga wanna act out
I just black out, and blow they motherfuckin back out
That’s a real nigga for ya
-realest niggas big & 50 I was on dat shit yesterday! That’s still my shit….RIP BIG!
Girl you look fine, like a windface Rolex, you just shine
I like that waistline
Let me hit that from behind, which wall you wanna climb
My styles genuine, girl I love you long time
Get at me I loves me some biggie
When I met you I admit my first thoughts was to trick
You look so good huh, I suck on your daddy’s dick
I never felt that way in my life
It didn’t take long before I made you my wife
Got no rings and shit, just my main squeeze
Come into the crib, even had a set a keys
During the days you helped me bag up my nickels
In the process, I admit, I tricked a little
But you was my bitch, the one who’d never snitch
Love me when I’m broke or when I’m filthy fuckin rich
And I admit, when the time is right, the wine is right
I treat you right, you talk slick, I beat you right
Just me & my Bitch…
Coogi used to be fly back in the mid-late 90’s. They went for $400. Now they’ve been reduced to FUBU status. Damn.
@Dareelest – thats my joint right and there and some of the sickest beats from “Ready to Die”
If I got to choose a coast I got to choose the East
I live out there, so don’t go there
But that don’t mean a nigga can’t rest in the West
See some nice breasts in the West
Smoke some nice sess in the West, y’all niggaz is a mess
Thinkin I’m gon stop, givin L.A. props
All I got is beef with those that violate me
I shall annihilate thee……
why my pic isn’t comming up?
Oh wait………
Aah there I go……….
Continuing to rap……..well trying
I been in this game for years, it made me a animal
It’s rules to this shit, I wrote me a manual
A step by step booklet for you to get
your game on track, not your wig pushed back
Rule nombre uno: never let no one know
how much, dough you hold, cause you know
The cheddar breed jealousy ’specially
if that man fucked up, get your ass stuck up
Number two: never let em know your next move
Don’t you know Bad Boys move in silence or violence
Take it from your highness (uh-huh)
I done squeezed mad clips at these cats for they bricks and chips
Number three: never trust no-bo-dy
Your moms’ll set that ass up, properly gassed up
Hoodie to mask up, shit, for that fast buck
she be layin in the bushes to light that ass up….
I never liked Coogi. I always thought it was so ugly.
fugly
-i always thought those sweaters were ugly.
-i love biggie, but the reason i wanna see the movie is bcuz i love angela bassett even more.
-hey, bossip, try “threw” in this context, thanks.
What about when he said….”Heart-throb, never; black and ugly as ever, however, I say COOGI DOWN TO THE SOCKS”
those dresses are on point…=]
Biggie schooled Cosfool in those Coogi’s, y’all. This movie is bringing it all back. Getting the old gang 2gether this Sat night to see this fine ass show. Gonna be tight.
Oh man those sweaters bug me. But they take me back to. Cannot wait to see this bad boy. Going with my boys Sunday.
biggie was the best rapper EVER!!! all y’all who love the B.I.G., you gotta see NOTORIOUS! it drops today and my whole crew is hitting up the theater. check it
Where the hell have you guys been. Coogi has been on hit on the East coast for the last couple of years. It’s in ALL the storefronts uptown, Brooklyn and the Bronx..and the young kids have been going HARD at it for a minute now. It has definitely been revitalized from the 90’s and they are selling more then Sean John and Rockawear…so when you say Coogi is played in the streets….then you really don’t know what you’re talking about.
i loved coogi back in the day! NOTORIOUS THE MOVIE was so ill, it brought back all the good memories…go see it with your whole crew
haha coogi…blast from the past! notorious the movie is the shit, i loved every second. see it and NO BOOTLEGS…that money is for bigs kids
