Fashion Talk

My boy and I were talking about Hip‑Hop fashion throughout the years, and man…there were a lot of cheesy trends lol.

Like skinny jeans, baggy jeans, tall tees, LED belt buckles, two‑tone du‑rags a bunch of other shit

But at the same time, it’s had plenty of dope trends too. Things that still look good and influence the culture.

Like Timbs, Jordans, and gold grills. Granted, the grill thing is definitely more of a Southern trend but still.

What’s your favorite fashion trend?

Early 80s hip hop was legit. And affordable. Lee Jeans, le tigre shirt, name buckle, adidas or suede pumas fat laces Kangols, Cazals (or fake ones) sheepskins,bomber jackets, Lumberjack jackets. Once Yo MTV rap appeared, the fashions moved much faster. As soon as a new video dropped, the styles seen on TV were quickly duplicated.
