One of the successful descendants of hip hop was the emergence of urban wear or clothing. For the past years, personal style and clothes speak about the person wearing it. It has become more than clothes but more of an attitude and culture. T’was the ‘80s It was ‘80s when the world witnessed hip hop and its fashion. The early half of the decade was ruled with tracksuits, bomber jackets, sneakers with oversized shoelaces, large eyeglasses, name belts and multiple rings for accessories. Jewelries for men are usually in heavy gold chains while it is large gold earrings for women. In the late ‘80s, MC Hammer style was one of the biggest fashion influences during this time. Remember his blousy pants? Most of the clothes and accessories during this time are largely influenced by the African culture. Different hip hop artists were wearing and promoting such designs. ‘90s: Entering the New Decade It was more of a continuation the ‘80s fashion. But new fashion trends still emerged during this period like bright colored baseball caps, oversized shirts for women, pants, starter jackets, and sneakers. Eventually, brands and designers were already showing their hip hop designs. High fashion was not excluded from the urban influence. Isaac Mizrahi, a known high fashion designer and now creative director for Liz Claiborne, was among those who showed hip hop and urban influence in their fashion lines. This just showed that urban clothing could cross cultural and socio-economic barriers. Soon enough, another change in urban fashion happened. Many were wearing silk shirts, double breasted suits and alligator skin shoes as an influence of classic gangster movies. Clothing brands like Tommy Hilfiger who were selling sportswear also became popular. Other brands became associated with great urban and hip hop clothing like FUBU, Reebok, Adidas, Ecko, Rocawear and a lot more. Before men and women were sharing their passion for loose and baggy clothes. During the ‘90s, women urban fashion was becoming more feminine and body hugging. Urban clothing brands were now focusing on women and how to accentuate their femininity with hip hop touch. The New Millennium Nowadays, urban clothing has fully crossed barriers. It has become popular not only in the United States but also in different countries. Rappers and hip hop artists are not the only people who are wearing urban clothing.
