HIP-HOP FASHION STYLE

Hip-Hop was born in New York City in late 1970s and the related fashion reflected streetwear that kids in the Bronx already had in their possession, like bomber jackets, tracksuits, and sneakers with oversized shoe laces. Hip hop’s trademark “street” look was created by Run-DMC, who famously adopted side striped tracksuits and lace-less shell-toed sneakers as their signature uniform.
Hip-hop style is based in an attitude that rails against limitations and boundaries. This fashion style has been evolved in unique ways over time. A new era of hip-hop & high fashion was ushered in as hip-hop artists gained popularity in the 21st century. Women's hip-hop wear accompanied with items such as bamboo earrings, designer handbags, name chains, midriff tops, bra tops, short skirts, tight jeans, high boots, straight hair weaves and braids, tattoos and false fingernails and oversized gold jewelry.
