Streetwear
Since the late 1970s and early 1980s, “Streetwear” has grown and taken a huge grasp in today’s fashion scene. Streetwear had a spread in a variety of ways, many say the young skaters from New York along with its hip-hop culture, or the Los Angeles surf-skate and graffiti culture were the influence on this trend. People look at those who wear streetwear brands to have “strong sense of community” or characterized by DIY aesthetics, basically anyone who wants to make a fashion statement, such as wearing casual clothes mixed with high and low-end clothes. Those who consider themselves to wear streetwear clothes often wear oversized garments, graphic tees/hoodies, sneakers, accessories, and a mix of branding these.
Plenty of respected brands such as Supreme, off-White, Bape, Palace, and Stüssy along with many more over the years have gained such a huge and strong following. Many can say its due to their unique style of designs when it comes to each of their garments, or it can be their limited edition drops that caught people’s attention.
