The Philosophy And History Behind Streetwear Clothing

Subject Description

Streetwear is a loose term to explain a fashion movement that arose from the bottom-up, instead of a bottom-down fashion where corporation specifically, research and buy line of clothes. Weary from the marketing more than clothing giants such as Gap, Abercrombie and Fitch, and Old Navy; a youth culture bore a new do-it-yourself fashion that incorporated the cap, the t-shirt and vintage style sneakers right into a new make of clothing. This 'new brand' shouldn't be mistaken for that hip-hop culture fashion, because although they exploit baggy clothing and caps, they generally avoid displays of grandeur, jewelry and the behavior that accompany it. A more similar comparison would benefit when you compare street wear clothing to skater-wear, where brands like Vans, Dickies and Emerica dominate the scene.

New Era

Popular items which have arisen from the street wear clothing style are printed t-shirts which contain abstract or very expressionistic images on any kind from the t-shirt. They are usually asymmetric, making a sharp contrast to the more tamed t-shirts that are mass produced by clothing giants for example Tommy Hilfiger. Another addition to popular t-shirt designed contributed by the street-wear culture are clever reinterpretations and mash from old and iconic figures. Popular characters include Rocky, from Rocky and Bullwinkle, Marylyn Monroe and also the boom box. Text and phrases also dominate the scene. Phrases are often mashed up with images or other designs. The greater witty and coy the comment, the more popular and lasting the t-shirt becomes.

The colour palette for street wear culture varies, but the probably the most colors to combine are black, purple, red and brown. Bold colors are preferable to calm and subtle colors. It may interpreted that it's through colors and color combination that street wear clothing demand attention and make their mark in fashion territory.

Streetwear

The sneaker and snug cap are trademark street wear accessories for the street wear culture. Among the most popular sneakers are Nike, Adidas, and Vans. The more eccentric the colour combination on these footwear, the greater they're preferred. Popular colors include neon green, bright red, yellow, orange and sky blue. These colors are used interchangeably using the basic black and white. Street wear caps are borrowed from skater caps and they are composed of faint colors like beige, tan grey.
