Streetwear is one of the most prominent clothing styles of today. Unlike luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, streetwear thrives in being accessible. Streetwear is a culture of affordable clothing by independent designers. Streetwear clothing has a high resell price because of the limited supply with high demand. Brands such as Supreme, Stussy, Undefeated, The Hundreds, and Bape make streetwear clothing.
Streetwear is interesting because it’s a blend of everything. It’s casual clothing, that’s fashionable in the streets. Sportswear and luxury brands have adopted streetwear styles into their pieces. It’s came a long way from the 90’s, when the culture was born. Skaters in New York, and New York Hip Hop were the most influential on early streetwear culture. Graphic tee’s, baggy jeans, tracksuits, bomber jackets, and oversized jerseys all were staples at the beginning of streetwear culture.
Streetwear isn’t a trend, it’s a movement. It’s as clear as day, streetwear is everywhere now. There’s even streetwear competition shows such as The Hype on HBO Max. It’s a space for creative people to thrive and share their ideas with the world. Anybody can get started with a streetwear brand of their own. The sauce is always on the internet (on YouTube).
