From Insanely Baggy Pants To Skinny Jeans: The Evolution Of Hip Hop Fashion
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- Since it's inception way back in the 80s, Hip Hop has shared a symbiotic relationship with the fashion world. What started as a way to showcasing local trends and fashion staples has bloomed into a powerhouse influence of haberdashery over the years.
Originally fashion in hip hop was merely a way to show fans that you had money and you were dope boy fresh, or to turn the world on to the your local sneaker of choice. But as rap grew in popularity, more and more civilians began to take notice of the stlyings of their fav rapper.

Early 00's fashion was dope. I was wearin oversized clothes till 2013 or 2014. I do still have these clothes hidden in my wardrobe and I'm wearin it in da house from time to time.
Agree about early 2000s. The music was sweet nice, swag, melody!!! Just beautiful in general all round
I think the best era when it comes to fashion in hiphop was the second half of the 90’s.
@@melgarezuniverse1217 facts baggy clothes are always the best
Baggy Going Crazy again
yo sell me some 🙏😭
Baggy suits hip hop image more... skinny suits rocker and metal band
David Beckham 100 percent agree
the current aesthetic in Hip Hop is very Punk Rock, and Metalish, just look at 6ix9ine, he's not far off from the metal aesthetic.
@@xDTHx I agree, especially with dudes like xxxtentacion and Lil Uzi
but before baggy hip hop, there was skinny jeans hip hop in early 80s.
Agreed
even till this generation i still rock the 90s baggy style with the timbs, im probably the only one that rocks it in my highschool
Do you get clowned for that
What's ur pants size
You prob BizKitt the biggest blogger in da world 🌎 💀

Nice vid. Missing the "Karl Kani" tho. Pac and Biggie wore that and so did most of us @ school in the 90's
The 90's were def the best
Rocawear, Enyce, Avirex, Akademiks, Phat Farm, Fubu days 🙏
Shady Ltd, Enyce, Phat Farm and Fubu I wanna BACK!
@@eminemsbasement don't for forget them Fat Albert & g unit clothes
Karl kani
Do You Mean Platinum FUBU
who remembers those cool denim outfits that consisted of a denim jacket and matching pants. always thought those were cool. especially when denzel wore one in training day
Eli The Lonewolf man I had a phat farm one that I thought was fly as shit as a kid
Dipset brought the fitted look back lil Wayne learned from being on tour with them .......from NYC I was in HS when all this was playing out
Dame Dolla you're correct!
A lot of people think 2000’s just baggy jeans and long white tees niggas was wearing true religions & medium baggy with designer belts like Gucci look like Jim Jones For A Example.
No mention of Reebok and G Unit? That was a huge Hip Hop fashion wave. Baby Phat? Phat Farm? This we’re everywhere.
The south was where the reeboks were heavy at
No lie about trends coming and going so quick these days. That’s why I usually wear basic target/old navy graphic tees now lol spend all that money on brands for them to be out of style quick! Feel bad for anybody from the late 2000s that tatted that big F from the FAMOUS clothing brand lol used to see those everywhere!
Lol the big F I remember that shit fasho
You’ll Never see me in tights. Rockin a green camo army jacket with fresh Timbs, a 4x white tee, a black beanie and big baggy jeans right now. Baggy style all Day!
facts carharts are baggy as well and I still rock baggy dickies as well
This is pretty damn accurate, nicely done. as far as I can tell cuz from 85 on onward I was a witness, participated for awhile until I had a daughter now I’m back to being more of a witness of the scene again.
street wear use to just be called urban fashion. There was a lot of underground brands in the mid 90s and early 2ks
80s Hip Hop fashion is very underrated 💯
Ya Boy Aang no it’s too emphasized. I don’t understand the hype.. they adopted European fashion clothing and then claim it as theirs 🤷🏼♂️🤦🏻♂️
Schlomo ShekelBergTransgenderstein So? They made it look good.
Ya Boy Aang made it look good? It was already considered very fashionable. I don’t understand. The fashion brands from Europe and America were already in high demand From Gucci products from switzerland, Italy’s prada, Versace, Armani, Gucci, Germany’s Adidas, puma, Hugo Boss, Swiss luxury Watch brands especially Rolex, Americas Nike, North face, Calvin Klein, Tommy hilfiger Jeans and jean jackets coming from German immigrant Levi Strauss, leather jackets by Irving Schott, sneakers being introduced by Adi Dassler then forming Adidas, baseball caps, snapbacks, fedoras from England, flat caps from England, sweatshirts, hoodies, beanies, jackets, sweatpants baggy pants were worn amongst Prisoners due to no available belts, worn also by skateboarders and snowboarders, these things were already in popular demand. Black Americans have contributed to fashion but I think there’s way too much significance placed on it. Things like Grills, Durags, hairstyles (specifically black hair)
Just found this video doing some research on a video I'm working on and damn bro, this is so good and comprehensive. You snapped g.
Thx fam ✊🏽
Imma subscribe you deserve it this is a well made video very in depth can't wait till you get higher quality equipment your videos will be top of the line bless up vro
I think Kayne West started the fitted clothes trend because he was beefing with 50 cent in the mainstream, it was Gangster rap vs Alternative rap. Also social media growing in the late 2000's with the smartphone along with the end of the music album in stores influenced the style changes. Also the Allen Iverson controversy that introduced the NBA dress code influenced the change of style because fashion was more diverse.
I'm talking about fitted clothes in the mainstream hip hop. In terms of pop hip hop, that been around ever since the 80's.Soulja Boy didn't really start anything except emerging from the beginning of social media
Well then credit the dmv for that bc thats where he said he learned to style.
baggy pants all day
F skinny and fitted 👖 haha looking like females
Big horse Ralph Laurens, Lot29,Avirex jackets,AF1 and Akademics
Akademiks kicks ass
@@jonathangonzales4115 Absolutely, and in 2021 I still rock my Akademiks sweater. I need more of their pieces.
Good video man! I was looking for a loose ( not baggy ) jeans for three years (!!) and i had to realise it is really hard to find it!
All my old favourite brands just does not make loose pants anymore! What a shame! When i was living in London ( till 2012 ) i used to go to Carhartt outlet in Hackney to buy super cheap loose pants. In this time i bought about 15 pairs minimum :) So this 15 pair ( and all the others :) ) was last long for about 5-6 years. Thank god my weight have not changed much till i turned 35.
But after that i wanted to buy again some new loose fit jeans and i just could not find any of them! I had to wait 3 years to find a store with old stock Levi's and Dickies pants ( in this time i didn't care about brand names i was happy to find some ). I was wearing " all in my life " ( since i was 14 in early-mid '90s ) baggy jeans till about 2008 but than ( because of my age :) ) i have changed to loose style. Now i am almost 40 yrs old and i think i will never have skinny pants on me for sure. I leave that for the young " fashion gays "...
And if you say we are old yes we are ( only our body! ) but don't forget something : we are pioneers, we are from the era when everything was new and original! Our generation ( born circa 1970 - 1985 ) made everything ( in music, art, sport ) what the new generation copying today! We made our own fashion / style and not the designers told us what we must wear next year. When the " modern " streetwear / extreme sport " fashion " has really started in the '90s the style have not changed for about 10-15 years!
I think this is what we can call ORIGINAL in todays consumer ( gay ) society ;) Respect for the few new ones who's trying to keep the old roots with some good new flavour and who is trying to push the boundaries ( in sport and art) but staying true to the origins! Big up!
All those du rags Memphis Bleek used to wear, fast forward to find out he’s actually bald lol my childhood is a lie!
Rappers today wearing the same clothes as my nieces do, it's a shame.. Even the music nowadays reflects the feminine side of rappers. I prefer the 90s rough rugged and raw look!
wearing clothes that fit don't make you feminine just FYI.
Daniel H ok it doesn’t make you feminine, it makes you LOOK like feminine for sure!
wearing clothes that fit makes you look proper not feminine. if anything sagging your baggy jeans are more feminine then wearing skinny jeans (jeans that actually fit) since in prison guys would sag their pants to tell other guys that they are DTF.
Daniel H hiphop had always been against the grain, but nowadays they look like girls or just like my (proper) next door neighbours.. (It just reflects the soft / poppy sound of nowschool hiphop). Same thing happened to the Punk-Rock culture. The point I’m making is that the 90s hiphop culture reflects the rawness in every aspect, the sound, the rougness, the flow and most def their clothes.
It’s ok to sack your pants as long as you cover it with long shirts, not like sacking skinny jeans with short shirts above it, that doesn’t make any sense.
@@xDTHx nigga dont act like these niggas dont sag their skinny .
G Unit
My personal favorite brand ever bruh
that lean cup in the dudes hands in the 2000’s portion should definitely have stayed it’s still all you see lol
90s hip hop fashion 🔥🔥
I had gold a 14K gold cap back in 94/95. I had one with a diamond the other had my first initial carved in it. Grills didn't pop up until later. Brooklyn all day! Biggie era. LOL ...
Man, your channel is so underrated. Hope you get the recognition you deserve, seriously
Dang Baggy Pants makes me want to play Def Jam Fight For NYC.
Were called old heads lmao god damn it feels like the 90s and 2000s were just yesterday. Wish i could do it all again even the duckin and dodging from cops n bullets part.
okay, white boy..which rap song did u hear that in?
@@Snowboy2015 why u making it a race thing if he called u black u would’ve of have a fit and u like mumble rappers
Baggy clothes are manly to me

MY TASTE REMAINS FOR THE 2000S
You're not cool
King Amen-Tut-Ankh Nah we don’t have oldhead views
Have anybody ever noticed every rapper in the 2000s all had long ass silver chains
They were not silver martin Johnson. They were platinum chains, platinum jewels were in heavy in the late 90s early to mid-2000s
Yep. Thanks to mainly Cash Money Millionaires like Juvenile rapping about it, platinum started to be more popular than gold in about 1999 and by 2000 virtually every rapper or R&B singer had a long Platinum chain or 2, along with a platinum bracelet, platinum grill, diamond earrings, and a platinum and diamond watch. It was so popular in 1999-2000 that even NSYNC and the Backstreet Boys were wearing it.
lmao@ silver! that was only dumb asses like me who couldn't afford white gold
At 6:42 he says this is where a du-rag comes in and then shows a wave cap lol 😂
I love the crunk and snap era.
fashion in a nutshell is really defined as this.FASHION-where this because your favorite rapper,musician or celebrity is doing it and your peers are all doing it so you need to do it too you have no mind we control you if your wearing something that was once cool and not being cool or in the now you will get roasted quicker than the last pig on earth in the end times.
if I get roasted F them but tgey will get an A whooping talking reckless to me like that and tight oshts you can barely fight or move in them they be tge ones crying and complaining when they run out if style
This was very very good.
Timbetland Field Boot

I sold so many in my stores back then,I still remember the style # lol
Yeah depending on what part of the country you’re in, I bet tons of people made bank off Tim’s 😂
Thumbs up if u grew up wearing clothing brand like Ecko, Akademiks jeans, sean john, phat farm, southpole, Rocawear, Ed hardy, Fubu, karl kani etc
Im still clockin Karl kani & Wu wear...I use to have a pair of graffitti'd overalls like Bell Biv Devoe...Ive always worn snapbacks & got a shit load of Jordan's,suede pumas & adidas because of my teen years...I'm so old fashion but my kids know that I'm still living in the past with clothing & shoes...glad I was around in that era
Word up
Im 18 I feel ya, fuck this tight shot
Tighht SHIT
Music now sucks
@@onyxtytanium964 Exactly
Really nice video. I learned a lot today.
Baggy jeans, army jacket, hoodie thats that 90s NY east coast outfit.
I've always been facinated by this.
Skinny jeans doesnt suit black people and hip hop...baggy looks dope on black people
newbieshelper shittttt I wearing a black pair right now
Baggy jeans make you look like a fool nowadays bro, ain’t nobody wear that no more. It just isn’t fashionable
@Apostle9590 thing about it, if it look good on you no matter what u wear it'll never go out of style. Look at the way Migos dress for example. They wear skinnis with fitted dress shirts at their concerts and they dripping. It's all about how u drip in your clothes TBH
Just were whatever you want were not in high school it's how you carry yourself I'm 34 and I'm not going to look like these fools out now wearing skirts and looking ridiculous with 🌈 colors that's thr problem with the black community just be yourself F.. what people say they ain't paying to bills
PHILLY TRENCHES: BACK IN 1984, ME, MY TWIN BROTHER, SHAWNY MAC & HIS OLDER BROTHER DOC, FROM 11TH NORRIS STREET HOUSING PROJECTS, WE WERE THE FIRST TO WEAR TIMBERLAND BOOTS WHEN WE USE TO SHOPLIFT AKA BOOSTING FROM OUT DEPARTMENT STORES...ONLY THE HUNTING/OUTDOORS STORE SOLD THOSE BOOTS, HOWEVER, THE DEPARTMENT STORE CALLED MARSHALLS, SOLD THE TIMBERLAND MOCCASINS THAT WERE THE BOATING DOCK TIMBERLAND SHOE/BOOT.. IN THE SUMMER OF 1985, MY TWIN BROTHER MIKEY WORE THE TIMBERLAND MOCCASINS WITH ADIDAS RED SWEATSUIT WITH DARK BLUE STRIPES THAT LOOKED LIKE BLACK STRIPES, PEOPLE LAUGHED AT HIM WEARING THESE TIMBERLANDS IN THE SUMMER TIME, NOW PEOPLE WEARV THEM ALL YEAR ROUND. MY TWIN BROTHER MIKEY(RIP) USE TO SAY, "DON'T WEAR THE BOOT THAT SLIP AND SLIDE, WEAR THE BOOT WITH THE TREE ON THE SIDE" HE DEFINITELY WAS A TREND SETTER, BORN LEADER, WHAT MADE HIM CHOOSE TO STEAL TIMBERLANDS THEN TO WEAR THEM IN THE SUMMER WITH ADIDAS SWEATSUIT, WAS A STROKE OF GENIUS...
New York did not start the trend of wearing grills. Florida been on permanent grills since the 80's before it was even popular. Gold Grills are part of street culture in the south, and not just Florida.
Baggy clothes are comfortable but i like clothes that actually fit not too big not to small just right they look better
Man the thow backs were in before 2k, we were sportin the throw backs in the 90s when the bulls were taking over the championships with a white t underneath it.
Kanye west also started the dad sneaker, denim on denim, nuetrul color fits, jogger long tshirt combo, jacket over hoodie look with long t.
Very good video
Track Suits to Track Jackets/Jeans to Track Pants/Denim Jackets.
you missed Track Apparel
Velour Suits NBA Hardwood Classic Majestic Fit Also
No mention of Jordans or chains or braids or Vans or chucks or bandanas or liquor missed a lot..
Exactly
Great video man
May I add to your fine documentation that in terms of fashion influence, it was artists like N.W.A., ICE CUBE and COMPTON'S MOST WANTED who popularized DICKIES WORKWEAR and CONVERSE CHUCK TAYLOR'S.
So many holes in this history lesson. What about the West Coast look of suits and hats (snoop dogg) that were popular in the mid to late nineties.
Gary Harris didn’t want to edit a 30 min video lol. But yea we did leave out some stuff, the list was a quick run down but thx for reminding us
The G Funk era was something else. West Coast fashion is a subject in itself.
Well fitted clothes are the best, baggy makes you look sloppy and tight looks gimpy but well fitted looks just right.
Hip hop has more education than books in school
I Loce baggy Jeans but I don’t like when Ppl ask if I’m a skater but I don’t dress like one it’s like they forgot or haven’t even heard of 90’s Baggy Jeans
Brooklyn started tall tees not the south
Cross colors and such you missed as well. Oh and Karl Kani
The Hilfiger rumor was exactly that… he never said it.
Good history man!
You should interview crips n bloods in LA....i got cousins that gang bang but got the freshest clothing wardrobe in blue and red haha
Old school hip hop fashion Is the best not a fan of dressing like a fruitcake
real talk but the other 🐑 🐏 love it though same with thst ugly beard looking look
Kanye west actually started the fitted clothes trend. N 2007. Cause he said he got tired of rocking baggy clothes. Baggy clothes came from new York n the early 90s right after the new jack swing era or dureing the last year of new jack swing.
Wasn't nobody rocking full grills until the south made it popular. Stop hating on us mane
We used to airbrush our jeans!
I’ll still be rockn TIMBS and a COOGI sweater when I’m 6ft under
12:11 Put on subtitles lmao
Forgot nelly and them air force 1s & Dipset chain gang (chain on 👖).. from what I remember it was Jim Jones that started the whole tight wave. He used to stay on that(Ed Hardy) (Skull Gang)and when his song "ballin" dropped alot of people started to jump ship wit the long teez/jerseys. Wyane started that whole blur line wave with the skate stuff.. butThem Dipset niggas been trendsetters . Big Facts
Why did u have to put a mumble rap song in the background lol
I love/ hate the styles of today. Love it for now you can create and be yourself and original, but hate because the hype beast has killed street wear and over saturated certain brands. I’m 32 and in high school I was definitely wore the baggy jeans and the tall t shirts I had no business in wearing. I look at back at my old high school style like that shit is ridiculous I look stupid as hell, but appreciate and still wear the classic white Air Force ones and the classic timbs
You missed the polo crew and Fab five freddy and blonde were in the first hip hop video. Other than that great video.
Do one for sports. Westbrook, Cam Newton, Lebron ect
You didn't mention Jordan at all, but it's probably best because Jordans known for slapping a lawsuit on whoever says his name on a project without his endorsements to do so. Jordan patent his very own name so that it could not be duplicated
Lol dope vid!
Bring back baggy clothes
Hell naw
real talk and people saying no baggy clothes they must love wearing girl clothes hahaha yall just sheep cuz yall favorite rappers wear em if everyone starts wearing skirts sand leggings which is going on now everyone and they mommas would be wearing em
Man this made me sad
Forgot to mention the Starched and iron creased jeans synonymous with Texas back in the early to late 90s into the 2000s
You can tell the era you see the old heads wearing baggy mess and the kids wearing skinny Jean junk lol
LOL what do you wear then
These so called Mumble Rappers n their wack unoriginal genre called Trap destroyed hip hop n it's fashion they change how hip hop was seen n change what hip-hop represent hip hop no longer represent struggle, hardship,ghetto,hood,motivation,ganglife etc..It now represent richess,money,hoes,jewellery,money,intoxicated stuff...Dey really destroy Hip hop n their so called style "Trap" ain't even real Trap muzik dey just called it Trap by themselves without any official recognition nnnnn da real Trap Muzik is a genre about life in da Trap( place of drugs dealing n ganglife) n the real Trap Muzik rappers talk about life in da Trap the hardship of living in da hood the violence n about making money by selling dope)...The real Trap Muzik rappers are Gucci Mane,Jeezy n TiP etc these self calling Trapstar like migos,future,Lil Uzi vert etc never even live in da Trap n sell dope they didn't experience da hardship of hood life n dangers of the street life they came from medium class family background n went to school like others kids n later just enter the Rapgame they didn't struggle much for their success n didn't start from the bottom dey start from the middle...
And dont forget to mention the entire southern rap movement, which started whit Dj Spanish Fly in the late 80s, there is where trap came from, dont forget the roooooots!!
@@antonfourcade8718 before you speak on our music, stop listening to the mainstream, nothing changed in hop hop but the clothes and the sound. We still rap about struggles and shit but we just add more harmonies and melodies to it
Read my other comment
@@izaya444 it wasn't the point fam
All I'm sayin is I like 70s 80s 90s 2000 to 2010 all of that was fresh now we have skinny Jean's and small t shirts
I glad people are starting to stop wearing skinny jeans now its not to baggy and not to tight
The west coast made the skinny jeans pop off lil Wayne was still rockin baggy jeans when fireman came out while the west coast was jerking and doing the reject in skinny jeans
Should say from insanely baggy to leggings
*80's & 90's guys wore CROP TOPS LMAO not play like they didn't. You see movies and TV shows all men was wearing them *
