Hip hop fashion, also known as urban
fashion, is a distinctive style of dress originating from African American
youth on the scene of New York City, Los Angeles, Houston, Chicago,
Philadelphia, the San Francisco Bay Area, Detroit, Memphis, Virginia, Atlanta,
and St. Louis among others. Each city contributed various elements to its
overall style seen worldwide today. Hip hop fashion complements the expressions
and attitudes of hip hop culture in general. Hip hop fashion has changed
significantly during its history, and today, it is a prominent part of popular
fashion as a whole across the world and for all ethnicities.
Hip-hop shirt included large eyeglasses (Cazals),Kangol bucket hats, nameplates,
name belts, and multiple rings. Heavy gold jewelry was also popular in the
1980s; heavy jewelry in general would become an enduring element of hip hop
fashion. In general, men's jewelry focused on heavy gold chains and women's
jewelry on large gold earrings. Performers such as Kurtis Blow and Big Daddy
Kane helped popularize gold necklaces and other such jewelry, and female
rappers such as Roxanne Shanté and the group Salt-N-Pepa helped popularize
oversized gold door-knocker earrings. The heavy jewelry was suggestive of
prestige and wealth, and some have connected the style to Africanism.

with fur-trimmed hoods.”Women swear Daily called the look "homeboy chic.

shop fashion in several shows. In one, models wore
black leather jackets and piles of gold chains. In another, they wore long
black dresses, accessorized with heavy, padlocked silver chains. (These silver
chains were remarkably similar to the metal chain-link and padlock worn by

the brothers who are locked down. ") The hip hop trend, however, did not

of two parts: trousers and a jacket usually with front zipper. It was
originally intended for use in sports, mainly as what athletes wore over
competition clothing (such as running shirt and shorts or a swimsuit) and would
take off before competition. In modern times, it has become commonly worn in
other contexts. The tracksuit was one of the earliest uses of synthetic fibers
in sportswear.

which allows the user to wear them without any undergarment such as underwear.
