Hip-Hop Style
Teenagers who listen to the same music often
have a common look. One hot style in music and fashion is hip-hop. Simply put,
hip-hop is a type of urban music with a heavy beat. Typical hip-hop fashions
are loose-fitting street clothes. The style includes baggy pants, sweatshirts,
hiking boots, baseball caps (usually worn backward), jackets with sport logos
and expensive athletic shoes. In the hip-hop style, boys and girls often dress
the same way.
African-American kids in Detroit and Chicago first
made hip-hop fashion trendy more than 20 years ago. They wore baggy street
clothes to dance clubs. Then North American and European bands also began
wearing this style. Thanks to the popularity of music videos and movies,
hip-hop soon became an international fashion sensation.
Teens around the world, from Britain to South
Africa to Japan, now wear hip-hop clothing. Seventeen years old Melanie Borrow,
of Manchester, England, says:”My pride and joy in life are my Levi’s jeans.” In
the United States, teens spend a lot of money on hip-hop fashions. David Bowen,
17, of Evanston, Illinois, has five pairs of hiking boots, each costing around
U$ 100. David says: “They’re popular because a lot of hip-hop performers wear
them.”
