Today, the topic of fashionable clothes is relevant among teenagers. Probably, we all remember the times when hippies and anarchists fighting for freedom, flamboyant dudes and pacifists condemning the war were heard. Representatives of these movements had a peculiar style that emphasized individuality - fashionistas could be identified by their appearance and clothing. Today, the so-called office wear or casual wear is in trend.
Representatives of these movements express themselves through stylish clothing. They call it hype or fashion gear. What is such clothes, we will try to reveal in this article.
Fighting for fashion gear
Young people who identify themselves with these currents are going to "arrows". So they call battles for fashionable gear. At such meetings, the guys explain why they wear certain clothes and shoes. In the slang of youth, this process is called “explaining the gear.”
The audience tells why they have the right to wear what they wear. If somebodyunable to cope with such a task, he may be beaten.
Brands for the privileged, or Just mainstream
The clothes of these young guys are called "hype gear". It is believed that she distinguishes a teenager from the general crowd. Young people are trying to emphasize their individuality with the help of clothes, style, use of slang. These guys wear jackets, sneakers, T-shirts and other things of certain brands. They make sure that ordinary guys and girls who are not related to their movement do not wear the clothes of the brands that members of their group prefer. If these guys meet someone on the street, for example, in a Stone Island jacket, they may ask for an “explain for fashion gear.”
There is a list of hype brands that are bought up by representatives of this movement. In particular, fashionistas wear clothes from Supreme, Palace, Anti Social Social Club, Vetements, Gosha Rubchinsky, Bape, Stone Island, Raf Simons, Y-3. You can list many more brands that are popular with teenagers "in the subject." Such clothes have become a real mainstream - wherever you look, there are only fashionistas around who consider themselves individuals. But it turns out that in fact they all wear the same thing. In general, you can't call it individuality. In a word, mainstream.
Where to get hype clothes
They say it's hard to find fashionable clothes in Russia. We althy hype fans are purchased online from foreign stores. Rare specimens obtained are resold many times more expensive to their compatriots, earning good money on this. Teenagers who are notcan afford such brands, trying to save up to buy hype clothes. They are willing to undernourish and undermine their he alth in order to raise the necessary amount to surprise others with the possession of, for example, a Stone Island jacket, which those in the know call a "stoner".
Eminent fashion houses noticed the current situation. They started collaborating with streetwear brands. A striking example is the union of Louis Vuitton and American streetwear brand Supreme.
Why are young people so obsessed with brands
For teenagers, what they wear matters a lot. Many of them are aggressive towards those who wear the same things. They may ask for clarification on the gear, especially the guys who find fault with their appearance.
The way a teenager is dressed says a lot: about his character, mood, we alth. At least that's what the young guys themselves think. Many try to show their individuality or belonging to a certain class through appearance. If a teenager considers himself a dangerous near-football player, then he will wear a Fred Perry or Tommy T-shirt and NB sneakers. So, wearing fashionable clothes, the guys emphasize their individuality. Clothes for young people have become a way to stand out among the people around them, however, such negative moments as fights, nagging others for clothes and shoes, spending a lot of money in pursuit of trends are hardly spiritually uplifting.
