In clothes, the rapper style was created by young people who are fond of rhythmic music. It is known that rapper subculture as a social phenomenon has become very widespread, and wide pants, rapper caps, rapper t-shirts and jackets have become a kind of symbol that reflects the real "spirit of the streets." It is noteworthy that the items of clothing preferred by rappers - the same wide pants, athletic shoes, rapper caps began to be worn even by those who quite distantly understand the other values associated with rap as a subculture.
Rap is, as you know, a rhythmic recitative read to music accompanied by a heavy beat. The rapper movement is a separate part of a diverse and multi-layered hip-hop culture, which includes such sections as graffiti, streetball, break dance, as well as extreme sports. Rappers in the minds of many are firmly entrenched as “guys in wide pants,” and this is the most striking characteristic of rapper clothes. Not only pants became wide for rappers - almost every element of clothing looks very voluminous, its sizes are much larger than necessary. An exception can be considered unless rapper caps - here oversizing would be inappropriate.
Now about the clothes of rappers a little more
Wide pants
The most popular among rappers are jeans-pipes, as well as wide sweatpants equipped with stripes on the sides. Due to the fact that this branch of fashion originated in the poorest regions of America, it inherited the corresponding traits. Large and low-income Negro families were forced to save on everything, so the children had to wear clothes for older brothers and sisters. In addition, buying clothes that are considered universal based on the principle of “one for all” allowed to save even more.
T-shirts and jackets
According to rappers, a great addition to the wide trousers are hoodie jackets worn over spacious T-shirts. Hoodie jackets impress with their immense sleeves, which are assembled with elastic at the cuffs, and the jackets also have hoods. There are often several t-shirts, and they dress in accordance with the length of the sleeves - first with a long one, then with a short one.
Maybe all this looks ridiculous, but do not forget that clothing for representatives of the rapper subculture is primarily a factor that distinguishes a person from the crowd. Huge T-shirts, several sizes larger than T-shirts, hoodies, although they sit on the figure are ridiculous and ridiculous, but they will definitely draw the attention of others to their owners.
Shoes & Accessories
The head of rappers is most often decorated with rapper caps. These caps with direct visors are also worn unusually - the visor is turned back or to one side. Many people wonder how to wear a rapper cap correctly? There is no definite answer to this question - you can wear this hat, as the owner likes it. By the way, there are women's rapper caps, which can be a great addition not only to the rapper outfit, but also emphasize a different style.
Rapper's shoes are most often represented by sneakers and sneakers. Representatives of the subculture are especially delighted with white sports shoes. At the same time, the laces on the shoes can have any color and shade, even the most unexpected.
A compulsory addition to rapper clothes are various accessories. These are most often chains with massive medallions, metal earrings in the ears and a large number of badges. For some rappers on their chests, it’s hard not to notice a huge medallion - a chip - an attribute borrowed from Eastern philosophy.
