Today, among teenagers, the topic of fashionable gear is relevant. Probably, we all remember the times when there were rumors of hippies and anarchists fighting for freedom, bright dudes and pacifists condemning the war. Representatives of these movements had a peculiar style that emphasizes individuality - fashionistas could be identified by their appearance and clothing. Today, the trend is the so-called office workers or casuals.
Representatives of these movements express themselves with stylish clothes. They call her hype or fashionable gear. What is such clothes, we will try to reveal in this article.
Fight for fashion gear
Young people who identify with these movements are gathering for arrows. So they call battles for a fashionable gear. At such meetings, the guys explain why they wear this or that clothes and shoes. In the slang of young people, this process is called “explain by gear”.
The audience tells why they have the right to wear what they wear. If someone can not cope with such a task, then they can beat him.
Brands for Preferred, 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 clothing, style, the 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 clothing of those brands that members of their group prefer. If such guys meet someone on the street, for example, in a Stone Island jacket , they may ask for an “explanation for a fashionable gear”.
There is a list of hype brands that are being bought 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 - everywhere 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, this is not individuality. In a word - the mainstream.
Where to get hype clothes
Rumor has it that in Russia it is difficult to find a fashionable gear. Wealthy fans of hype are purchased in foreign stores online. Rare rare specimens are sold at times more expensive to their compatriots, making good money on this. Teenagers who cannot afford such brands are trying to save up to buy hype clothes. They are ready to undernourish and undermine their health in order to collect the necessary amount in order to surprise others with possession of, for example, Stone Island jackets, which those who are “in the know” call “stonik”.
Famous fashion houses noticed the current situation. They began to collaborate with street clothing brands. A vivid example is the union of Louis Vuitton and the American brand of street clothing Supreme.
Why is youth so preoccupied with brands
For teenagers, what they are wearing is of great importance. Many of them are aggressive towards those who wear the same things. They may be asked to clarify for the gear, in particular, the guys who find fault with their appearance.
The way a teenager is dressed says a lot: about his character, mood, wealth. At least that's what the young guys themselves think. Many try to show their individuality or belonging to a particular class through appearance. If a teenager considers himself a dangerous football player, he will wear a Fred Perry or Tommy T-shirt and NB sneakers. So, wearing a fashionable gear, the guys emphasize their individuality. Clothing for young people has become a way to stand out among people around you, however, such negative aspects as fights, nitpicking with others for clothes and shoes, considerable money spending in pursuit of trends are unlikely to exalt spiritually.
