A Brief Discussion on Fashion

The picture above is a picture of me wearing a Bethune-Cookman Deadstock Snapback. This picture is from 3 years ago. I bought that hat about 4 years ago. Yep 4 years ago. When most of you were trying to get your fitted game up, I was getting my snapback game up. Snapbacks as you know are everywhere now. Every store is also starting to sell snapbacks to cash in on the fad. Most of my snapbacks are deadstock. Deadstock means that the hats are vintage and aren't currently being made. Its funny to me that deadstock snapbacks were alot easier to find when I started wearing them than they are now. This brings me to an important fact about fashion: fashion is not about spending alot of money. I have alot of snapbacks and all of them cost under $22. All the deadstock ones cost under $15. Being a stylish person is never about how much the clothes cost, its about SWAG. Style is about individuality. Alot of the styles which are called hipster or mainstream now have been part of my clothing for a while. The slim jeans, slim tees, Vans, and Chucks have been in my wardrobe since 8th-9th grade. I was inspired to wear this because the music I listened to at that time Alternative rock. Also I hung out with a lot of people that would later be defined as hipsters. So almost 10 years ago I was a hipster at a time in which a lot of black kids were wearing baggy jeans, forces, and all that other stuff. I dressed that way because that's what I liked. I've never been someone to dress like everyone else because I learned I wasn't like anyone else I had ever met. Although I was ostracized by the black community at that time I learned to not give a f***. That is what swag is all about. So for the rest of my life my jeans will always be my actual size, I will wear rock/rap t-shirts, I will rock Snapbacks, along with my Vans, Chucks, and Jordans. Peace
