I mostly wear local stuff and Coogi... you'll never catch me in Ed Hardy though. lol
i dont beleive the bay area peeps still rock lrg and roca wear, from the music videos i have seen it look like they got it right and left those a long time ago like us.
We got lots of Detroit people in Houston and they pretty much fit right in with the city as far as style and fashion. Also; you should be more specific about the south because maybe in Miami and Atlanta; they emulate NYC, but places like Houston and Dallas are more influenced by the west coast.
Females here wear alot of Levi, Bebe, Forever 21, Besty Johnson, Guess/G etc clothing and local boutique clothing like C'est La Vie, Pretty Pieces/Baby Doll Boutique instead of a lot of urban wear.
If we were going to state what "burbs" are the most fashionable, I'd have to give it to NJ. Not to sound bias, because fashion isn't all that important to me, but as the "mall state" and with NYC being big influence in the North Eastern portion of the state, whatever came out of NYC went through NJ first- It was very fashionable where I grew up (which wasn't in Newark).
Southern/Central/NW Jersey on the other hand, nothing special fashion wise.
polo been a staple in ny for the longest tho. i don't think i would have brought that up.
selvage denim isn't a recent trend.
the dmv did run foams into the ground, tho. but we've always been on multiple ish here in ny and not one particular thing, when it comes to sneakers...i guess for awhile you could call uptowns the sneakers we ran into the ground.
but with house of hoops, niketown, and various mom and pop shops and of course your typical sneaker stores here, there's too much exclusive ish to pass up on.
recent or not I remember when heads in NY was on the Tru's hard, and at the same time heads out in San Fran for instance wouldnt touch Tru's with a 20 foot pole, they were strictly on selvage brands...even back then..my point was to highlight that NY doesn't start all the trends patna....
And NY is running Penny Foams into the ground now, when DMV cats have been running Foams into the ground since Mike Bibby wore them in the Final Four way the hell back in like '98
And dude Polo has been a staple everywhere for the longest, I remember getting a pair of Polo Ranger boots for Christmas back in like '95, and I went back to school and thought I was the best thing walking the halls since sliced bread. When Young Dro and TI first came out they were rapping about Polo all the way back in like 2001, 2002, so dont act like NY is the only place where Polo has been a staple.
"Body full of Polo clothes fresher than a b*tch now, A1 status make my girl get at your b*tch now" ---Young Dro 2004
"PA, Pimp C trill n*gga, Polo fu** that Hilfiger"- Pimp C from UGK 2001
And lastly everybody in NY aint going to HOH, NikeTown, to cop kicks homie. It's allot of yall gettin the fake joints too. I saw allot of Air Max 24-7's with the A and the X cut off on the tounge where Air Max is supposed to be and allot of Penny Foams and Half Cents with the white soles (instead of icey) and the white and black checkerboard carbon fiber on the bottom when the real ones all black and grey when I was up there last.....
i meant that polo been a staple in ny since the early 90's.
the only reason foams are even rocked now in abundance is because they recently rereleased. lets be honest, here.
but i'ma stop going back and forth. post fashion from your city like i did mine.
eek you should be showing what fashions the homies rock cause those fashions you are showing probbaly can be easily found in other regions.
take ninety flavors route and show what the homies rock.
