Was The Aeropostale/Hollister/Abercrombie Era The WOAT Fashion Era Among Blacks

[TELL ME YA CHEESIN FAM?]

Never bothered with trends and always stayed fresh

 

[ISO]

I think American Eagle was popping more than all of those if we being real...

I never rocked Aero, never wore Hollister it was too surfer cac-ish for my tastes, I think I had some jeans from A&F...

I was and still am big on Polo. During this time period Ralph had the Rugby line that even eventually got discontinued.

Rugbies, jackets, coats, sweatsuits, tees, Polo shirts, button ups, skullies, hats, boxers I don't even know how much I've spent on Ralph over the years.

I can't get jiggy with all the Balmains, Stussy, Bathing Ape, Nike Tech dudes is wearing today...

Who remembers the Nike Foamposite craze...

That split second in like '07-'09 when Nike ACG's was bigger than Timbs...

When Max B had nikkas in the hood wearing B.B. belts, dudes got really creative...

Black douche Dinner Jacket and Jeans phase... Usher did this to us.

That's some playa shyt; I would wear that without my pants rolled up

Once foamposites started doing that excessive graphic shyt with the shoes I gave them the , some of those color schemes are hazardous to the eyes , I was literally like when I seen the weatherman shyts

But NYC 2007 - 10 was the final era where NYC was innovating trends on the clothing tip from Trues , Robins , Marmot Biggies ... till this day other regions are just catching up to brands we were sporting in 2007/8

It actually had a lot of potiential but when the really ghetto community gets a hold of something yu can pretty much are the writing on the wall

 

[Grand Cru Boo]

Black douche Dinner Jacket and Jeans phase... Usher did this to us.

This is exactly how I dress 80% of the time EXCEPT with socks ( usually matching the coat) plus a white v instead of a button-up depending on the occasion and all of the that plus I put a little broach on the lapel just to give it a little flare.


Step your game up youngins

Looking back at my myspace and early facebook photos shyt really might be a contender .... hood niccas sporting surfboarding apparel and shyt smh , it truly was a travesty I'm glad it came to a closure

What era/location are you from?

 

[kaldurahm]

had a fake ass lacoste shirt, instead of alligator it was a turtle. That and fake J's were the worst I have. I stay rocking ugly button ups too

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

Not sure but wasn't Jay-Z already sporting that look in the Change Clothes video?

He might have been but I think Usher really popularized it. Usher was also wearing blazers with dragons and shyt emblazoned on the back and that became a thing.

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

minus all the money hanging out, that's still a good style

Yeah I fukk with the Hollister look lol

In DC Nike boots have always been bigger than timbs and foams have always been popping.

That's a testament to how far behind down south niccas were in terms of fashion ... Soulja Boy was sporting 6x tees and shyt in late 07 after niccas upnorth been put that to a cease
