Black boy/white boy smh wearing those racist ass brands

 

[Alvin]

No. The ed hardy, christian audiger, undershirt long sleeve, chain wallet, swatchy crystal(I know its spelled wrong eat a fat one) jean, "rock star" era was much worse

But that’s when people started wearing fitted clothes

 

[macadomusic]

Hollister was aight with me

 

[Alvin]

I fell off the wagon around 08/09 when I stop following trends and started doing me to be honest. Between 06-09 I had a closet FULL of trues and nudies. Looking back that shyt was a complete waste smh

Nudies a good Jean brand IMO

I went through a phase in 01-02 of wearing ambbercrombie and American eagle. It always funny when I look at what I wore then (that would literally get you laughed out the room) to now (where everything is accepted). Same thing with skateboarding. If you was black skating in 98, 99, 2000, you were a clown/lame

I still got a Von Dutch hat they I feel bad about throwing away.

That was my first and last time hopping on a trend.

I remember around that time Se7en jeans were popping too

Von Dutch is back lol

Damn I guess it is true that the south is late on fashion, I went through my American Eagle and Aeropostale phase in the early 2010s

I was on the skinny jeans and snapback wave too but skinny jeans...never again

Maybe I’m wrong but things are balancing out now fashion wise

The preppy era was late 00’s/early 10’s you good

 

[Noriega]

I remember this era, for me it was 5th-8th grade

 

[karim]

High school during that era hood black folks and preppy white folks rocking the same shyt
Glad I was rocking with polo and tommy
If it aint pony, it aint on me

it really doesn't get more preppy than hilfiger and polo

 

[karim]

This might have been before my time because I definitely don't recall that

 

[Frantz Fanon]

Yall remember when nikkas was rocking them colorful hoodies like Lupe/Clipse/Pharrell/Jay?

I was kinda close to buying one but luckily I knew that shyt wouldn't be cool the next fall/winter

I didn't wear rockstar shyt or Abercrombie in those days, instead I gravitated to the mid-2000s era of streetwear like this. I still feel the lingering embarrassment to this day of rocking Kid Robot and Artful Dodger hoodies and thinking that shyt was fly lol.
