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

[Stacker Pentecost]

In the mid to late 90s i was all about the island shirts with the airwalk sneakers. Then polo and tommy hillfiger thanks to rae and ghost. Then i started rocking skate gear. Like world industris/blind shirts, droors jeans, and es and dc shoes. Back then that shyt was fresh as hell.

I had my little du rag era too in late 2003-2004.

I had a nice little Aeropostale/Abercrombie run when I first got to college, 05-07... My best friend used to work at Hollister, we used to stay in jeans & polos from there. Last couple years and post grad I went full sneakerhead with graphic tees, hoodies, denim, and exclusive sneakers. The shoe game died in like 2011-12 tho and my look kind of matured into what is is now...

is that real sean john?

Lmfao we used to clown that part from the movie all the time.

im still out here in Bape you just cant have XXXXL sized hoodies

lets talk about how Rugby Ralph Lauren was the GOAT era tho

 

[Milk N Cookies]

You had new generation LA bloods & Crips rocking that shyt

it look like they finally let black people model their gear,

I always wanted one of the hoodies that zipped over the face.

 

[DJ Mart-Kos]

Naw, Ralph Lauren isn't out of style, I have a bunch of shirts. I was thinking more of the USPA and Beverly Hills polo types When I was 10th grade like 3 years ago, the Welding teacher walked in class with a shirt like this

the logo was huge as hell and the class fell out laughing

i think those type of Polo's are still dope though.

 

[Bunko]

that phase was corny as fukk. I just kept it simple.
and some air forces/Constructs(tall cans) and some Omave jeans and you was safe.

Wash that bytch once and it goes from 7XL to M, in one cycle.

 

[Mook]

Blame Jim Jones, Stack Bundles, and Kanye for killing baggy clothes.

The mid 00s were WOAT because of all the white boy imposter ass clothes and that fake ass swag, just cause you wear them.

Another fat nikka mad he can't rock 48 jeans and be cool

 

[Kenny West]

Nah the "skinny nikkas running shyt" era around 2010-2011 was the worst

ushered in by fags like Soulja Boy and Wiz Khalifa

woat post

 

[Eternally Jaded]

Super baggy era was worst, but neither was a good look for us.
U just gotta grow up, stop riding waves and just get your own look n grow it out.

I never rocked Hollister or A&F, but was rocking Naked and Famous, and still do today.
Keep my sneakers simple, and require a fresh pair of wheat Timbs and black suede Timbs on deck for the casual, with Monks and Oxfords for the more dapper occasion.
Nothing bright and gaudy, just simple and fitted to hold well.

 

[Danie84]

I never wore those entitled off-brand shyt

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

shyt was kind of sad looking back how we deviated from not only urban brands , but just how we assembled our gear to damn near dressing like cacs from dawson creek and shyt smh , shyt was an atrocity moe

It's up there , but atleast the rockstar shyt was some form of rebellion type shyt ... that surfboarding shyt was suede soft

I think it looked better

And that rockstar shyt was CAC style too. Jersey Shore dudes were on that Christian Audigier bullshyt first.

If urban brands could get closer to fitting nicely and away from wack designs centered around brand display they could do better. Its not the 90s.

 

[Stacker Pentecost]

its weird cause trues and robins are still in style on the east coast

Trues are never going out of style I swear

 

[Ol’Otis]

neg pending

if anything trues are played out, nudies never got overexposed like true's did for them to be played out

where u from

Yeah trues a played for sure

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Yes by far. Didnt think it would sink any lower after the rockstar/ed hardy era. And it did

Actually no, the rockstar era was worse(nikkas wearing mohawks ) but the hollister era is 2nd woat

I hate when Black ppl wear shyt like that.

I also hate when they wear those t-shirts with rock bands on em.

 

[Ol’Otis]

I like this time better maybe it's bcuz I'm older and don't feel the need to follow trends

I still rock slim straight Levi's
One colored polos (usually black,blue,red or white)
And any kind of nike's or adidas
Retro J's are just played tf out to me
I just keep it simple
