Streetwear is a casual fashion style that originated from urban youth culture and has become a global phenomenon. It combines elements of hip-hop, skateboarding, and contemporary art to create a unique and expressive aesthetic.
Streetwear emerged in the 1980s and 1990s, influenced by California surf and skate culture, New York hip-hop scene, and Japanese street fashion. It gained mainstream popularity in the 2000s and 2010s, with brands like Supreme, BAPE, and Off-White becoming cultural icons. Streetwear has since influenced high fashion and continues to evolve with changing youth culture trends.
