Bucket hats: Bucket hats were at the height of the mod movement in the 60s then the bucket hat transitioned from a functional piece to a fashionable one, with styles that avoid using traditional cotton or tweed for felt or some other stiff fabrics that captured the spirit of the decade. Fast forward to the early 80s and the hiphop community saw immense potential in bucket hats some would argue that the bucket introduced rappers to the world of headwear, with many embracing the style on album covers and in music videos.

Flared jeans: Flared jeans, also known as bell-bottoms, are seen as iconic fashion pieces worn by hippies and rock stars in the 60s and 70s, but their origin actually comes from an unlikely source: the navy. This particular style can actually be traced back to the wide-legged trousers used by sailors in the US Navy in the 19th century. The flared look was at the time incredibly different from the mainstream styles being offered in big stores, and many men and women found it unique and funky enough to use themselves. People began to buy up these old pants and embellish them with flowers and funky designs as a form of protest against the US Military. The style eventually became synonymous with the ‘flower child’ movement, and was mostly associated with hippies.

Cargo pants: Cargo pants surged onto the fashion scene in the mid to late 90s. Following a “trickle up” theory of how fashions spread, cargo pants first were worn as fashion by urban hip hop performers in the 90s. This trend flowed up to the mass market, cargo pants were found at almost any men’s or women’s clothing retailer at this time. Although the cargo pockets on most items were functional, they often were unused and just worn as decorative details.
