The hip hop culture wave has returned with the snapback hat dominating the scene.
For a long time, the music trend and the fashion world have always had an intersection with prominent trends such as teen pop, punk or goth. And in each music culture, fashion always plays a key role in affirming the uniqueness of each melody. For the hip hop music scene, snapback hats have become an indispensable part of the style of street artists.
First appearing in the 1950s and 1960s, when baseball caps became a popular accessory, this item could only be adjusted in size by tightening the laces. By the 1980s, when the fashion industry developed and the “snap” button helped the wearer easily change the size, the snapback hat conquered the fashionistas who loved street style at that time. Especially in the 1990s, the rise of the hip hop movement worldwide contributed greatly to bringing the snapback hat back to the peak of popularity, and becoming an iconic fashion trend.
Snapback hats are not only loved for their convenience and ease of combination with many different types of outfits. Moreover, this item also represents a part of hiphop culture, from music to style. Recently, the return of snapback hats in the “race” of style has not only revived the music culture of the 1990s but also opened a new era for street fashion. With constant creativity and influence from fashion stars, snapback hats continue to be one of the prominent symbols in modern fashion.
When fashionistas are “crazy” about the trend of attaching decorative accessories to fashion items, they cannot ignore snapbacks. Fashionistas are taking turns upgrading this item to a new level with the “mokku” trend. Besides the basic hats in dusty street outfits, snapback hats have now become more attractive and carry each individual’s own color.
