Hip hop clothes have become more and more popular, representing a fashion which is making a statement. As any other fashion trend, hip hop clothes have changed over the years and they have been adopted all over the world.
Hip hop clothes have been firstly worn by big hip hop stars like Run-DMC and LL Cool J in the 1980s. They were wearing big glasses, many rings, sneakers with ‘phat’ shoelaces. Big, gold necklaces and jewellery were also worn by other hip hop stars like Big Daddy Kane or Kurtis Blow. The haircut was another symbol of the hip hop trend: some singers were having Jheri curls; others had hi-top fade. But the Black Pride movement was the most powerful trend of the hip hop culture in the ’80s. It was symbolized by dreadlocks, Africa chains and black-green-and-red hip hop clothes.
In the 1990s the hip hop music changed, therefore the hip hop clothes suffered some changes too. Some singers (The Fresh Prince or Left Eye of TLC) were wearing bright coloured clothes and baseball caps. Other hip hop clothes were inspired from the dress code of street gangs and even prison uniforms. The prison inmates’ ‘fashion’ of not using a belt (the belt always being confiscated by the wardens whenever a new prisoner was brought in) has inspired the wearing of baggy pants with no belt. Some regions of the USA have contributed with some special symbols to the hip hop fashion. New York preferred hooded clothes and Timberland boots while the West Coast liked big flannel shirts and Converse sneakers. The South brought in gold teeth fashion.
The mid-90s brought in another trend, the mafioso fashion, represented by hats and alligator skin shoes worn mostly by hip hop stars like Jay-Z or the Notorious B.I.G.
The new rising stars at the end of the 1990s - Sean ‘Puffy’ Combs came with new symbols as shiny, flashy suits and platinum jewellery to replace the gold one. Combs saw the business opportunity of selling hip hop clothes; therefore he started his own clothing line. Other clothing companies as FUBU or Karl Kani earned millions of dollars from selling hip hop clothes.
But the hip hop fashion started to become distinctive for female singers. Lil Kim and Foxy Brown were famous for their shiny, couture appearances while other singers like Lauryn Hill or Eve were known for a more low-profile clothing style.
But jewellery remained the most distinctive symbol of the hip hop fashion. Hip hop singers wore platinum necklaces or rings with big embedded diamonds. Some of them even had platinum teeth.
Nowadays, hip hop clothes have turned into extremely famous clothing labels. Many hip hop singers have their own clothing lines like Jay-Z’s Roc-a-wear or Russell Simmons’ Phat Farm.
The hip hop clothes have changed from the street style to the more glamorous style of the stars.

Creating a Seduction Scent
“She left her scent all over the room
So even in the dark I’d see”
- Snowball in El Paso (Trace Adkins)
Choose a perfume or cologne that works well for you and stick with
it. Your goal is to have a scent so familiar that your man would
be able to pick you out in a crowded room with his eyes closed.
An added benefit is that anytime he encounters another
woman wearing your scent, he’ll immediately think of you.
The art of seducing anyone, anywhere, anytime.
Choose your scent carefully. Maybe your favorite perfume isn’t
really the right one for you. T
The secret to choosing the right scent lies in
understanding how your body chemistry interacts with
the scented oils that are used to make perfume.
Your body chemistry has a profound affect on how a perfume smells. That’s why a scent that’s perfect for one woman may be a total flop for another.
Believe it or not, your diet, medications that you are taking and
how dry or oily your skin is also affects the scent.
As a rule, women who have fair skin
and light hair tend to have the driest skin and should wear
stronger fragrances that will not be absorbed
as quickly.
As the hair color and skin tone gets darker, the
perfume should get progressively lighter.
Realize that your perfume is in competition with other products
that you use. For best results, try to choose a brand that also
offers skin and body lotion in the same fragrance, or use products with a neutral fragrance.
That way you will not confuse
his senses with a collision of different scents.
Choose an unscented deodorant as well as shampoo and conditioner that are lightly scented with a fragrance that does not compete with your perfume.
Perfume works best when it is used sparingly and applied to your body’s pulse points including your wrists, behind your ears, in the bend of your elbow, behind your knees and on the inside of your ankles.
Always apply your perfume before getting dressed so you don’t end up with perfume stains on your clothing.
Wear your perfume whenever you plan to see your man. He needs to have your scent imprinted in his mind.

The loincloth, worn thousands of years ago is likely to be the first undergarment worn by humans and it evolved into the thong over the years. Ironically, it was first worn by men in ancient times before it evolved into part of women’s lingerie in modern times. The Egyptians were one of the earliest people to wear this thong-like clothing. The earliest loincloths were made of leather and this was used until the introduction of fabric much later on. The famous King Tutankhamun was found buried with more than a hundred loincloths in his tomb.
Some people in ancient Greece, Rome and Japan also wore loincloths. In Japan, sumo wrestlers in particular are known to wear a loincloth when they are wrestling. In fact, right up to this very day, they still wear this.
In the middle ages, the loincloth was replaced by a large, loose outfit called ’braies’. This was usually made from linen and is much bigger than the loincloth. The braies is made with a covering at the front that could be buttoned or tied closed.
In modern times, historians trace the thong’s first public appearance to 1939 when New York Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia directed that the city’s nude exotic dancers to dress more appropriately.
Fashion designer, Rudi Gernreich was credited with introducing the first modern thong back in 1974. The thong was worn for many years by exotic Brazilian dancers and was very widely worn during the festivals. These tight, tiny thongs grew in popularity during the 80s in South America and were used as swimwear at the beaches.
In the US, the sexy thong only gained wide acceptance in the 90s when exotic lingerie came into the mainstream. Today, the thong is one of the best selling styles of undergarment in the world. The size of the lingerie industry is said to be over US$2 billion a year.
Many designers today have come up with very flamboyant and creative designs and the thongs today are very different from the designs of yesteryears. It is extremely minimalist, erotic and chic. Many women prefer the thong to other types of lingerie because they can wear tight pants without showing the panty line.

1. Treat your business clothing as an investment and choose wisely. Make sure you buy classic styles that suit your body shape, are comfortable, have quality workmanship and quality material. This is no time to try the latest fads. Take your time and shop around for the best price and the best service. Be aware of the return policy and if possible purchase your wardrobe items at a store that can do professional alternations if necessary.
2. For business situations match your handbag, shoes and belt. Black shoes should be matched with a black handbag. This is not a time to get creative with your accessories or to wear colored shoes.
3. Do not neglect your outerwear. Purchase a good quality coat that can be worn with either pants or a skirt. For cooler weather don’t neglect your outdoor footwear. For skirts choose long knee-high boots.
4. Keep shoes and boots in a good state of repair. Scuffed shoes with worn heels will ruin the look of your outfit.
5. To complete your look choose soft leather gloves that will add a nice touch as well as keep your hands from getting chapped.
6. Choose clothing material that reflects the season. Heavy fabrics and tweeds are best for Fall and Winter and will look out of place during Summer, as light linen fabrics will look out of place during Winter.
7. Always wear a belt where there are belt loops. Choose a good quality leather belt and don’t be tempted to wear a flashy or plastic belt. If you don’t like belts choose pants without loops.

When women started to wear men’s clothes to prove that they are equal with men, that they are not inferior and can do the same job men do. It is a part of emancipation – women started to vote, earn money, and occupy important positions. Clothing was only a part of such process. Very painful process for women pioneers who were first to put on pants and jackets. Most of us probably do not realize what price did those women pay to change opinion of society and be able to wear men’s clothes. They paid a high price so that women of twenty first century can wear pants, drive cars, vote, work in police or a big corporation, simply express their opinions, and not be regarded with prejudice. There is big ideology behind females wearing men’s pants and shirts.
What ideology would be behind males wearing skirts? If those men are not Irish and not homosexual, what point would they want to prove? Do men consider that women have more rights then men? After all, ladies today are allowed to wear all kinds all clothes and men – only men’s cloth. I think if a man want to wear a dress or a skirt, he thinks that women have to many rights and that they are not supposed to be better then men in any way, they are not supposed to wear better clothes then men.
Women had to wear men’s clothing in order to occupy the same jobs – to be a bodyguard, to work in police or serve in the army. There is not only ideology, but simple necessity for women to wear male clothes. There is nor ideology, neither necessity for men to wear women’s clothes. The only possible reason would be for them to say that they do not women to be even a step before men in anything. But that would not be fair since men still definitely have more rights and privileges. Women always have to prove something in order to show that they are not worse. Men have enough benefits in our society. Why do they want to have one more? Is it because they are afraid to lose their championship in gender relations?
I definitely would not want my husband to wear women’s clothing. I am not a feminist, but I am for equal rights for men and women. I want my husband to treat me fairly. I do not want to prove him every single day that women are not inferior to men.
Men do not have to stay at home raising children. They are excused for devoting more time to themselves and their career than to home and family. In our society, men are allowed to do much more things than women and they are easier excused for cheating, betrayal, and unusual preferences. They have enough rights and enough freedom. And to grant them one more right, even such seemingly unimportant, as wearing female’s clothing, would be not fear regarding women. As an equal and fair society, we are supposed to move towards greater equality between men and women. And allowing men to wear women’s clothing is a step definitely not in this direction.

Today, sunglasses have become everyone’s bestfriend. We never leave home without them. We carry them just about anywhere our lives take us. We never miss out on every opportunity to sneak at the shades counter whenever we get the chance. Sunglasses are fast becoming indispensable. They don’t just keep out those dangerous UV rays but they also exude a lot of attitude. They’re our eyes on the world, especially the fashion world. The world ultimately looks better and hipper through the lenses. But with all the variety of trends coming on the scene, how do we pick the right shades? How do we know they fit our facial profile?
Here’s a list of quick tips for sunglasses picks to match your face:
Square Face
You need slightly curved frames with the top high enough on the face to downplay the jaw line. Try aviator or wrap styles that suit your moods.
Round Face
Straight or angular frames in a deep color such as black or tortoise flatter the features of your face. For a good fit, try square-framed sunglasses with colored lenses.
Triangular Face
Defined by a broad forehead and a narrow mouth and chin, your face can be complemented with thin rims and vertical lines. Sleek oval frames with colored lenses also looks becoming on you.
Oblong Face
Similar to the square face with a little more length, the shape of your face looks best with a frame that covers as much of the center of the face as possible. Avoid large frames, heavy nose bridges, bold colors and square shapes. Experiment on updated classics for a trendy look.
Oval Face
With an oval shape, you can choose more shapes than any other. However, always remember to pick frames in proportion to the size of your face.
Aside from finding the perfect frame for your face, you should also consider frames that are proportional to your nose. Oversize frames balance out a large nose, while short noses should find sunglasses with a high bridge and a light color. Long noses are complemented by a double bridge and frames with high sidebars, drawing attention toward temples.
A good rule of thumb: Go for the frame that is opposite from the shape of your face. Think of the word “balance” and make sure to play around with many different shaped frames before you decide on your final choice.
