FASHION TUESDAYS - SNAPBACK HATS!!!!!


THE RESURGENCE OF THE SNAPBACK HATS!!!!

Like everything in society today, trends of earlier decades are resurfacing in fashion…Different brands of sneakers, earlier styles of clothing and even retro type shades has creatively and surprisingly slowly made its way back into the fashion scene and having celebrities wearing them makes it a bit more easier for us to accept it. One sensation of the 80’s and early 90’s was the Snapback hats and it has been accepted with open arms by this generation
Being a young teenager in the early 2000’s, I had to have me a new era fitted hat, I had to have one, and being a avid New Yorker and Yankee fan I had to have all the colors….Wearing a hat for me symbolized so many different things from supporting my favorite sports teams, to representing where I was from, but when I took a deeper look into the scope examining Snapback hats I must say I surprisingly found out that it’s more of a phenomenon
It’s a proven fact that the fitted hat basically took the place of the Snapback hat…While trying to figure out why the Snapbacks are so popular again I found some unique things about them that make them awesome in my book.. Snapbacks are one size fits all and has a plastic adjustable snap which makes you happy as a consumer because they will always have your size...gotta love that and they just have this classic look to it: they all have old school logos of different sports teams and they are very colorful to say the least….
What a lot of people may not realize that unlike the fitted hats all snapbacks peaks will always have a contrasting color from the hat itself, it may be a bit more different now meaning that they might want to put a present feel to a vintage item but more so than often that’s part of what made them special and also that snapback hats all had a contrasting color under the peak…I’ve come to find out that they are very cool..These are some o f the reasons why I think the snapback hat has been resurging back into the scene…We all love classics and these hat are the true essence of retro
I’m a fitted guy but now I’m in love with Snapbacks, they still let you represent where you’re from and your different sports teams but I must admit they are a bit more “cooler”
