Gear is Hoodies, skulls, baby doll and bar Ts. Gear is patches, screaming letters, bright colors, wild slogans and advertisements. Gear hangs low, embraces you like a hug, covers like a blanket. I'm the baby boomer with semi hip-hop taste. You're a walking billboard.
Clothing is understated.
Gear is something you wear to stand out. Everybody is into gear. Sports teams and colleges sell gear. I always fell into the trap of peeping the national name-brand lines. However, I am discovering that local designers are coming out with gear lines that are just as fine and just as funky.
