Streetwear is more than fashion or a set of products, it’s almost its own subculture and way of living and being. It’s historically been defined and associated with an urban style and vibe of low key, relaxed and comfortable clothing with its origins in music (especially hip hop) and sports (like skateboarding or if you live on the West Coast, surfing). Commonly streetwear is a term used to refer to baseball caps, sneakers, hoodies, and basic tees. It’s a design aesthetic that is both athletic but also fashion orientated. These days the boundaries between high fashion and what we call street fashion have become more blurred as designers like Hedi Slimane for Dior have changed the rules of engagement, but certainly, when it started out, streetwear had no conventions, no big stake financial backers and was all about self-expression.\r
