HARLEM IS HIP

If you're a C Stylist. You must be versatile enough to wear any style though. Harlem is hip! Spear-headed by a wave of bright young rap kids like A$AP Rocky,Rihanna, Azealia Banks and Vinny Cha$e, Uptown is in the midst of creative renaissance, not least when it comes to embracing a fashion-forward outlook on life. As Spring is just around the corner, consider turning to the New Harlem Instagram  feeds for inspiration in adding uptown swank to your wardrobe.

Hip hop fashion, also known as urban fashion is a distinctive style of dress originating with African American youth on the scene of New York City,Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, the San Francisco Bay Area, Detroit, Memphis, Virginia, Atlanta, and St. Louis among others.

Each city contributed various elements to its overall style seen worldwide today. Hip hop fashion complements the expressions and attitudes of hip hop culture in general. Hip hop fashion has changed significantly during its history, and today, not only in the Philippines, it is a prominent part of popular fashion as a whole across the world and for all ethnicities.

SIMPSON FEVER

Most people, never naturally think about having carefulness as to what they wear on their feet. However, walking has become very popular over the past couple of decades as far as being used as an aerobic or cardiovascular exercise, so the best pick for me is the new Crocs Beach Line Collection.
