If you look back a decade or two ago with hip hop music at a steady rise, and the whole attitude and fashion sense that came with it, you can see that urban fashion is directly linked with this culture.
Hip hop music and the culture itself is known for trend setting, meaning that it has the power to pursue large numbers of people to look, act or even think a certain way.
Fashion is one of the biggest aspects of this culture.
Many trends have come and gone, and some still popular today like the act of wearing a baseball hats with your outfit.
The one trend that is slowly but surely going out of style is baggy clothing.
There was a time period especially in the southern states of America were urban fashion was thought of as extremely baggy jeans and tall t-shirts that reached almost to your knees.
This was considered cool for a while and everybody was into it.
Rappers dressed this way so their fans followed by doing the same.
Recently, the situation has changed.
The new rappers are more edgy and style conscious.
They wear and embrace more fitting clothing, some more fitting than others.
Some older rappers have questioned or even opposed this change in fashion and do not really embrace it, saying it portrays a feminine aspects of clothing.
They say tight clothing should be left for women, but the few that do stand up and try to defend baggy clothing only get overshadowed by the masses.
This phenomenon has also changed the way urban fashion designers design and showcase their clothing to their buyers.
Their clothes are slimmer and promote more of a gentleman's look, not that of a thuggish individual.
