From classic horror to modern trends
Run DMC are shown in Adidas tracksuits, gold chains, and hats. The hip-hop movement had a huge influence on streetwear.
Break dancers are shown dancing on the streets. It was around this time that the streetwear look began to take off in a big way.
Gradually, sportswear moved off the track and field, and onto the streets. It suddenly became so normal that it wouldn't be uncommon to see a family all wearing it.
At this time, casual streetwear was a very frequent and widely followed trend. Both comfortable and highly accessible, its popularity was immense.
Even though field hockey is being played in this picture, the clothes we see are very much street fashion by 1993, and very widely worn.
Branded sportswear such as Nike, Adidas, and Reebok is staple casual attire, especially for teenagers and young people.
Classic streetwear like Adidas is combined with other fashions, such as the Gap hoodie, denim jackets, and Burberry check.
Having certain brands of clothes became integral to the image and look of groups of young people.
The hoodie, denim jacket, and track pants combination was hugely popular at the turn of the century, and is becoming so again.
In 2000, streetwear was mainstream fashion. While it is still very common today, the celebrity and designer attention it receives did not apply back in 2000.

However, there may still be some small differences between mainstream streetwear and high-end, highly expensive styles.
Streetwear is now a major element of catwalks. While it could be argued that often catwalk style is not representative of what is seen on the streets, in this case, that isn't true!

Like his wife Hailey, Justin Bieber is also a big fan of streetwear, and has taken very strongly to the look in recent times.
