You will find hip hop dance costumes are well designed for hip hop dancing such as breakdance and crumping.
This urban culture has created a casual clothing style that is hip, looks cool on the streets and is suitable for dancing in. It is
influenced by the major artists of hip hop music.
It is a very unique mix of layers and clothes to create this street style of fashion.
Hip hop dancing is very energetic, with moves such as breakdancing and crumping and all hip hop clothes are either loose or fitted
and stretchy to be able to dance these moves in.
The best way to see what combination of clothes fits into the hip hop style is to look at the hip hop music artists, see photo's of hip hop
dancers to
see what they are wearing.
Watch a few films such as Step Up and Step Up 2, The Streets which are great dance movies centred around
the street culture and hip hop
dancing.
Hip Hop Styles
Hip hop fashion is basically made up of loose pants, jeans or cargo pants.
T Shirts, singlets or crop tops.
You can wear net shirts over crop tops, or hooded
jackets (hoods) and hip hop hats.
Hip Hop Hats - either Fedora style or cap, is a quick and easy accessory to get the look.
Hip Hop sneakers are a very important part of the look, suitable for dancing but still look good.
Here are a couple of places to find clothes online suitable for Hip Hop.
The other part to finish off the hip hop look is the Bling.
Referred to as bling, bling bling or iced out jewellery, it is big, shiny, and oversized.
Choose from dog tags, large watches, rings, bracelets, chains, pendants, earrings etc.
Large hoop earrings are great for girls. Chains with the $ dollar sign are very popular.
Look in your local jewellery and accessory shops for great bargains.
Create the Hip Hop Look
When putting together a hip hop costume for the stage, use the above basics to create a cool hip hop dance costume. Look for some dance sneakers from brands such as Bloch or Capezio which are great for dancing in and still look cool. Then add lots of silver sequins for the bling look as well as large silver costume jewellery.
Hip hop dancewear is the opposite of all that is jazz (neat, tidy, fitted, neat hair, all wearing the same costume).
Group hip hop dance costumes look best when everyone are wearing different outfits (maybe a central theme such as colour or style). Add different Hairstyles, such as pony tails, hats or wear it all down and straightened.
