2000 Chav Culture

Keywords:

• Sporty
• Cheap
• Practical
• Relaxed and chilled out

Since the 2000's, something that is called the 'chav' culture has hit Britain. This is a laid back form of clothing which is sometimes linked with rebellious or gang behaviour.

Typical brands within the 'chav' culture are Burburry, Adidas, Puma, Lonsdale, McKenzie, Nike and Reebok.
This type of clothing is usually slouched style and consists of tracksuit bottoms and a tracksuit top or sweater.

This type of clothing is usually used now in dance for practicality over looking good, it is lightweight, cheap, easily replaceable and flexible. A lot of this type of clothing is also circulates a lot of air.

1990's Girl Band

Keywords:

• Turtleneck
• Layering
• Jeans with boots
• Colour

90's fashion was all about chilled out, grunge like fashion. Layering was popular among many young and old people.

Teenagers wore high neck shirts, or wore belly shirts so that they would be showing some skin. This was always accompanied with some sort of boot or chunky shoe.

The girl-band phase was kicked off in the 90's with the introduction of the most famous girl band in the world; the Spice Girls.
The Spice Girls formed every type of girl there was, from sporty to scary, ginger to posh and baby. Each spice girl used 90's fashion in a particular colour to represent their own character.
The Spice Girls were famous for their platform boots, chunky trainers, boob tubes and cut out dresses.

It was a very laid back fashion, and people mostly wore jeans with most things. A pair of slouch jeans for everyday and a pair of dress up jeans for going out.

1980's Glam Rock

Keywords:

• Colour
• Leather
• Face Paint

Glam rock was an era in the 1980's which came just before thrash and other metal types of music. Big hair, bright colours and gothic style combined to make this unique look. Both women and men adopted this glam rock style and it is often called 'hair metal'.

Face paints were all very popular for these glam rock bands, an example of this would be the band KISS. They use heavy makeup alongside their long hair to create a scary look.

These men in bands also had long hair, which was usually permed or crimped. Many also used dyes including bleach and highlights to make them stand out. Often studded belts, chokers, bandannas and bracelets were used to vamp up their look.

Leggings and tight pants made from leather were prominent during the glam rock or hair metal years. Many men in these bands were seen as quite feminine, and usually had accompanying dance routines to perform around the stage with their guitars in hand.
