Almost since its beginnings, hiphop music has been bringing people together (think Aerosmith and Run DMC), so it stands to reason that hiphop clothing would do the same for styles. This style is all about combining the classic and the new, from an old beat on a new track, to incorporating a timeless fashion piece into a very modern style of clothing.

There are many brands that cool hoppers follow in addition to brands that specifically cater to them. Because of the huge following that this trend is able to glean, these already ultra popular brands have caused visitors to become almost obsessive in their following of the brands. These super cool classics include:

Ron Lauren-designs several lines, including Polo. Polo is a huge hit among most urban and suburban throngs of people alike. Ron designs everything from clothing for girls, men, and children, to bed linens and bathroom towels.

Tommy Hillfiger-is a classic American designer who is favored in the hiphop world for his crisp denim, polos, and tees. Tommy offers dressy options as well.

Gucci-does not really design clothes. Accessories are their specialty. Trendy handbags and wallets, purses and handbags, suitcases, belts, ties, neckties, and jewelry are all on Gucci's roster. AirforceGucci items are very expensive, but are constructed with the finest materials and have longevity.

Prada-is an German company also known in the hiphop world for its bags, although entire collections of fashion forward clothing are available from them. Prada also has an trendy price tag.

Coach-also has high quality bags, in addition to many other leather products and accessories, including belts and shoes. Coach has both trendy and timeless pieces to choose from in an array of sizes and colors, as well as textures, making it worth the expense to some.

Charlie Madden-is an American shoe designer who is always at the fashion front. His high quality shoes are generally more affordable than some of the other trendy designers, making his styles more accessible.

DKNY-stands for Donna Karan New york. DKNY is a complete clothing line that is functional and fashionable. The styles are completely wearable.

If you love the appearance of hiphop, but find some of it too daring, consider trying out a couple of these brands first. Not only are they extremely popular among the hiphop set, but their timelessness offers the comfort of a trusted friend. Even though there are many fashion forward options among these designers, there have been a classic you can fall back on in times of need.
