The Chicago hip hop music scene has been
headlining all the recent newspapers, with articles on Chance the Rapper and
former band Kids These Days. However, the music needs to take a quick backseat
as we examine the defining styles of this culture. Their fashions are simple,
yet worthy of being on a stage. Chance the Rapper has recently been rocking a
tye dyed “acid trippy” hoodie, along with this signature snapback hat. Members
of Kids These Days kept their looks cohesive by wearing well-fitting jeans,
along with a basic or graphic tee. Other rising artists are Kelsey and Noname
Gypsy, who add their feminine twist by mixing in either frilly pieces or taking
the more “male hip hop look” and adding accessories such as hoop earrings or
heavier makeup.
Here are some pictures of Chance the Rapper and Vic Mensa of Kids These Days:

look:
