2000s - United States. Fashion slowly becomes less grungy and more excessive as the wearing of flannel by people under 30 declines and acid-washed jeans and shaggy hair become again commonplace for boys and men. For girls and women hoop earrings, originally popular in the 1980s and early 1990s, return to style circa 2004. Wearing baseball caps backwards peacefully falls out of style, in favor of wearing them sideways or forwards. Sunglasses begin to become less widespread as a fashion statement, un ...

Boxing in the 1980s was filled with important fights, events and personalities that shaped the sport. Boxing in the 1980s was shaped by many different situations, such as the continuous corporate battles between the different world sanctioning organizations, the void left by Muhammad Ali as the sport's ambassador and consequent search for a new boxing hero, the continuous presence of Don King as the sport's most famous promoter and the surge of rival promoters as Bob Arum, Butch Lewis and Murad Muhammad.

The silhouette, which was essentially close to the body with tight sleeves and a low, pointed waist to around 1615, gradually softened and broadened. Sleeves became very full, and in the 1620s and 1630s were often slashed to show the voluminous sleeves of the shirt or chemise beneath. Waistlines rose. Dense surface ornament fell out of fashion in favor of solid-colour satins, and ribbon bows were common as trim. Spanish fashions remained very conservative. The ruff lingered longest in Spain and Holland, but disappeared f ...

The wide, broad-shouldered silhouette of the 1540s and 1550s gradually shifted to a tall, slender look. Sleeves and shoulders became narrower in the 1560s, expanded through the 1570s and 1580s, and narrowed again at the end of the period. Waistlines dropped toward a low point in front for both men and women. The severe fashions of the Spanish court under Philip II of Spain were dominant through the early part of the period every where except France; black garments were worn for the most formal occasions. Regional styles were still dis ...

As hip-hop music and culture grew and developed, its fashion began to change as well. Pop rappers such as The Fresh Prince, Kid 'n Play, and Left Eye of TLC popularized the wearing of bright, often neon-colored, clothing and the wearing of regular items such as baseball caps and even condoms in unusual ways. A number of fads existed during this period as well, including Kris Kross' method of wearing their clothes backwards. Gangsta rap became one of the most prevalent styles of hip hop, and by the mid-1990s, hip-hop fashion had taken ...

Fashion can suggest or signal status in a social group. Groups with high cultural status like to keep 'in fashion' to display their position; people who do not keep 'in fashion' within a so-called "style tribe" can risk shunning (see also peer pressure). Because keeping 'in fashion' often requires considerable amounts of money, fashion can be used to show off wealth (compare conspicuous consumption). Adherence to fashion trends can thus form an index of social ...

What could be called "modern" punk fashion has been primarily influenced by Hardcore, Grunge, and to a lesser extent, Goth/Death rock. Today, different facets of the punk scene have different clothing habits. Skatepunks commonly have short hair and wear baggy jeans, Dickies, unnecessarily long wallet chains, wife beaters (also known as A-shirts), hooded sweatshirts, branded skate shoes (such as DC or Vans), studded belts and wrist bands. Other punks wear leather, denim, spikes, chains, and combat boots. Their hair is typically dyed and arran ...
