Awesome Black History: American fashion and style

contributed

Let’s get right to it. Black people have immensely influenced pretty much everything in America. Any quadrant of its culture, we’ve gotten ahold of it and flipped it..and then given it back to the world so they could enjoy it. One of the industries/lifestyles that African Americans have innovated is fashion. The fashion world (across the globe) has taken its cues from pretty much whatever Black folks have worn in any time period. Since fashion and style is a massive part of modern culture, this article is going to show how Black aesthetics have shaped what even you, the reader, are wearing right now. Check out all of the brief but fun videos below that show you the looks that knocked all of us out and changed our lives.

Now that was some Awesome Black History.
