Rising Trend: Bucket Hats.

Schoolboy Q may have single handedly brought bucket hats back to life, because he is straight up committed. Ever since his musical inception, or at least Habits and Contradictions, I have known him as a bucket hat wearing visionary. He owned that shit, and was really the only person I saw wearing them. But I noticed at SXSW, bucket hats were sprinkled around the joint like big booty white girls....bad analogy, but they were around.

I feel like it's a symbol of real hip hop coming back again. The bucket hat was first popularized in the 80s with artists like LL Cool J and Run DMC, and it coming back is really just respect for the art. It's still in it's initial phases, but already artists like Joey Bada$$, Kid Cudi, A$AP Rocky, Earl Sweatshirt, Trinidad James, Drake, Mac Miller, and even Usher (oh Lord) have been spotted rocking the new trend. Taking it back to some true hip-hop type shit (minus Trin, lol).

Trend Alert: Gold! Gold! Gold!

Have you noticed that the new jewelry metal of choice is gold? It used to be silver and platinum, but the overly present gold fad of the 80s and 90s is back in action. Golds in the mouth, on chains and fingers, gold 'erywhere.

Trends are cyclical, so it was only a matter of time before silver was no longer the most fashion forward option, and gold sprung into action. Let's take a look at who's embracing this shift in jewelry trend by first looking at the Master:

Gold Pins are an easy way to upgrade your outfit.

Just place them somewhere you can show them off:  like on your chest or a hat.
