There are so many different types of brands out there these days and this is very true when it comes to clothing brands. This is probably down to the number of new clothing styles that have evolved in recent years. The emergence of extreme sports and new music genres has contributed to this as art has collided head on with fashion.
Here are my top two clothing brand styles.
Surf Wear
Surf wear is a phrase that was coined to categorize the clothing of surfers. This initially began with surfers from the Southern California scene who began creating their own clothing brands. This was a result of the rise in popularity of surfing and its recognition as a sport which meant surfers could get sponsorship deals with surfboard and wet suit manufacturers. Examples of famous surf wear brands include Volcom, Quiksilver and Billabong.
Skate Wear
Skate wear was used to describe clothing brands that came out of the skate scene. Skate wear has close links with surf wear as both styles emerged out of the same scene as skateboarders and surfers tend to be one and the same. This is no surprise as originally skateboards were designed by surfers to practice surfing on land. The two clothing styles are fairly similar but each individually caters for the needs of skateboarders or surfers. Recognized skate wear brands include Vans shoes, Etnies and Element.
