Kangol: Throwback Style

(pic via www.bet.com)

Founded in England, Kangol clothing initially provided head wear for soldiers during World War II. In the 80's, Kangol berets merged with influential members of the hip-hop community to form a new facet in hip-hop fashion. Soon after, Kangol hats rapidly spread throughout the urban fashion world.

On the urban scene, rapper LL Cool J emerged as the fresh face of Kangol fashion. For years, LL Cool J could rarely been seen WITHOUT a Kangol hat.

As a matter of fact, I'm going to go dig out from my closet my Kangol beret and rock it to my high school reunion next week...sooo RETRO! In the meantime, I will be groovin to the below old-school LL Cool J video...
