Hoodies also serve other purposes like its way of concealing your image, urban dramas generally try to convey crime and various crime scenes, therefore in their attempts to keep their identity hidden in things such as crimes and fights, hoodies will be used in these scenes. This is effective as it is accurate to society today.

Stylish Trainers

Finally things like the stylish trainers give off a good fashion statement which would be a good thing within any social group.

Baggy Jeans
