The fashion of the 1990s is omnipresent this year. The proof: even the bob becomes a trend accessory in 2018!
No need to proudly leave your bob recovered on the caravan of the Tour de France! The bob is actually trend but not this one. So, in this summer of 2018, the fashion of the 90s resurfaced, the bob operates (as well as the shirt for men ) a return as shattering as unexpected.
Indeed, it is not the men wholesale clothing accessory that we spontaneously thought to be elegant and yet, having style with a bob is possible. Just choose it.
The little story of the bob
The bob was popularized by US soldiers of the Second World War. Nicknamed the "Roberts", these soldiers wore this hat during the Liberation. By association of ideas, the "Roberts" protected themselves from the sun with their "Bobs".
Older, the "bucket hat" was that of Irish fishermen and farmers. He had the advantage of protecting the head without hindering vision and slipped easily into the pocket. It was, therefore, the practical hat par excellence.
A more or less popular hat
Since the Liberation, the bob has regularly returned to the fashion podiums. In the 60s and 70s, he could replace Panama or the pork pie. He was then rather a tweed and very British.
Then came the success of hip-hop whose representatives took hold of this headgear, making the bob the essential accessory of the nineties streetwear style.
How to choose your bob?
This summer, the bob becomes a centerpiece of the men wholesale clothing wardrobe. Iconic brands have brought it up to date. This is the case of Stussy, Huf but also Ralph Lauren, Kenzo, Lacoste or Burberry. Thus, the bob becomes chic without promoting the sausage.
It is rather sober and it is worn with dark Bermuda shorts, a light shirt (or the famous shirt) or a polo shirt. We really avoid the sandals and the T-shirt and we completely forget the marcel. Knowing that the banana is also back, we will still avoid wearing both accessories at the same time. Banana or bob, you will have to choose!
