Britpop Styles

Kangol bucket hats

Nothing says 90s like a Kangol-branded hat. A favourite of fishermen, Hunter S Thompson, Elton John and LL Cool J alike, bucket hats became a big part of the late-80s 'Madchester' era thanks to the Stone Roses and stuck around as a Britpop staple. 

From looking at the different Britpop styles and trends. As a group we've realised that a common trend that Oasis used throughout the 90's was wearing bucket hats. Therefore, it is important for us as a group to replicate this common trend in our final music video, as it will help create a professional video.

Parkas

Popularised by scooter-riding mods in the 60s, the funnel-neck parka had become a pivotal part of the Britpop aesthetic by the 90s. Oasis’ Liam and Noel Gallagher defined the look, swearing at paparazzi and sweating under stage lights in Stone Island’s hooded khaki coats zipped up to their chins, while on the dancefloors, fans adorned their coats with patches and badges to show their scene allegiance. 

From our research, as a group we've realised that Britpop successful bands wear Parka jackets/coats from many expensive brands. For example, Stone island and Burberry. It is extremely important, that we replicate this style throughout our music video. This is because Britpop bands like Oasis have worn Parka coats throughout their music videos/ concerts.

Levi's

Before we discovered our addiction to skinny jeans (which took hold at the beginning of the Noughties), there was boot-cut denim - which is just what Britpop girls wore. And if it wasn't boot-cut, it was baggy and scruffy - a look that came to define the era.

It is important that we replicate this as a group, in our final music video. This is because wearing Levi jeans was a common Britpop trend in the 90's. Therefore, if we didn't copy the trend, our music video would look unprofessional and irrelevant. By Oasis wearing Levi jeans it suggests that their trying to create a casual look.

Burberry Brit

If it wasn't a polo shirt, it was a checked shirt. In fact, it was pretty much a prerequisite to have both - they were the hallmarks of the Blur and Oasis wardrobe.

As a group, we realised that many successful Britpop bands wear the common trend of  Burberry polo shirts. Therefore, this suggests that its extremely important to wear polo shirts in Britpop music videos because helps convey the genre of the music video tot the audience. Which means, in our final music video we should replicate this common style, as it will help improve the quality of the music video.
