Breakdancers have noticeable fashion sense as the apparels they wear would affect their performance.
CAPS
Caps are worn to promote the hip hop image.
However it could also act as a head cover for certain moves that the breakdancer performs.

Analyzing the Fashion/Apparels within Deejaying
As you can see, Deejays usually have a distinct taste of apparels and accessories.
SHADES
One of the unique accessory that we find could represent Djs is their shades/spectacles.
These shades appeal more to the Hip hop scene as some artists within that genre made it popular.
It's an interesting design and it fits with the colourful and extravagant music scene.
CHAINS
Another unique accessory is the chain.
Accessories like chains could be glamourize the whole hip hop scene and these chains are usually expensive.
HEADPHONES
Headphones are worthy representing the image of a deejay as it is a vital equipment that they use for deejaying.
These oversized earpiece have become popular with the hip hop scene and it also provides good noise muffling properties.
Closer look on two elements of Hip Hop
B-boying
B-boying or breaking, commonly referred to as breakdancing, is a style of dance that evolved as part of street culture among all youths on the earth.
We feel that break dancing is related to hip hop as the dance moves are popularly associated with the music. Hip hop is a favorable music genre for break dancing as the tempo and beat pattern conditions are more suited for its movements.
Disc jockey
We feel that Djs are important and to hip hop culture as the music itself requires the technical help from them. The sound system and effects would not be complete if there wasn't a Dj around.
Brief History about the founder
Afrika Bambaataa is an American DJ from the South Bronx, New York who was instrumental in the early development of hip hop throughout the 1980s.[1] Afrika Bambaataa is one of the three originators of break-beat deejaying[2], and is respectfully known as the "Grandfather" and "Godfather" and The Amen Ra of Universal Hip Hop Culture as well as The Father of The Electro Funk Sound.
Hip Hop defined by Wikipedia
Hip hop as a cultural movement incorporates B-boying (breakdancing), graffiti writing, DJing and MCeeing. It originates in the African American, Afro-Caribbean and Latino American communities of New York City (with the South Bronx as the center) in the late 1970s.[1][2][3][3] It was DJ Afrika Bambaataa that outlined the five pillars of hip-hop culture: MCing, DJing, breaking, graffiti writing, and knowledge
hip hop culture
Hip hop to us consists of the upbeat music scene with
- Djs (disk jockey) scratching on turntables
- Rappers rapping to the music
- Break dancers dancing to the music..
All of this elements gathered with elaborate lights make up the hip hop culture/scene.
