I can say with the Hispanic males and as it relates to street gangs, the origin of the style of dress goes back pretty far. As far back as 1929 for some street gangs. It has been suggested that one reason they would wear the over size clothing is because they were hand me downs from Dad and older brothers. This was because of financial constraints and was not a ‘cool’ thing then. However, overtime, the street gangs were formed by these same kids and they brought the style of dress with them. It evolved into the typical dress or ‘uniform’ if you will for the Hispanic street gangs. The black street gansg later adopted these from the hispanic gang culture. Anymore though, kids just wear what they think looks cool and so the think that the gang members look cool. Just like so many rebels dressed like James Dean, or Bikers dress like Marlon Brando in the wild one. The style of dress was at some point functional but over time became the way they dressed. I hope this makes sensee.
