Kangol Bucket Hats:

This particular style of hat became popular during the late 80's 'Madchester' era. They were specifically worn by Artists such as: Elton John, LL Cool J and the Gallagher brothers. Thanks to Oasis and The Stone Roses it stuck around as a Britpop staple. In 2016, the millinery still remains the perfect accessory for any festival fanatic.

We can use this style of Fashion within our Music video to recreate one of the biggest fashion statements during the Britpop era. It will also show our knowledge on the fashion of the genre but also the fact that many Artists wear these styles of clothing during their Music videos. Many fishermen used to wear Bucket hats to protect from the rain whilst fishing. Many fans of the Britpop genre started to wear these in Manchester, to protect them from the rain during festivals and concerts. From there on, it has spiraled into a huge fashion statement of that era.

Parka Jackets:

The Parka jacket was first popularised by Scooter-riders to protect their suits from elements when riding their bikes due to its large cover. The funnel neck parka has become pivotal to a part of the Britpop aesthetic by the 90s. Oasis' Liam and Noel Gallagher defined the look through swearing at paparazzi's and also re-vitalizing the Stone Island trend. Fans adorned their coats with patches and badges to show their allegiance to the genre.
