Clothing
Clothing is a big part of Young Money's presentation. Apart from all the desogner and expensive clothing, the way it is worn seperates the artists from others. Baggy jeans are usually a normal dress style in Hip Hop but Young Money don't always have the same style. The group wear clothing outside of the normal Hip Hop range and wear recognisably different styles. skinny jeans worn low is a big style icon from Young Money. Also Young Money favour accessories such as hats and glasses. This is a style to be worn fashionably rather than a needed accessory for example Sunglasses will be worn indoors or when it is not sunny.
