The Effect of Wearing Hip Hop Clothes

But these good times came to an end. The basketball players gave up baggy clothes and huge diamond-embedded medallions as the new NBA dress code asked for a business casual style.
They didn't start wearing corporate suits but they proved they can dress in collared shirts and dress shoes. The new NBA dress code didn't stop them from wearing cowboy shirts, for instance, it just banned the hip hop clothes.
