The snapback is arguably one of today’s hottest fashion trends; it’s a staple in classrooms, public gatherings, special events, music videos, etc. One of Summer 2012′s biggest hit even features the trend, shouting out snap backs in the song, ‘snap backs and tattoos’. Various celebs and cyber famous personalities have also dawned the trend, with dozens of pictures to show for it on social networking sites like Instagram and Tumblr.

However, in recent times, the not so-well known strapback has surfaced. supposedly a more “elite” or “sophisticated” version of the snapback, it features a strap adjustment rather than a set of adjustments that are “snapped” into place as it typical with a snapback.

One user tweeted “anyone else see the new hats? #snapbacks” on December 8th. another user tweeted “Strapbacks>>>>>>” on the 9th of December, implying that there is nothing better than a strapback.
Just browsing through the conversations on Twitter, it becomes obvious that many people are choosing a side, some choose strapbacks because they are the new “it” thing and offer more versatility while others chose snapbacks because its more classic, and you can never go wrong with a classic.
Whatever the case, battle lines are being drawn and some are hanging up their snapbacks for the new comer while others are staying loyal to the snapbacks. Which side do you pick?

I was born in upstate New York, In Westminster County in the year 1992 to two loving parents, of Nigerian, West African descent. I was raised in various parts of the world including Trinidad and Tobago, Nigeria and Switzerland. I currently attend Salisbury University, in the state of Maryland, where I am a sophomore and my major is pre-nursing. In between changing schools and carrying suitcases between countries, fashion is the only thing that never seemed to change. From the time that I have been able to pick out my own clothes until now, my relationship with fashion has only blossomed and become deeper. I developed a love for fashion at a very young age, and my mother has always been there to encourage me to try new things and fear none other than God. I am always open to exploring and researching new ideas in fashion.
