Bucket hats were a booming trend in the 80's and 90's among rappers and celebrities alike, but could they be making a comeback in 2014? Originally, the floppy headwear was only seen on the heads of fishermen and vacation beach goers, but in 1979 the debut of the bucket hat in Big Bank Hank's music video set the precedent for the fashion staple in the music industry.
Hip hop icons such as Earl Sweatshirt, Kid Cudi, and Schoolboy Q can be attributed for keeping the trend alive today. Costing upwards of $30 and stylized anyway you can imagine, celebrity style clearly gives bucket hats two thumbs up, but people in the real world have various opinions.
Bucket hats can be seen all around Northwestern, but 10th grader Janaija Beckham is not on board. "I find them unappealing, because the design is stupid to me," Beckham responds when asked her opinion.
On the contrary, Jailene Rubio (10) replies with "..they're cute" and claims they're so popular nowadays "...because the type of clothing in the 90's is coming back."
Though not for everyone, bucket hats have indeed deemed themselves trend worthy in 2014, and will most likely continue on for years to come.

"No-Shave November": For fun or for charity? by: L.A. Faulkner
Posted: 13 November 2014
"No-Shave November" is a popular topic amongst the male population during the month of November. The objective of "No-Shave November" is to raise awareness for men's health issues such as prostate and testicular cancers. The money spent on shaving products is donated to charities that research cancer and work to develop treatments for the health issues. Majority of the participants do not know the reason behind "No-Shave November."
The trend was introduced in Adelaide, South Australia in 1999 by a group of young men. Over recent years, notable celebrities, such as Mark Foster from the band Foster the People, professional soccer player David Beckham, and actor Ryan Gosling have participated in "No-Shave November."
When asked about the topic, Northwestern High School teacher, assistant athletic director, and coach, John Bramlett explains that he has never heard of it before and says, "I don't like to shave. That's why I look the way I do." After being informed about "No-Shave November", he stated that he liked the reason behind it. "I think any time we can raise awareness for health issues, it's a great thing." Bramlett also states that he would think about participating in honor of memory of someone who has cancer or has passed away from cancer. "No-Shave November" may be a popular trend but it's popularity stems from reasons other than health issue awareness.
