Cannabis Culture & Fashion: Cannabis Clothing Brands to Shop From
Published on 9/8/22
Historically associated with rasta colors, fringe, and tie-dye, stoner apparel has significantly evolved alongside the increased legalization of cannabis across the country.
The 70s stoner clothing motifs were dominated by the flower child aesthetic, while the 90s and early 2000s rang in more colorful streetwear looks. One of the more recognizable trends of this time is the pot leaf sock, which dominated the Tumblr dashboards of many at the time. While there's still room in the market for funny stoner shirts emblazoned with bonafide 420 icons like Rick & Morty and Cheech & Chong, the style has significantly evolved in the past few years alone.
Elevating Elegance
As the stigma against marijuana softens, the market for it expands - opening opportunities for a wider variety of designers influenced by cannabis culture. Options have expanded to include even the most recognizable designers, such as Alexander Wang - whose Fall 2016 collection heavily features cannabis and pot leaves as an inspiration. Today, there are more options than ever to sport our favorite plant, so we're sharing some of our favorite cannabis clothing brands, from the low-budget to the high fashion.
