Description
In the early 1980s, the UK witnessed the rise of the casuals, while Italy saw the emergence of the Paninaro. This Italian subculture, characterized by its affinity for cafes, fast food joints, motorbikes, and the latest designer fashion such as Best Company clothing, began in Milan. Here, middle-class youth with similar tastes would gather in panini bars, flaunting their expensive designer outfits. Inspired by American consumerism and the vibrant spirit of the 80s, the Paninaro movement quickly spread to other major Italian cities, including Rome and Naples. This lifestyle, transcending mere fashion, became a significant chapter in the history of global subcultures, introducing a distinctive wave of style.
Bold and iconic, only a select few brands epitomized the Paninaro style: Stone Island, C.P. Company, Moncler, and Best Company Clothing. This Italian fashion was renowned for its vibrant colors, pairing bright gilets with logo t-shirts, eye-catching sweatshirts, jeans, and Timberland boots. Throughout the 80s, Best Company Clothing was the ultimate Paninaro brand, offering everything from graphic t-shirts to waterproof outerwear. Today, it enjoys cult status for its strong ties to youth subculture. By the late 80s, the Paninaro style had crossed over to the UK, sparking the 90s casual era dominated by designer labels and distinctive style.
The Classic Polo Shirt by Best Company would be a great piece to add to your collection.
