[quote=Anonymous]OP, I know nothing about fashion, but I think I get what you are asking.  I live in DC, and my kid played on DCPS and PG county sports teams where he happened to be the only white kid and all the other kids were Black.  His friend group was 100% his teammates, they all dressed similarly, not in a way that was “Black”, but in a way that was more slightly urban/streetwear than most of the white kids at his school. Also, he got into expensive Jordans for a while.  Again, none of that is “Black teen fashion” per se, but it is what that group of mostly Black teens wore at that time.  Nobody said anything to him or seemed to think he was appropriating anything, but he eventually moved away from dressing that way because his friend group changed from mostly athletes to mostly musicians, and they are all into flannels and doc martens.

I will say that I’ve heard kids make some negative comments about white people in dreads, but as long as you son isn’t growing dreads he’s probably fine. [/quote]
