Headbands were common place in the 90’s and FILA headbands led the pack. Aside from them being just a plain fashion accessory they were actually used for several things. If you had long hair they kept that @#$% out of your face, if your pockets were full or you just wanted to advertise to every free loader on the street that you had some cash then you could stuff a couple of twenty’s underneath. One of the more common uses however was the storage of a cigarette or blunt for that matter. While it may be uncommon for you to spot someone wearing them on the street today, don’t be surprised to see this trend pick up steam in the next few years (hell, if Pharell can sport a Smokey The Bear hat then headbands aren’t looking all that bad).
