If you’ve walked down the streets of Sydney, caught a tram in Melbourne, or hit the nightlife in Brisbane, chances are you’ve seen it—that bold, almost defiant Trapstar Hoodie. More than a hoodie, it’s a symbol. A movement. A wearable piece of street heritage that fuses London grit with Aussie cool.
But what exactly gives the Trapstar hoodie its staying power? Is it the comfort? The hype? The undeniable cultural clout?
Let’s dive in.
. Celebrity Proof (2025 Sightings)
Who’s wearing Trapstar in 2025? Everyone with real style.
Earlier this year, Central Cee was snapped in a custom Trapstar hoodie during his Sydney show, setting local Twitter ablaze. Tyla sported an oversized Trapstar hoodie on the Gold Coast while filming a shoot for Vogue Australia. Even NBA’s LaMelo Ball, spotted courtside in Melbourne, rocked a red and black Trapstar hoodie—proving it’s not just a London thing anymore.
When celebs wear it, it’s hype. When real people adopt it? That’s culture.
. Fit Check: Cut, Drape & Details
Comfort matters. But a clean silhouette hits harder.
Trapstar hoodies are cut slightly boxy with a drop-shoulder, mimicking the relaxed UK fit that’s now iconic in Aussie streetwear. You’ll notice reinforced ribbing at the cuffs and hem, kangaroo pockets stitched deeper than average, and cinched hoods that don’t flop.
This isn’t fast fashion. It’s wearable structure.
. Sydney to Perth: The Aussie Rise
The Trapstar wave hit Sydney first, thanks to sneakerheads and stylists bringing London looks into Newtown and Parramatta. But it didn’t stay east.
By mid-2024, Perth’s hip-hop scene adopted Trapstar as a uniform—artists like Complete and Kobie Dee started repping the hoodie on stage and online.
Australia didn’t just buy into Trapstar. It adapted it.

. Melbourne’s Love Affair with Trapstar
Melbourne, with its alleyway fashion and monochrome aesthetic, was built for Trapstar.
Spots like Hosier Lane, Brunswick Street, and Fitzroy are now crawling with Trapstar fits—paired with cargos, baggy jeans, or vintage TNs. Local streetwear stores in Collingwood can’t keep Trapstar Hoodie in stock.
Why? Because Melbourne doesn’t just wear style. It curates it.
. Style Hacks That Break the Rules
Here’s where it gets interesting.
- In summer? Crop it. Literally. Gen Z in Gold Coast are snipping the hem for a DIY boxy look.
- Match your hoodie with clashing brands—a Trapstar top with Y-3 bottoms. Why? Because fashion loyalty is out. Personal energy is in.
Style shouldn’t be safe. It should be you.
. Why Brisbane’s Youth Won’t Let Go
In Brisbane, Trapstar is more than fashion—it’s armor.
Youth in Logan and South Bank use the hoodie to express identity. Street interviews show that for many, it’s less about the hype and more about how it feels to wear something fearless.
“You wear Trapstar when you’ve got something to say—without saying it,” one 19-year-old told us.
. Not Just a Hoodie: It’s a Statement
You’re not just buying cotton and thread. You’re buying into an attitude.
The Trapstar hoodie says:
- I’ve seen things.
- I’ve made it through.
- I’m still standing.
It’s grime with polish, attitude with elegance, loud with purpose. In a world of mass-produced, soulless fashion—Trapstar still speaks.
. Trapstar vs. the Rest in Australia
- Supreme = hype
- Carhartt = function
- Trapstar? Heart.
It blends London cool with Australian defiance, and no other brand feels quite as raw, yet refined. It’s aspirational but still rooted in realness.
. Cultural Data: Streetwear Trends 2025
Let’s get analytical.
According to Australian Streetwear Monitor 2025, Trapstar was:
- The #1 most photographed hoodie brand on TikTok AUS.
- Top 3 in resale growth (behind Stüssy & Corteiz).
- Most worn brand by local drill artists in 2025 performances.
Even Google Trends shows Trapstar spiking in Adelaide and Perth faster than older brands like Palace.
. Unisex Realness: Genderless Fit
Another win? It fits everyone.
Trapstar doesn’t push a “men’s” or “women’s” line. The hoodie just is. Boxy enough to wear oversized. Clean enough to layer smart. More Aussie creators and models are gravitating toward brands that don’t gender their clothes—and Trapstar nails that ethos.
It’s fluid fashion for a fluid world.
. From Daywear to Nightwear
You can wear Trapstar sunup to sundown.
- Daywear: Hoodie + cargos + Jordans.
- Nightwear: Hoodie + leather jacket + Chelsea boots.
In Darwin’s tropical heat, locals cut sleeves or wear over tanks. In Canberra’s colder season, it’s hoodie-under-puffer season.
The hoodie doesn’t change. You do.
. Why Artists & Creatives Wear It
From street dancers in Sydney’s Inner West to digital artists in Melbourne’s North, Trapstar is a creative badge.
Wearing it says:
- You think different.
- You see the city differently.
- You build culture, not just follow it.
It’s no accident that film students, rappers, graffiti writers, and DJs all adopt Trapstar. It reflects them.
