The highly provocative Dancehall style of dress goes hand in hand with the music of the same name. Women are seen strutting their stuff in very revealing glittery garb in many a Shaggy video.

Seen as a liberating to Jamaican women, rebelling against the grey poverty of the ghetto, Dancehall clothes are extremely colourful, while at the same time rather skimpy.

Outfits are designed to attract attention, and together with the provocative dance style that accompanies the fashion, they do this very successfully.

Dancehall style is now a major influence on hip hop and rap music. You only need listen to Foxy Brown, L'il Kim and Missy Elliott.
