What is Street Style
Street style can be defined as a specific fashion style which originated from British fashion culture. It is an inclusive approach to fashion and produces styles which bisect and differ from mainstream fashion norms.
How To Style It?
One of the important points to street style is to dress in layers. It is hard to know if buildings such as restaurants or book stores will be cool or warm. Therefore, light jackets and sweaters can be key for you to transition between warm and cool temperatures. This is also extremely useful at this time of the year, as the season is transitioning from hot to cold. So dressing in layers will ensure that you are comfortable everywhere.
Street style, in many areas, is sometimes also defined by the businesses that make up the economy of the city. For example, in Bucktown in Chicago, you’ll see men on the streets in colorful and widely varied attires. Here, you’ll fit in wearing a pair of brightly colored jeans paired with a silk-screened tee shirt over a button-down cotton shirt, and a brown leather jacket. You’ll also fit in wearing olive green chinos, white cotton fitted tee-shirt, a dark denim vest, and a Panama hat. Interesting right?
In a more business-oriented city, you’re may see street style reflecting a more office focused track. The essentials for this side of the street style include tie accessories and a leather messenger bag or zip-top briefcase. The bag is important, not only as an accessory but also as a utility. You can also use a backpack for a comfortable and hands-free movement.
Mixing patterns and textures is an amazing way to add personality to your outfit. Brave up to be able to wear that blazer from a pinstriped suit with a pair of white denim pants, or a windowpane suit with a striped button-up shirt and tie.
Street style primarily focuses on comfort and individuality.
