What is streetwear? Clothing styles derived by skateboard, surf, hip hop, and retro 80s/90s sensibilities. Streetwear continues to evolve in modernity, but tends to be distinguishable as an urban style to the general public. Users here are welcome to show off their latest outfits and engage others in discussion about fashion expression. I'm new to streetwear, where should I start? Basics ($ = How expensive.) Budget basics [Low tier] $-$$ Uniqlo H&M American Apparel Zara Elwood [Mid Tier] $$-$$$ John Elliott Kith Classics Reigning Champ Carhatt WIP Adyn Wings and Horns High end [Top Tier] $$$-$$$$ Alexander Wang YEEZY Sandro Acne Nid De Guepes APC Fear Of God Tops: You should have a wide array of different kinds of shirts so your fits can be versatile and you aren't wearing the same shirt in all your fits. Pocket TeesButton-UpsLong SleevesShort SleevesCurved HemLong-Line Tee Bottoms: There are more than just bootcut jeans in life. Slim Fit Tapered JeansChinosWool pantsMilitia (Uniques from I Love Ugly brand) Raw Denim: “What Is Raw Denim? Rather, when is denim classified as "raw"? The answer to this question is amazingly simple. It all has to do with washing. Raw Denim is any denim that is untreated or unwashed and is therefore left in an unadulterated form. The opposite of this is pre-washed, pre-distressed, or treated denim. Below is an example to illustrate the difference.” Wearing raw denim can result in sickfades.

Layering can either be executed well or not so great. A few pieces to consider when layering are: Curved hem and Long Line: Seriously, layer your long stuff under your short stuff and your big stuff over your thin stuff, the point of the curved hem and longline tees are to hang lower than the rest of your tops and the top is hidden so the curv hangs out and acts as a sort of accent. A few combinations for layering are: Hoodie under coat/jacket Flannel over Hoodie long line tee/curved hem under a normal tee under a light jacket Layering can also apply to socks the picture here illustrates a pair of thin wool socks with the models pants tucked into them, when you combine thin fabrics it flows smoothly and is pleasing to the eye Inspo: What is the point of this thread?: The point of this thread is to welcome users to the streetwear fashion, and of course for enthusiasts to share their sets, their pick-ups, their grails, their favorite brands, and to share their inspo. We are also here to answer any questions, don't be afraid to ask anything at all!! Disclaimer: Not every brand is listed in here. E.g Jordans, Vans, Allstars, and many more. This doesn't mean they aren't streetwear. Streetwear is a fashion, if you don't follow said fashion, or any fashion at all, that is completely fine. Wear whatever you like, do you. If you don't wear what the people in this thread wear, that doesn't mean anything. Every opinion is welcome in this thread. If you think it's a waste to spend big on clothing, or if you don't like the fashion, that's fine! Ask as much as you'd like, as long as any posts aren't of bad-nature. |
