Aesthetic and stylistic codes are always changing and evolving. What we liked yesterday is now boring, and what we found strange yesterday is now making its way into our wardrobes. That’s how it’s been for as long as we can remember, and it looks like that’s the way it’ll always be. While some rules remain universal in other areas, the field of streetwear is one of the most open to experimentation. It’s not just what you wear and what you don’t that changes, it’s also our conception of how and when certain garments can be worn. Fashion is experiencing a paradigm shift that’s reached even the most popular celebrities. Otherwise, how could we have ever imagined seeing a famous Hollywood star walking down the red carpet wearing a tuxedo and
sneakers? This is definitely one of the main effects of streetwear fashion, which has made its way into all possible settings.
The Keys to a Streetwear Look A while ago, we would probably never have imagined that the athleisure look would become a day-to-day staple, but today it’s a wardrobe must-have. Leaving the house in a tracksuit if you’re not going to the gym? Yes. Going to work in a sweatshirt? That too! Wearing a suit with sneakers? No fear – all in!
The general lines of today’s streetwear are more or less set: oversize fits, black and white combos with bold contrasting tones, some prints reminiscent of '90s designs, cargo style, sweatshirts, paneled designs, anorak-style jackets, cotton T-shirts,
caps, crossbody bags,
long socks…
If diving headfirst into the trend feels a bit much, you can always find a middle ground: blend two styles and go with the classic idea that there’s beauty in the mix. Pair your
jeans with a crew neck sweatshirt and some sneakers; wear your
sweatpants with a basic T-shirt and an open overshirt; throw on some cargo pants with a hoodie.
The best part? If you think streetwear is just for the younger crowd, think again — style has no age limit, and staying on trend can be a great way to feel refreshed. Combine, mix up different pieces and embrace the streetwear trend all the way.
