I am counting down the days until spring arrives. I can’t wait to pack up my winter boots, jackets, and scarves. While spring doesn’t usually necessitate tank tops and flip flops, I do enjoy wearing beautiful pastel colored short sleeved shirts at this time. To stay warm during the cool spring mornings and nights, I often slip on a colorful sweater over my short sleeved blouse. Sweaters are a great way to bridge the gap in your wardrobe between the cold winter months and the hot summer months. If you currently don’t own any spring sweaters, now is a great time to stock up on them. On this blog, you will learn how to find the perfect sweaters to match your spring shirts. Enjoy!
If you are someone who is looking to elevate your overall level of fashion, you might be considering street wear from a place like Infinite Society as a possible avenue to truly express yourself. Street wear tends to be more casual, with an emphasis on brands and how different pieces work together, rather than on the trends of the time. Here are some tips for rocking the street wear look while you slowly build up your collection of genuine pieces.
1. Look for Parody Pieces
Street wear is anti trend and when a brand gets big, it becomes trendy. You might still want to buy that brand but you can't afford it right now. Consider going with a parody version of that brand, which is a popular clothing type. Look for intentional misspellings or clothing that mimics the brand that you would like to purchase, rather than the brand itself. Getting obvious bootlegs can also help solidify your street wear cred because bootlegs are currently in style.
2. Use the Internet
Reddit has a street style message board that you can follow. Pinterest also has a number of street wear pins that you can look at. You can follow celebrities whose street wear style you would like to emulate, such as Kanye West. This will help you create a personal style that you can put together without buying the luxury brands. Part of the problem with getting into street wear is that you might not know what counts as street wear and what kinds of clothing you should start with at first. Using the inspiration you can find on the Internet will help you get over this hump and be much more successful.
3. Watch for Drop Times
When you are ready to start building up your collection, look for drop times for the latest collections from the retailers themselves. Buying from the retailers themselves will allow you to get the best possible price, without any middle man markup. It will also ensure that you are able to get some of the limited quantity collection that the brand is putting out, which will automatically elevate your style since it decreases the chances that other people will be wearing that same thing.
For more information, talk to your favorite street wear brand. They will be happy to help get you started. And keep these tips in mind as you begin your journey.
