Feeling the wrong costume at the coffee shop in your area? Wondering if you're styled like a hipster or not? Planning a vacation to Bali in the near future? Or are you just looking for a stylish alternative in dressing up? While being a hypter is harder than just being stylish, this article will help you dress up like a real hipster.
Step
Method 1 of 3: Be a Hipster Girl
Step 1. Unpack your mom's closet and look for vintage clothes
If you pay attention, vintage clothes are trending. Everyone seems to be wearing it everywhere. To make your appearance more original, shop at vintage shops, second hand goods, or dismantle the closets of your family and relatives. If you're lucky, you might even get a t-shirt with The Doors' Reading Rainbow printed on them while they were teenagers!
Trending shirts are small ones – you can cut the bottom into a crop top – to match with a tank top, or large ones so you can pair them with the high-waisted trousers you got at a garage sale. But if you're lucky enough to get a Davy Jone t-shirt from your aunt and it's the right size for you, keep it and wear it
Step 2. Scarves can not only warm the neck, but are also one of the hipster's mainstay accessories
The good news is that scarves can be used with ANYTHING. Wear a tank top? Add a scarf! Wearing a wedding dress? Shawl! Hot weather? Shawl.
Learn the different ways to wrap a scarf. When in doubt, wrap it around your neck once. No matter how it looks, the important thing is that you feel comfortable and that your neck is warm. (Hipsters don't care what other people think of them.)
Step 3. Wear a floral dress
But, just like the shirt you have, the dress you choose must also be from an earlier era. Floral, vintage, and old-school motifs are the right choice. The more florals, the better.
- If you find a dress that is too big or looks too old-fashioned for the sleeves to be cut off, don't hesitate to add a light-colored bra and headband. Seriously, just try it!
- It's too cold to wear a dress? Just add wool stockings. If wool, patterned, and light-colored stockings can't improve your look, then nothing can. Plain black thick stockings worn with thick socks can also be an option.
Step 4. Discard all boot cut and cutbray jeans
Yes, we know you've had those jeans for a long time, but now it's time for trending skinny jeans. Skinny jeans everywhere! No need for anything else.
Have an unused pair of jeans? Cut and make shorts. If the model is high-waisted or looks like your mother's, the better. Feel free to cut it as short as you want. Looks tattered with holes is also not a problem, as long as the material is jeans
Step 5. Add accessories
Seriously, wear as much and mix as you like. Don't hesitate, especially if you get grandmother's lacy choker necklace.
What may seem excessive to others, may become standard for you. Oversized flower head accessory? All right. Light colored hair clips? Why not?
Step 6. Blend your previous make-up style
If you've been through a fan phase with Hello Kitty, N*SYNC, emo, preppy, flannel, and grunge, just mix up the accessories from all of those phases, and voila! Instant hipster.
Seriously, hipster style is all about the mix and match of cultures and trends. Hipster style can look ugly if one really thinks about it. So, make the most of your closet
Step 7. When it comes to footwear, wear anything other than high heels and sandals
Loafers, boots, sneakers, all cool. Flat shoes are also very hipster you know!
Make sure it doesn't look like new. If you've just bought a pair of Converse shoes, make them as small as possible so that they seem relatable while you hang out at Foucault's Café
Method 2 of 3: Being a Hispter Guy
Step 1. Put on your little sister's jeans
The tighter the trousers you wear, the better.
Step 2. Make sure the size fits from the waist to the ankle
In other words, tight and tight!
Step 3. Please reminisce
Anything that reminds you of when you were 5 years old is in your closet. Make sure everything is vintage. If there are clothes with logo images, make sure that the brand logo is no longer there at this time.
Size doesn't matter. Sizes that are loose and tight are actually trendy
Step 4. Pretend minus eyes
Choose thick-rimmed glasses and black.
To be more unique, choose a vintage model of glasses, or a colorful Ray Bans output. Ray Bans glasses never go wrong
Step 5. Look half formal and half party dress up
In the girls section earlier, you know that mix and match is part of the hipster style of dressing up. Likewise with you, mix style and era of dress. For example, wear an Armani blazer, a Ninja Turtle t-shirt, a knitted and plaid scarf, tight jeans, and a pair of old penny loafers. With this make-up, no one knows if you're going to a job interview or going to a bar on a bike.
Don't be shy about wearing a crowd motif. Plaid, gingham, paisley - or other motifs. Got a plain tweed jacket and a striped cowboy t-shirt? Use together
Step 6. Wear layers
If the weather is favorable, layered clothes can be very comfortable. Cardigans can be worn with anything. Likewise with sweaters, long sleeves. Wearing T-shirts, scarves and long coats? Why not?
Step 7. Prepare the Converse shoes
Everyone seems to have this one shoe. But if your shoes are not new and look shiny, it's better to replace them with something else.
Doc Martens could be the right choice. Boots, old Reeboks, Keds, and other vintage shoes will do too. As long as it's not sandals
Step 8. Choose a sling bag
Try searching on Google "Hipster messenger bags". You will be amazed by the results. The sling bag seems to have been considered a hispter bag. It's a bit uncreative, but this bag is a great choice for carrying all your everyday gear.
Maybe there will be people who ask about the "murse" (Man purse) you are wearing. No problem. You can use your "murse" to retaliate for being narrow-minded
Method 3 of 3: Become a Unisex Hipster
Step 1. Avoid things that other people use a lot
For example, big and well-known brands. This is important for two reasons, it can block your personality from radiating and you will also appear anti-mainstream.. Buy clothes at stores like Buffalo Exchange. If you don't want second hand stuff, look for a store that sells new but vintage-style clothes.
Do you live in a small town where it's hard to find thrift stores? Okay, if you have to shop at Urban Outfitters or H&M, at least you're not the only hipster
Step 2. Buy a "fit" sized t-shirt
For the hipster girl, "fit" means one or two sizes larger, while for the hipster guy, "fit" means one that is tighter or smaller than usual.
The definition of sexy in hipster fashion is the opposite of the usual. Loose pants like baggy are acceptable. It's about irony, open body silhouette
Step 3. Always wear jeans
Except for the jeans skirt. Jeans tights are a must for both girls and boys. The pants can be in a variety of motifs and colors, such as flowers or bright colors. If you are lazy to wear trousers, wear jeans shorts. For girls, the length can be free, but for boys, it should be above the knee..
- Girls can also wear loose boyfriend jeans. If it is too long, cut 1-2 times the hem.
- Denim jackets and shirts can also complete your hipster fashion collection. If you can, vary it by making a jeans vest.
Step 4. Hipster girls can also combine sweater hoodies with anything
Don't hesitate to mix and match!
It's better if you can combine it with a fedora hat, blazer, or patterned feminine dress
Step 5. Wear old clothes
There's no point in being eco-friendly and vegetarian if you can't apply the concept of reusing old clothes. Before throwing it away, make sure the clothes can still be recycled or not. Think about how it can still be used.
There is no need to keep them in the same form. You can make one sweater into a glove, or wrap a sitting lamp, book cover, or pillowcase. DIY can make you more original
Step 6. Get ready for the cold weather
Make sure you can keep your body warm but don't lose your hypter look. Here are some ideas that can be used:
- Wear a flannel shirt. Choose a large size with a free color according to taste. It doesn't have to match the other accessories you use.
- Buy one or two cardigans. Many shops sell, for example Gap. Choose a cardigan that has buttons with a V collar. If available, choose 1-2 sizes larger than usual.
- Buy sweaters with 'old' patterns like flowers, cats, or Christmas trees. The more whimsical the motif, the more unique your total hipster look will be.
- Warm your head with a grunge-style gray beanie. If you want, choose a light color, for example orange.
Step 7. Play with colors
The merrier and rainbow-like, the better. It can be an interesting photo if you take it with an analog camera at Brooklyn's Union Hall.
Neon, neon, neon. Colored pants, shoes, accessories, neon Ray Bans can catch the eye! Regular colors can also be used, but they are less flashy when compared to neon colors
Step 8. Wear accessories
Don't worry if it doesn't match. Use whatever you have, mix colors and materials. Large pendants, with hair bands, flower hair clips, or earrings can attract attention. Accessories from fur can also be tried.
- Leather accessories can also be used. Try pairing a leather bag with a leather vest and belt.
- Buy a cotton or linen scarf. Choose a pattern. Keffiyeh is also popular, although it is a bit controversial because it is associated with a certain religion. To be safe, choose a gingham motif.
- Decorate your head. If it's not too hot, use a beanie, a straw fedora.
Step 9. Look for inspiration from other hispter fashion styles
You will immediately recognize them from the way they dress. If the people in your city aren't inspiring enough, here are some icons to emulate:
- thesatorialist.com, stockholmstreetstyle.feber.se, lookbook.nu, and cobrasnake.com can be used as a guide in dressing up.
- Check out television series like "Girls," "Bored to Death," or "Portlandia" for inspiration. Your favorite musician's fashion style can also be an example!
- Try searching for "hipster clothes" on google. Who knows there is a style you can apply.
