Street Style is chock-full of creative ideas, whether it’s a new way to wear your typically at-home PJs, a standout sneaker styling trick, or a T-shirt–and-dress combo. Street Style is all about you and your personal style. It is essentially an opportunity to use fashion as a tool to express yourself to the world around you without using words. Here are a few styling tips to inspire you to become the Street Style Star that’s within you.
1. Layer Up: The key to street styling glory is and always will be “the unexpected”. Whether it is wearing a knitted shirt over a sweater rather than under, or a simple detail like wearing underwear as outerwear. If this is a first for you, try something simple like a black bralette over a basic white t-shirt paired with jeans.
2. Suited Not Booted: One of the best parts of street style is the way it combines clothing and accessory styles from different walks of life. The business suit is my personal favorite. You can play with it in so many ways by just changing the silhouette. You can give it a 1980’s power shoulder or a slouchy, more masculine 1920’s androgynous style or even the 1990’s ultra-sexy fitted look.
3. Just Add a Belt: Belts are quite sadly hugely underrated, but here’s news for you all, a statement belt over any outfit can change any look from drabby to trendy. Try wearing your belt over a coat or even better wear it wrong. Instead of the usual belt around the waist, try a belt with a statement buckle work over one shoulder and under the other with the buckle meeting on your chest.
