Streetwear fashion is a youthful casual style of dressing inspired by the sneaker culture and skateboarders of California and hipsters of New York. It emerged in the 1980s and has since developed into one of the most distinctive and iconic genres of clothing around today.
7 commonly seen clothing/accessories in streetwear fashion
1 T-shirts
Cannot imagine street style without them – The T-shirts may be Plain or Printed. The printed ones have vibrant coloured artwork, slogans, graffiti. Loose fitting or even baggy t-shirts or fitting t-shirts under jackets are included. Depending on the fashion, the t-shirts maybe short or can even go up to the knees as in longline t-shirt. Black, grey and white are the preferred colors
For girls, this translates to tank tops and even crop tops
2 Jeans
Dark blue raw denim jeans is a good start in bottom wear. Ripped jeans, jeans that have gone through many types of washes, etc are all included in street style.Those with lots of functional pockets are preferred.
A Skinny fit is a staple. The tapered style of jeans has been a favourite from the start of this fashion style and that has not changed
Denim jeans shorts with shredded/fringed edges are streetwear for girls.
3 Sweatpants/joggers
Dropped crotch baggy pants are what I see as popular now in this category. For girls, leggings will do, in place of sweatpants.
4 Casual Jackets
Fashion changes the style of jackets – Long jackets in wool are preferred but this may change today, tomorrow. Denim jackets and wool duster coats, leather jackets in casual fit are all good. Boys have their military style jackets which are cool and timeless. Bomber jackets, Biker jackets, all are streetwear cool.
5 Pullover Hoodies
This is one clothing that you cannot imagine being without in a streetwear wardrobe
For girls, this is boyfriend hoodies/sweatshirts.
6 Sneakers
Sneakers are the preferred footwear for this style and among them, white is the preferred colour
Ankle boots are another preference for footwear
7 Headwear
Beanies, Baseball caps (Dad hats), bandanas – streetwear takes them all
