Easy Ways To Look Hip, Without Being A Hipster..

August 13th 2013 28on27's Easy Ways to look hip without being a hipster.. ..Hipsters. They seem to be everywhere because, well, they are. Or, at least their style is. Of course, the true hipster is about more than mere fashion. It's an attitude that tends to be a little rebellious, place high value on individualism, leans toward liberal politics and is big into indie rock/art. However, you don't have to change your socio-political views to take advantage of hipster style. Here are a few basic tips for looking hip without being a hipster. GUYS & GALS But first, a word about gender. When it comes to hipster fashion, the rules are almost identical for guys and girls. Seriously, there is very little differentiation. In fact, hipster hair styles tend to be intentionally androgynous. Regardless of whether or not you're rocking a Y chromosome, the following tips are equally applicable.. THINK SKINNY We're not talking diet—we're talking cut. As in, skinny jeans, tapered shirts and thin ties. Your entire ensemble doesn't have to be form-fitting, but it's good to have at least one article of clothing that fits slim, and there are lots of options. Rare, novelty/vintage t-shirts are a great option, as are skinny jeans or, for the ladies, leggings. Bonus points if you can work a pair of Converse into your outfit. THINK VINTAGE Vintage is in right now in a big way. The more vintage (meaning older and rare), the better. Not only is it acceptable to hit the thrift stores searching out a unique style, it's advised. And don't forget the option of raiding your parents' (or grandparents') closets. The good news is that you can expand your wardrobe on the cheap. Yes, there are plenty of name-brand labels catering to the hipster style right now, but you can just as easily enhance your look by shopping at your local Goodwill. THINK PERSONAL In many ways, creating an individual look is the essence of hipster style. Whether that means altering your clothes with a personal touch—adding a couple of stylish rips to your jeans, for example—or accenting a jacket with a home-made pin, feel free to make your look yours. Unapologetic, slightly quirky individualism is cool. Above all, have fun. There are few hard rules when it comes to hipster fashion, so embrace a look that is stylish while remaining comfortable and personal. Make it yours. — LATEST NEWS & EVENTS — Cup of Joe anyone?
