STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Stay Original!

June 15th, 2015 at 2:10am

As streetwear fashion starts to peak, there are more and more brands that are now on the rise. This is because of the limitless possibilities that they bring to the fashion industry, including colors, textures and patterns. Some people aren’t sure what their personal style actually is, but I look at streetwear as finding your own identity and knowing what works best for you.

Many brands that are based in other countries are inspired by streetwear fashion. This Fashionisto went with a Converse x Comme Des Garçon shoe, which is the focus of his outfit. This brand, founded by Rei Kawakubo, is based in Japan and is on the popular side among some of the other brands.

The signature heart logo on the side of the shoe is an original “cdg” design, while the off-white gives you a flexible color scheme to choose from. Pink is also a popular color this summer. Incorporating a pink shirt into an outfit like this one gives the look a softer vibe while allowing you to stand out. He went with a pair of black skinny jeans to balance out the lighter colors in his outfit. Depending on how the weather is outside, I always tend to balance my colors out without even noticing. Knowing which colors go best with what came naturally to me.

What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “You should wear whatever works best for you. There are so many things that you can do with streetwear so always stay original!”
