When it comes to finding dope swag you have to be able to dig through every nook and cranny, go through every crook and castle just to find the treasures of a culture based on exclusivity and refined taste. It’s not easy to rock streetwear; you have to know where to look and how to put outfits together. Not to mention getting lost among an already saturated climate of graphic T-shirts, styled sweats and outdone kicks. Thankfully that’s not the case with this Fashionisto.
If you need some pointers on how to properly pull off the streetwear aesthetic look no further. It’s all about a delicate balance between what you wear and how you wear it. Take, for example, the uneven shirt collar or the layered long sleeve sweatshirt. It’s clear that this Fashionisto doesn’t fit in the boundaries; but when you wear things that no one has and listen to underground trap, you don’t have to. Because streetwear found its origins on the margin, the only way to pull it off is with a nonchalant vanguard attitude. In streetwear, if you don’t fit in, it’s because you don’t have to.
On top, this Fashionisto sports a classic Carhartt beanie emblematic of the current trendsetting work wear company yet again. Carhartt has proven its worth and prowess among street culture’s twists and turns for quite some time now and doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. Meaningfully delivered minimal design is what this Palace T-shirt is all about. It’s subtle in all the right ways while giving way to the Lamar and Dauley sweatshirt underneath. The blue color tones follow through in the sweatpants as well, also by Lamar and Dauley. Finally, this look is cleaned off with a nice touch by the Nike Air Tech Challenge 2’s, which carry their own legacy in the world of kicks. Check out some other swanky kicks here.
The subtly that surrounds this outfit is what brings it to attention among us street style enthusiasts. By employing a strong white and blue color combination with hints of red and orange, which offer their complements to otherwise muted color tones, there is a well-mannered sense of style. This outfit doesn’t look like its trying too hard, and yet still manages to come through with a balanced consistency of streetwear products and cool sensibility.
