Your Urban Street Style Lookbook

Street style or urban style was birthed, as the names suggest, from the cacophony of urban life. Unlike many other styles, this was not the result of designers dictating the fashion choices of the many, but the people of urban communities deciding what's hot, what sells, and what's to be shown off. Combining sports wear, athletic wear, military wear, and the influence of rap, rock, and hip hop music, resulted in a style that made quite the statement and influenced generations form the 80s, 90s, and beyond.

This style is known for mixing high and low pieces. Someone may be wearing a $900 bag with a $10 Haynes t-shirt or a $6,000 chain with a dress they bought at the corner store for $5. Blending the two often adds to the flavor of the outfit making it bit more complex than meets the eye. Above all though, with this style, as the name suggests, you're representing the streets where you grew up, the people you grew up with, the sports stars, and the music that flows through your veins, or as with any style choice, you simply like the aesthetic.
