The "Hipster" Look

Everyone has a style they describe themselves as, whether it’s classy, preppy, bohemian, punk, etc. These styles are all very unique from one another and each styles have clothing that are very up to date in the fashion industry. But one new style trend has risen in our world known as the “hipster” look. It’s known that if you are dressed like a hipster your most likely in a beanie, a flannel, a cardigan, a pair of leggings, and some Birkenstocks to top off the outfit. The Hipster look mainly features that “I just woke up and put on some comfortable clothes, but still look somewhat put together” Stores that sell clothes that features the hipster look include Urban Outfitters, Brandy Melville, Free People, and more.

While I consider myself to have more of a classy/preppy look to my outfits, I have bought several “hipster” clothing items and have incorporated it into my closet. As I am currently writing this blog, I’m wearing a flannel with a cardigan on top and paired it with light wash jeans and some white converse, the classic Hipster look if you want to call it that. I love with these types of clothing! It’s very comfortable and the layered look is perfect for winter and fall. And if I don’t want to put to much effort into my outfit in the morning, it’s so easy just to put on a “hipster” look like a flannel and some combat boots and head out of the door.

What irks me in today’s society is that when someone wears a somewhat hipster outfit you get teased with comments like “Wow your so hipster today” or “Look at that hipster beanie” etc. I don’t understand that so many people discriminate others because they’re dressed in the hipster style. No one has been discriminated because they wore a Bohemian look or a classy look, but if you ever wear something hipster, you might get a “Why are you looking so hipster today?” It’s not necessarily a huge deal, but I just want to get across that everyone should appreciate all different styles of clothing. Fashion isn’t just one style that everyone should follow. It’s because so many people have different tastes in clothing and personalities that fashion now has so many styles you can take inspiration from. There isn’t one specific style that everyone must follow to look fashion forward and they defiantly isn’t one style that should be discriminated against because it’s not fashion forward. Everyone has a different sense of what they feel is in style and that’s what makes the fashion industry so unique. Everyone can contribute something different to it.
