How to Dress Like a Hipster.
Geek chic combined with retro irony, a hipster's outfit is the definition of "calculated cool."
Here's how to get the look.
You will need Worn-in shirts Fitted tees Skinny jeans and pants Shoes Accessories Cardigan
or blazer (optional) and male jeggings (optional).
Step 1.
Sport a worn-in button-down shirt.
Avoid boxy, formal fits -- opt for slim cuts and lightweight fabrics instead.
Remember, you're trying to dress like a hipster -- not Donald Trump.
Wear a cardigan or blazer -- the more it looks like you hijacked it from your grandparents'
closet, the better.
Step 2.
Rock a plain, fitted T-shirt or find one with a retro logo or design -- movies, TV shows,
bands, and video games are all hipster-worthy.
Stick with references you actually know -- there's nothing worse than a fellow hipster calling
you out on being a poseur.
Step 3.
If you want to dress like a hipster, adhere to the 2-word hipster pants principle: "Skinny.
Fit."
For added flare, go with acid washes and day-glow neon colors that'll make the other hipsters
don their Ray-Bans in awe.
Men, if you're truly brave of heart (and groin) try squeezing into a pair of male jeggings,
aka majeggings.
Step 4.
Slip into hipster kicks like throwback sneakers, deck shoes, or chukka boots.
Ladies, if elevation is a must, choose wedges, ankle boots, or schoolmarm kitten heels -- stilettos
are about as hipster as non-reusable shopping bags.
Step 5.
Dress like a hipster with the right accessories: knit caps, suspenders, vintage jewelry, messenger
bags, and non-prescription "Buddy Holly" glasses are all fine choices.
Now, strut the streets and make all those non-hipsters wish they were half as cool as
you.
Did you know The word "hipster" was used in the 1940s as an equivalent term to "hepcat"
-- meaning a stylish or fashionable person.
