Unique Japanese Streetwear Styles: Tokyo, Harajuku, and More

5 japanese streetwear outfits inspired by your favorite cities in japan .

If you’re anything like us, you’ve been dying to get your hand on a plane ticket to Japan the moment the border opens up. After all, it’s been nearly two years since tourists have been allowed to enter the country due to their strict Covid protocols and guidelines. We’re hoping that it’s the home stretch at this point, and we will all be allowed back into Japan by 2022. And if that is the case, we best come prepared with outfits to impress on this long overdue trip. Today, we’re going through some of our favorite cities in Japan, and our take on the best outfit choices for each place. If you need a refresher on   The Types of Asian Streetwear , particularly Japanese streetwear, you can check back on our previous blog post!

• Tokyo Streetwear

Shinjuku Streetwear

Okinawa streetwear.

• Sapporo Streetwear

Harajuku Streetwear

Tokyo streetwear .

It’s a no-brainer we have to start off with the most iconic city in all of Japan: Tokyo. It’s a modern bustling city that has endless sites to see. The options are nearly limitless as you get to enjoy all the luxuries of a city such as tourist attractions, amazing food, great views and more. When we think of Tokyo, the first thing that comes to our mind is the famous Tokyo station, which is riddled with all the hidden gems underground. We also think of the iconic Sky Tree, which we all know too well for anyone that watches anime. Fun fact, the Sky Tree also houses the One Piece theme park on selected floors! Either way, Tokyo is a hotspot for amazing Japanese life and a great place to start your trip. 

Because Tokyo is such a metropolitan area, outfits that have a bit of a professional and put-together aspect would be the best angle for your Japanese streetwear outfit. Choux polo cropped top is a great example of this, having elements of professionalism through its style, but fun and laid back enough with the cropped fit. Taiyaki pleather strap skirt would also be a great complement to this top as it maintains the same neutral color scheme and has both professional elements with its pencil skirt style and edgy elements through the criss-cross dangling straps.

If you didn’t know, Shinjuku is where the nightlife is in Japan. One of the most densely populated areas, it is also known as Japan’s red-light district. There is no shortage of things to do in Shinjuku, where bars, clubs, and restaurants seemingly have no end. While it has plenty to do during the day, we recommend making your way over to Shinjuku at night to experience Japanese nightlife the way it’s intended. 

Being in the center of the party scene, we recommend wearing Japanese streetwear that aligns more with party life. There’s nothing we love more than an all-black aesthetic, so you know our Japanese streetwear outfit will be exactly that. Starting with the top, the Meringue drop chain tube top  would be a statement piece if there ever was one. It’s fitted, flattering, and has all these metallic elements that really allow it to stand out. To accompany the top, the Kombu pleather zip shorts adds another element of edge to your Japanese streetwear outfit. The shorts unzips at the thigh to reveal optional dangling straps, which really makes the look. If you’re looking for more options for Japanese clubwear, don’t forget to check our post on the Top 5 Edgy Clubwear For Women .   

Off on the coast of Kyushu lies Okinawa, a place of subtropical climate that you won’t find back in the mainland of Japan. Some say Okinawa is like the Hawaii of Japan, and they’re not wrong! If you’re a fan of nature, wildlife, and all that good stuff, you’ll no doubt be a fan of Okinawa. The beaches are amazing, there are tons of hiking trails, underwater ruins to explore, and much more. It’s a place to wind down from society, turn off your phone, and just enjoy nature at its peak. 

Due to the beach-like nature of Okinawa, we’re going with full-on beach day attire for our choice of Japanese streetwear. The Vanilla oversized knitted sweater is going to be your go-to top when exploring Okinawa. It’s breezy enough to stay cool but warm enough for those windy beach days. It has an open off-shoulder cut, cropped front fit, and oversized fit which makes it the perfect beachwear. Pair it with some overalls for a casual beach day look. 

Sapporo Streetwear 

Best visited in February, Sapporo is known for its annual snow festival which is home to some of the most amazing snow sculptures in the world. Their winter theme attractions are plenty, attracting tourists to visit during the coldest time of the year! Besides snow and winter attractions, Sapporo is home to some of the best ramen and beer in Japan. If you’re in Japan during the winter, be sure to make your way up north and give Sapporo a visit. 

Due to the colder weather up north, we recommend bulkier and warmer Japanese streetwear when visiting. The Shoyu oversized cropped hoodie is a great choice to wear. It’s thick to withstand the cold but also an incredibly unique Japanese streetwear hoodie. The oversized hood and stacking straps on the arm make for a killer top. You can pair this with the Chardonnay oversized cargo pants to keep in line with the color scheme, but also to stay extremely cozy in this duo.   

Known as Japan’s fashion district, Harajuku is no stranger to outlandish designs. In the streets of Harajuku, you’ll likely run into several interesting characters as people love to get dressed up here and shop. Harajuku is one of the busiest places in Japan and is especially bustling during the day when people gather to buy clothes, designer items, and Japanese sweets. If you’re coming to Japan, don’t forget to check out Japanese fashion at its core in the heart of Harajuku.  

Our take for the perfect Japanese streetwear outfit in Harajuku is a matching top and skirt set that will surely stand out. The parfait striped top in pink and white gives off a casual varsity vibe. Matched together with the Sakura stripe slit skirt , the duo just works together so perfectly. This extra feminine but edgy Japanese streetwear set is sure to fit in with the Harajuku scene.

Now that you’re all set for your trip to Japan with the best Japanese streetwear, which place do you think you will hit up first?

Travel-Friendly Streetwear We're Shopping for Right Now

By Dan Q. Dao

With most of us still in quarantine, deciding what to wear each day is an ever-changing debate. Weeks (or months) of halfway changing out of pajamas and working in sweats has left us ready to wear normal clothes again—or at least move a step in that direction. The happy medium: streetwear. With easy-to-match pieces of clothing (you'll find a lot of neutrals here), athleisure staples, and versatile layers that can be easily dressed up or down, streetwear lets you show off a little personality without sacrificing comfort. That means it fits the bill for both work-from-home wear and airport- and vacation-friendly packing essentials. Below, 13 of the best new travel-friendly streetwear pieces—in both men’s and women’s styles—to wear during quarantine, and once you’re back on the road.

Warped is not your regular kind of streetwear store. In fact, the store is owned by a DJ who usually plays the latest hits in-store. Occasionally, some of his DJ buddies will set up and entertain shoppers with crazy beats. The best part about Warped is its vast selection. The mix of Korean and international labels like Thrasher and Have a Good Time make Warped a top address for streetwear fans in the city.

If there’s one thing the owners of Spelling take seriously, it’s value for money. The store offers an extensive variety of streetwear labels from all over the world, including local Korean brands. The best sellers, however, are the all-time favorites like Carhartt, Obey and Penfield.

The Best Streetwear Brands Prove the Term Is a Misnomer

By Avidan Grossman , Gerald Ortiz , and Reed Nelson

All products are independently selected by our editors. If you buy something, we may earn an affiliate commission.

What is a streetwear brand? If only we knew. " Streetwear ", a clunky catch-all term the fashion industry uses to bracket a vast spectrum of styles, has never been a comfortable descriptor. At best, it's reductive, flattening the nuances of a diverse cohort of brands into an easy rubric. At worst, it smacks of bigotry, a convenient way to dismiss the work of nonwhite or non-classically trained designers as lesser-than. Do streetwear brands sell hoodies and T-shirts ? Many of them do, but so do the hoariest of French maisons. Do streetwear brands sell suits and ties ? Sure, some of them far more compelling than their runway counterparts. Couldn't all of fashion, then—save for the most delicate of couture creations—plausibly be considered streetwear, at least in the most literal sense of the word? Yet here we are. Absent a better term, streetwear seems to have stuck—and despite the absurdity of the premise, the genre has never been more influential. Figures once on the bleeding edge of the scene are now some of the most prominent movers and shakers in the industry, and the concepts they pioneered have become the norm. Seasonal drops? Internet-breaking collaborations? Sky-high resale values? Countless hallmarks of the modern fashion industry have roots in the streetwear scene, even if fashion is loath to admit it. What do the brands on streetwear's vanguard have in common? Often a deeply-felt appreciation for subcultural style, and strong ties to fashion-centric cities like New York, London, and Tokyo. Their clothes are meant to be worn and worn hard , designed for the type of easy versatility favored by the artists and athletes that are menswear's foremost avatars. And no matter what you call them, it’s impossible to deny their prime of place in the fashion psyche. These are the 13 most important brands you should be familiar with, whether you’re on the cusp of signing up for your first raffle or simply refreshing your memory waiting on line before another big drop.

In 1991, Shawn Stussy, a California surfer with a distinct cursive scrawl, enlisted a young retail impresario named James Jebbia to help launch the New York branch of his fledgling skate brand. (A few years later, Jebbia would leave to open his own store, Supreme, just around the corner.) From the outset, Stüssy brought together a who's who of big-names from the world of fashion, music, and art. In its heyday, it pioneered a remarkably prescient form of cross-promotion, cultivating an international tribe of certified cool people to lend the brand an aura of cosmopolitan exclusivity. In the late aughts, the brand's appeal waned slightly, a casualty of over-expansion chasing the type of mass-market dominance that's anathema to loyal customers. But under the careful stewardship of an expert team of Stüssy enthusiasts, the brand is once again turning out clothing that feels exciting and undeniably cool, a compelling proposition that hasn't gone unnoticed— by us , or the new generation of customers flocking to its wares.

Before Supreme became the kind of company your try-hard cousin studies in business school, it was a small boutique on Lafayette Street quietly catering to an in-the-know crew of skaters, misfits, and downtown scenesters who appreciated the brand's sardonic designs and no-frills approach to retail. In the years since, the New York institution has solidified its place at the top of the fashion industry food chain, trading in on the type of can't-be-bought cool that makes marketing executives quiver with excitement. In the process, it helped birth modern streetwear as we know it, inspiring countless imitators and cultivating a powerful group of alumni that rival Ralph Lauren's in influence. It remains the quintessential streetwear brand through and through, a force to be reckoned with in the broader fashion industry and proof that it is possible to scale cool, as long as the cool you're hawking comes stamped with a Supreme logo.

A Bathing Ape

It's hard to overstate the stranglehold A Bathing Ape had on the culture in the late 2000s. Founded by the Japanese designer Nigo in 1993, Bape was popularized stateside by Pharrell (who would go on to co-found Billionaire Boys Club with Nigo a decade later) and eventually artists like Lil Wayne, then at the peak of a legendary mixtape blitz. On red carpets and in music videos Bape's splashy camo designs became pervasive, proof of hip-hop's nascent power to make or break a brand through association alone. But as demand for Bape's zip-up hoodies and shark tees skyrocketed, the brand expanded into product categories at a rapid clip, saturating the market with new products until the buzz gradually died down. By all indications, though, Bape's stock is once again on the rise. Its Bapestas—a candy-colored riff on Nike's Air Force 1—pop up regularly on the feet of today's influencer class, and just this month Nigo debuted his first collection as artistic director of Kenzo , a long-overdue nod of recognition for a designer who remains one of his genre's most influential.

To call Palace the British answer to Supreme wouldn't be entirely accurate, though they share a certain kindred spirit. (Supreme was one of the first retailers to stock the younger label in the US.) It'd be more accurate to dub Palace an inheritor of Supreme's stylistic mantle, a clothing label founded on a lark by a ragtag group of lads nostalgic for a certain era of skateboarding. Today Palace boasts an ardent following all its own, a global fanbase it keeps entertained with madcap product descriptions—still fired off by co-founder Lev Tanju himself—and zany, just-weird-enough collaborations. The other things they have in common? An instantly recognizable logo—in Palace's case, a three-dimensional triangle known as the Triferg—and the uncanny ability to sell hundreds of thousands of units in a matter of seconds.

It took husband and wife duo Brendon Babenzien and Estelle Bailey-Babenzien years to refine the idea that would become Noah , the brand the two re-launched in earnest in 2015. Prior to that, Babenzien spent over a decade designing for Supreme, but he wears his status as a grizzled veteran of the scene lightly. At Noah, the two speak to a certain type of customer Babenzien knows from his last position: a guy who couldn't care less about the resale value of a graphic tee but wanders into Supreme once a month to eye the brand's stellar knits or buy a pair of jeans. (Last year, Babenzien was tapped to revitalize J.Crew's flailing menswear division by bringing a similar guy into its stores.) Noah specializes in precisely the type of elegant "streetwear" that makes the term feel so redundant—walk into its Mulberry shop and you're just as likely to walk out with a striped crewneck as you are an Italian-made double-breasted suit. You could call it grown-up clothing for repentant skate rats, but it's really just grown-up clothing, period.

Aimé Leon Dore

Is Aimé Leon Dore the hottest brand in New York? The throngs of customers queued up outside its Nolita store would say so. Ditto the various well-wishers and hanger-ons who regularly stop by to pay their respects to Teddy Santis, the press-shy Queens native who transformed his penchant for peppy, '90s-indebted designs into a powerhouse force at the nexus of the New American Sportswear . (As of last year, LVMH is a minority owner.) For a generation of fashion-adjacent customers weaned on Supreme, ALD's wares are the logical next frontier. In the brand's deft styling, a fair isle sweater vest looks just as approachable as a fleece, and a corduroy suit—perhaps made in collaboration with the natty Brits at Drake's, or the venerable Brooklyn tailor Martin Greenfield—looks like a viable alternative to a bomber. Consider the gauntlet thrown.

In a little over a decade, Ronnie Fieg remade the retail landscape in his image, fundamentally changing how and where young streetwear obsessives shop. What started out as a side-hustle tweaking lesser-known Asics silhouettes gradually evolved into a sprawling empire with a global presence, and a private label collection that does numbers as big as any of the designer brands it hangs out with. Today Kith operates in a tier entirely its own, a thriving ecosystem comprised of storefronts, pop-up shops, and a full-blown restaurant, all of which serve to burnish its image as one of the most influential stockists in the world.

Like Teddy Santis and Ronnie Fieg, Angelo Baque is a Queens native who grew up immersed in the world of downtown sneaker and skate culture. And like Brendon Babenzien, Baque put in time at Supreme, spending a decade honing his perspective as its brand director before pivoting to dedicate his time to Awake and a growing roster of solo projects. Informed by his experiences at Supreme but not defined by them, Awake is an organic byproduct of Baque's wide-ranging references. In any given collection, fuzzy mohair cardigans and nubby overcoats coexist peacefully with trippy graphic tees and kooky embroidered jackets—a unique alchemy that increasingly looks like the future of menswear writ large.

Fucking Awesome

Fucking Awesome , the Jason Dill -helmed brand that's been around in one form or another for nearly two decades, doesn't need to prove its skateboarding bona fides. Which might be way Dill and co. often look outside the sport for inspiration, pulling from a range of deep cuts to craft slightly bizarro menswear that makes it seem like they're having way more fun than just about everyone else. Any brand named Fucking Awesome is morally obligated to be a good time, but FA takes that mandate seriously. Interested in a pair of lime green pleated cords? How about an iridescent, fleece-lined coaches jacket? Or a button-up with a large creepy-crawly zig-zagging its way up the front? If FA's rising star—and plum placement in hyper-discerning stockists like Dover Street Market—is any indication, we're not the only ones buying.

It'd be easy to dismiss Golf Wang , the clothing line founded by Tyler, the Creator in 2011, as another slapdash celebrity cash-grab. But that's not the way Tyler— our most stylish man of 2021 —operates. T's an aesthete through and through, and as his personal style's evolved Golf Wang has grown with him, blossoming into an impressive line of cheerful, easy-wearing essentials done up with a deceptive degree of finesse. (Late last year, he also debuted a capsule collection under his Golf le Fleur umbrella, a separate, standalone line priced in accordance with his high-flying ambitions.) Tyler became one of the most influential forces in modern menswear by refusing to compromise on his taste, and Golf Wang remains a reliable way of checking in on one of this era's defining connoisseurs—bonus points if you scoop a pastel-colored trucker hat while you're at it.

Brain Dead doesn't have a billion dollars in backing or the imprimatur of a famous founder. But in a little over five years the brand has leapfrogged much of the competition, landing firmly at the top of the streetwear hierarchy. Founder Kyle Ng still describes Brain Dead as a creative collective of sorts, but the brand is primarily in the business of selling menswear, and very good menswear at that. Customers flock to Brain Dead for its loopy graphics and squiggly prints—the artist formerly known as Kanye West was an early fan—but squint a little and the workwear-inspired silhouettes look comfortingly familiar. Last year, the brand raised half a million dollars for charities aiding the Black Lives Matter movement , a testament to its values and its ability to corral the community in the name of the greater good. That's real influence, the type impossible to measure on a P&L statement, and it's what separates Brain Dead from the rest of the pack.

Back in 2005, the loose collective of skaters behind the Dimestore Crew was mostly focused on making videos and curating vibes, as all skate collectives should. After a few years, though, the Montreal-based group expanded their remit to include a limited run of T-shirts, shortening their name to Dime in the process. By 2011, Dime had slowly evolved into something closer to a fully-fledged brand, and comparisons to Supreme and Palace started shortly after. Those comparisons had less to do with the output itself and more to do with a shared appreciation for the hallmarks of skate style, but in the years since, Dime has made them look like prophecy, introducing its own hero products and occasional wild swings—all of it steeped in the ethos it cultivated as a ragtag collective.

In the streetwear universe, Nigo is a legendary figure: co-founder of A Bathing Ape (alongside the objectively well-named SK8THING) and the pioneering boutique called Nowhere (alongside Hiroshi Fujiwara of Fragment Design). Born Tomoaki Nagao, the Kenzo artistic director has been a fulcrum of the scene for longer than some of his customers have been alive. And for good reason—today, his oeuvre still inspires the household names that followed in his footsteps, and the collection of pop culture ephemera he's accrued as a testament to it would keep the auctioneers at Sotheby’s busy for decades. Human Made, his post-Bape project, is far more pared-down than its predecessor but no less forward-looking, with a focus on menswear classics that feel retro and futuristic all at once.

December 26, 2022 18 min read 2 Comments

Sometimes modern and futuristic, sometimes retro or vintage, there is only one thing that is constant with streetwear , and that is the fact that it provides the perfect balance between style and comfort. After being sidelined from the international fashion scene, it is now a winner in the ready-to-wear world, winning best sellers year after year. How is it possible to follow trends without losing momentum? For the major streetwear brands, the answer is no longer a secret: trusting young talents who target the heart of the street ; a formula that has duly proven itself. More than a style of clothing, streetwear is an identity . Knowing how to wear it is proudly displaying your values. It is said that not everyone has what it takes to be an urban style, but the reality is quite different. It is only by fully immersing yourself in this culture that you can wear it at its best. By discovering our series of foolproof tips, you'll become the most street-wise person on your team.

Get ready to take notes, because we're about to share with you everything you need to know to master streetwear style . By the end of this article, you'll be unstoppable when it comes to this fashion and its latest trends, and you'll be able to put together your own looks with your eyes closed.

The origins of streetwear: where does it come from ?

Before we get to the heart of the matter, a reminder of the origin of streetwear is in order! The world famous style that is modern streetwear has been patient to know its good days. A few years ago, it was just born in the working class neighborhoods, evolving in the shadow of 90's hip-hop . It would have been hard to believe that this urban creation would one day be exhibited in the biggest fashion shows, and that it would have so much notoriety in the industry.

Streetwear was presented as casual wear, consisting of sportswear or casual wear. Unlike the hip-hop genre, whose prices were becoming less and less accessible to the general public, this new fashion was available to all at competitive prices , which explains its wide diffusion in record time. The origins of streetwear can be traced back to the 80's when Shawn Stüssy, owner of a surf store, started printing t-shirts. Gradually, these designs were developed by other independents, and the style was adopted by skate lovers. From there, it was propelled everywhere, welcomed with open arms by young people who identified it as an urban , modern and current style.

A few years later, several brands joined the movement and added their own touch to this emerging fashion. The creation of A Bathing Ape , the famous Japanese streetwear brand, marked the beginning of the globalization of the trend. The advent of Supreme  was another major turning point for the style . The events they organized contributed to the growth of the community, and welded the bonds of its members.

The evolution of streetwear: from street to fashion week

What started as an urban movement became an artistic revolution . It was inconceivable at the time to include streetwear in high fashion. However, against all odds, celebrities have popularized this style on social networks, and have brought a chic, aesthetic and social dimension to it.

Big designers and luxury brands were quick to jump on the bandwagon. Iconic streetwear collections from Gucci , Louis Vuitton and Balenciaga launched streetwear on the runway and gave it a platform of its own. It competes with other fashion trends and has been growing ever since. Once the avalanche was unleashed, nothing could stand in its way. The evolution of streetwear continues to this day. The slice of young adults and teenagers around the world make it the hottest trend of the moment.

Luxury streetwear

At the height of its popularity, urban fashion reached its peak, what we call luxury streetwear . It goes without saying that once branded by the big brands, the movement would experience a radical sophistication. In the hands of renowned designers, streetwear would get to know noble materials , and its designs would be studied by professionals. Streetwear has always had enough substance, but for the first time, its potential was to be fully exploited.

The contribution of the big brands is undeniable, as they gave him a breath of fresh air at the most opportune moment. Without that, who knows if he would have stayed on top for so long? This little boost has also encouraged small companies to launch into its creation, which are now among the references in urban fashion.

The characteristics of streetwear

True to its solid foundation, streetwear has thrived by integrating new values into its core. Influences from the music, sports and military worlds have shaped its principles, enriching the movement for the better. Combined with some vintage elements, it gains a retro feel that gives it a more mature look. Thus, designers incorporate endless sources of inspiration, projecting urban fashion in all directions .

The limits of streetwear become blurred, and sometimes blend with other clothing styles. Nevertheless, the characteristics of streetwear remain unchanged . In two words, streetwear is a style :

• Casual : Men's fashion has long been condemned to the classic blouse suit. The streetwear revolution is undeniable, it has opened the way for relaxed looks to luxury clothing brands. Today, you can dress relaxed and still be fashionable, and that's largely due to this wave of change.
• Modern : Streetwear clothes project us into the future! Everything about their design inspires modernity and innovatio n. The avant-garde ideas that we find in urban fashion are different from others by their ingenuity, but also by their convenience. They are new concepts that we can easily accept, and that we can easily imagine ourselves wearing every day..
• Practical : The primum movens of streetwear is not to sacrifice comfort to be fashionable . Far from high heels and tight corsets, their designs fit the body harmoniously, allow great amplitude of movement, and do not limit your activities in any way..
• Inclusive : Streetwear is at the crossroads of many cultural trends . This diversity gives everyone the opportunity to join this movement, and to contribute with their interests. The Gaming community and the Otakus, for example, are among the biggest fans of streetwear. We dedicate them their own collections and clothing lines.
• Subversive : The essence of urban fashion lies in the defiance of pre-established rules. There is a constant testing of boundaries, trying new concepts and innovations. Unisex clothing, protection of minorities and provocative attitudes prove that streetwear is a progressive trend that defends honorable causes.

Japanese streetwear vs. Western streetwear

In the course of its progression, streetwear has undergone a bifurcation that has given birth to two distinct trends: Western streetwear and Japanese streetwear . Although they have the same basic principles, and share common values, they have taken different directions.

Tokyo is considered the capital of Asian urban fashion . Countless renowned designers and emerging brands have established themselves here. Undercover , F-LAGSTU-F , NEIGHBORHOOD  and many others dominate the scene and have gained international recognition. Overall, Japanese streetwear has more character. Its designs are bolder and a little intimidating, but undeniably refined. In terms of quality and innovation, they win hands down. With them, urban fashion is elevated to the rank of lifestyle, and is part of the daily life of fashion lovers. American streetwear, on the other hand, is raw, more square and in its own way also very extravagant. Still largely influenced by hip-hop , it is closer to it than the Asian genre since they have the same origins, and practically the same path. Influenced by branding, it is very focused on big brand names and logos, some will even go as far as to say that they like too much to "make a sensation"..

In any case, there are always differing opinions on this subject, but each has its own charm. The most important thing is to learn to appreciate the advantages of each, and to respect the preferences of others.

The essential pieces to master the streetwear style

Let's go back to our main subject. Know that a total streetwear look, it is to be taken care of! Fresh pumps, fashionable clothes and killer accessories : everything has to fit the urban free spirit theme. To do this, you need to have the streetwear essentials from which you can assemble your outfits. Where to start? While you're out shopping, make sure to check out each of these items on your shopping list :

The sweatshirt and the hoodie: the duo of shock

Classics that we never tire of. Wide, comfortable and urban, they are an integral part of streetwear collections. Unlike other pieces, they give you a wide margin of originality , enough to really make your identity appear. And don't forget that they cover you, in Autumn as well as in Winter, so you can look good while staying cosy and warm.

 In short, a sweatshirt goes very well, whatever the occasion, especially if you find rare gems. If you're in doubt between vintage, print and basic : get them all! They're bound to come in handy sooner or later, so why deprive yourself? Like many, you'll love them, and it won't be long before you become a real collector. Get ready for them to take over your closet, but know that it's worth it: with an irresistible sweater or hoodie, you can't go wrong !

 With us, you'll find some real nuggets. Embroidered drawings, punchlines and parodied expressions, motifs and cult images; we bet everything on originality and aesthetics. Don't hesitate to go there if that's what you're looking for.

The t-shirt, the basis of streetwear

Another all-purpose that we validate... but under conditions. First of all, the choice of a t-shirt depends entirely on the overall design you are considering : it balances a too busy outfit, or brings a touch of madness to a too simple look.

Regardless of that, you should know that not all t-shirts are street-compatible. The first rule is to always opt for an oversized cut large enough. Then, the aesthetics of the t-shirt must be scrutinized. Colors, patterns, and fonts must complement each other harmoniously so that the final result is flattering. Finally, you must dare to do something different, a model that has that little extra that will differentiate you from others, your own signature. As for hoodies and sweatshirts, we get you the best streetwear t-shirts of the moment . If you're looking for original pieces, we've got you covered with our streetwear t-shirts. Perfect for standing out from the crowd, each of them is loaded with implicit references to urban culture. In these cold times, our long sleeve t-shirts are exactly what you need. Simple, yet stylish, they can be paired with almost anything.

The sneakers: the most important element !

When it comes to shoes, sneakers are a must have . They fit perfectly in the urban footwear box. It is no secret that they are practically the centerpiece of the streetwear style , hence the importance we give them.

 When choosing a good pair, quality and originality are the watchwords. It is better to take sure values, even if it means investing in a limited number of sneakers. We do not treat sneakers dedicated to sport and those with purely aesthetic purpose on an equal footing.

In any case, sneakers are never lost. Even if you want to change your style or go to a formal look, they can give you a youthful touch that is not too much . Of course, they are not the only shoes allowed in streetwear. You can occasionally swap them for a pair of heels, or sandals in the summer. That said, as a general rule, sneakers are much more interesting ! 

Jogging, the great must-have

Sporty and casual, the jogging suit is the king of athleisure , and the number one urban fashion pant. If they are a favorite, it's because they combine the useful with the pleasant. Between absolute comfort and various cuts, we can put it on for any occasion and with any outfit.

 The only constraint is to know how to bring value to the jogging suit, and not to confuse the models intended for lounging around the house, and those that you can wear at night. Luckily for you, there are high-end jogging suits that are specially designed for elegant styles . By the way, we invite you to take a look at our jogging suits. Modern and stylish, they'll go great with the rest of your streetwear outfit.  

The famous cargo pants

The youngest of the military pants, they are a success with streetwear lovers. Revisited by the great designers, the new models of cargo pants have a modern and neat look . Presented in two cuts, "wide" and "carrot", you can vary the bottoms for a wardrobe more furnished, and more adapted to your morphology.

The advantage with the cargo pants is its versatility and practicality. Initially designed for techno styles, they are now paired with all casual looks. We've even seen them mature and make their way into more formal styles, with which they go wonderfully. Can't find pants to your liking? The streetwear cargo pants in our collection have everything you need. From classic military cargo pants to colorful modern styles, their designs are sure to charm you.

Caps, the ultimate streetwear accessory

We've got all the pieces you need to pull together your 100% streetwear style : let's not lose track of things while we're so close to the goal. Urban fashion means accessorizing, and the least you can add is a cap, but not just any cap. The streetwear cap you need is the snapback. This very popular model is characterized by its flat visor and its back tab, details that make it stand out even more.

For everyday style, you can also turn to the curved peaked cap . Timeless and versatile, it's discreet and unobtrusive. If you have minimalist tendencies, we highly recommend the docker hat , the find of the season. Long appreciated by the skateboarding community, it makes its debut with force in streetwear.

Which jacket for a streetwear style ?

A pertinent and very recurrent question! After getting everything right, most don't know which jacket to choose for winter street style . In reality, there is no shortage of options when you know what types to target

Typically, you have three choices :  

• Windbreaker jackets: revisited by streetwear lovers, these models are best suited for urban or workwear looks. The materials chosen in their conception are such that no breeze will reach you, and bring moreover a contemporary techno aspect to your outfit. In the most sober tones, they exude seriousness and mystery, a perfect mix for winter..
• Down jackets: they don't look like much, but down jackets can be your new streetwear companion. They come in all colors, and you can even find them with urban patterns. Next time you go shopping, before you disparage down jackets, try them on and see how they look !
• Denim jackets: nothing like a classic to combine streetwear and retro ! As a second layering piece, or on their own in warmer weather, they're the perfect way to add substance to your ensemble. The modern varieties of the denim jacket keep the textile sturdy, but make it shine in a whole new light. If you want to see how it looks, check out our denim jackets.

Mastering your streetwear style: 10 essential tips

After immersing yourself in the world of streetwear , and getting fully immersed in this concept, it's time to try urban fashion yourself. That said, we can't let you do it alone, first we have to teach you the rules of streetwear . Now that you've got what you need to shape your look , all we have to do is get you on the right track, and the rest will fall into place. Avoiding common mistakes, choosing your clothes carefully and building your style are basics that will serve you well later on. Mastering streetwear style doesn't happen overnight, but with our 10 tips, you'll find it easier to develop your fashion sense .

1. Goal N° 1 : Find the best sneakers

The streetwear school is very clear on this: shoes make your fortune or your ruin! We can't stress enough the importance of a good pair of sneakers to achieve an urban look. Of course, you'll have to pay a lot of money, but they're worth the price.

Your shoes are your signature. Right now, sneakers are the best footwear option to complete your outfit , and they go with almost everything; including dresses, denim looks and halfway between casual and classic. There is no way to make a mistake with them, and no need to worry about their profitability: they are timeless and you can revisit them endlessly. Obviously, you can only master the streetwear style once you've found the right shoe. The list is long, but here are the sneaker brands that we think are the most interesting. Nike is one of the brands that is dedicated to solving your quest for the perfect shoes. Their collections are more iconic than the others, worn by the biggest sports and fashion celebrities. They are pioneers in urban footwear , and there is something for everyone. Their wide range of Air Max , Air Jordan and trainers are breathtaking. Another sure bet is the Yeezy franchise from Adidas , the ultimate in athleisure. With their muted tones and futuristic designs, they have it all. Let's not forget the great brands like Balenciaga , or the classic Converses that you absolutely must have !

2. Choose quality clothing

Just because you opt for a casual style, doesn't mean that the quality of the clothes is to be neglected . In fact, the opposite is true, low-end products are considered an unforgivable lapse in taste in streetwear. Not to mention that the fabric must be breathable and comfortable, which is not always the case with cheap items. All in all, choosing quality items is good for you. On the one hand, you're investing in pieces that are guaranteed to last, and on the other hand, you'll have the chance to show off the best product lines. You might be wondering, but how do you recognize good quality clothing? Here are three indicators that never lie :

• You can tell a good job by the nature of the fabrics used , so you should focus on this point when renewing your wardrobe. The richness of the materials makes the difference between a failed outfit and a chic and neat look. For this reason, we recommend you to trust only the serious manufacturers who use good textile.
• The complexity of the design says a lot about the work put into a piece. Garments with embroidered parts, for example, require the most application. As for printed fabrics, the best designs are obvious. On the other hand, it will be difficult at first glance to analyze screen printed t-shirts, so you will have to refer once again to the reputation of the brand
• Obviously, the quality of the finishes is a major criterion of choice. Beyond the stitching finishes, which are very important in themselves, you'll need to pay attention to the slight additives that show the tons of thought that the designers have behind them. As we so often say, it's the little details that make the difference.

3. Wide... but in moderation

From the very beginning of streetwear, the oversize trend has been attached to it, so much so that it has become almost inseparable from it. However, beware of those who succumb to the temptation to go overboard, because "the top" may turn into a radical "flop". Don't have fun testing the limits of loose clothing until it loses all meaning, instead, try to find the ideal point or sweet spot that highlights your morphology.

The balance between flared top and slim bottom allows you to fit your figure while maintaining the relaxed effect. The opposite is also very popular with women, where crop tops and wide pants are very good . The proportion game must be clever enough to win the urban effect without drowning you in extra-large clothes. Otherwise, it's useless !

4. Know your limits !

More than a fashion style, streetwear is an everyday form of artistic expression . By putting your outfits together, you can let your imagination run wild and try as many things as you want. But here's the thing: you don't want to overdo it either! If everything you wear is eye-catching, people will be confused and you'll lose the excitement of your outfit. The structuring of your look must admit a window of creativity, and build around it to bring it forward.

On the other hand, the choice of your outfit must be put in its context. The magazine look that is idolized on social networks is not necessarily adapted to your daily life. Except for big events or occasional outings, we doubt you'll have the opportunity to show off such extravagant outfits. That's not to say that streetwear isn't appropriate for the workplace , or that it doesn't belong in more serious places: it just needs to be handled that way. Workwear, a hybrid style between casual and classic, allows more freedom for streetwear lovers within the workplace. Sometimes the less you do, the better. Currently, minimalist trends are very popular in streetwear. Entire brands are devoted to it, we cite the example of Comme Des Garçons, which makes it its trademark. Sobriety is making its way into urban fashion, and sows new values, providing very catchy combinations.

5. Layering

One of the fundamental principles of streetwear is to create variations on several layers , it's called Layering . It sounds like a simple technique, but it's a bit tricky to do. A lot of people try it, but most of them throw in the towel because the final result leaves something to be desired.

However, the visual result is very attractive when you know how to do it. To avoid looking like kindergarteners in winter, here are some practical tips on how to proceed :

• Start with the thinner layers on the inside and use more substantial clothing on the outside. The logical thinking would be to layer a t-shirt, then a hoodie, and finish with a windbreaker or jacket.
• Create a color scheme to contrast each layer. You can even choose different shades of the same color, as long as you enrich the outfit with other tones so that it is not too monotonous. For a beginner, we don't recommend playing around with black, because it's quite tricky to master at first.
• The whole point of layering is to layer, so you'll need to work out how to make each layer look. There are two options: either open/unzip your jackets , or structure longer inner layers so that they are visible underneath the outer ones .

Little by little, you will improve your game and develop your layering skills to perfection.

6. Branding and streetwear: still relevant in 2021 ?

Displaying the logos of the luxury brands you wear used to be the gold standard in street style. The logomania trend dominated the streetwear scene for many years: we used to see only the emblems of Supreme, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton on our Instagram feeds. Since then, things have changed, and the situation has reversed. There is a wave of silent streetwear where logos are very inconspicuous, or even omitted from creations. We do not know how long this new fashion will last, but it is already very successful, and could announce a new era.

For the moment, what to do when you want to incorporate clothing with logo in your collection? Our advice would already be to be satisfied with only one logo at a time instead of saturating your outfit with it as it was customary. Then, staying true to your brand is also a strong point, because it allows you to integrate it into your routine, and make it part of your imprint. Lastly, it is better to avoid voluminous logos that are too apparent , and prefer those that are discreet and hardly noticeable.

7. Finding your own touch

Individuality is a highly valued trait in streetwear. Originality and creativity are encouraged within the community, everyone is accepted, and diversity is preached at all levels. As a newcomer, the best way to make your mark in urban fashion is through accessorizing. Nothing too busy, but just enough to perfect an already worked base. Hats, pendants, watches, belts and bags help you avoid the trap of looking too simplistic..

Marrying styles is also a guarantee of singularity. A vintage, classic, sporty or artsy detail is always welcome. Through these little things, you will be recognizable among thousands and you will gradually make your way in the streetwear world. You should know that all the greatest artists and designers have been there. You have to start somewhere before you are completely satisfied with your progress.

8. Exploring the visible spectrum

The idea that streetwear is poor in color is absolutely false. On the contrary, there is no lack of choice in this respect. Between neutral, pastel and bright colors , the palette is rich and varied. Therefore, it is a major element during the design of your outfits.

The fashion faux pas that should be avoided at all costs is wearing too many flashy colors in the same outfit. If an element has a very attractive color, it should always be neutralized by the rest . Conversely, a look that has too many monotonous colors is boring, and should be revived with a pinch of madness: a scarf, a denim jacket, sneakers rich in color; anything that comes to mind! Other than that, anything goes. We just advise you to match the colors well , and to make sure that everything is homogeneous and works well together. Otherwise: you have carte blanche !

9. Feeling good about yourself

As we saw above, streetwear means comfort, hence the breathable material and loose fit that comes with it. Feeling comfortable in what you wear is the secret to a carefree, fresh and modern look. Unlike other clothing styles, clutter is not recommended . Each item must find its place and fill a need, otherwise it is not validated. That's how you'll manage to represent the thirst for freedom instilled by the urban fashion gurus.

10. Staying true to yourself!

At the end of the day, streetwear is just a means of expression. There are no clear and unbreakable rules, only recommendations to guide you in your learning. The most important thing is to identify yourself with what you wear , and to bring out your emotions.

Let your preferences guide you, and see where it takes you! Don't be afraid to try the less predictable mixes, because that's how you'll get started and explore your tastes: see what you like, what you don't like. After all, most trends are fleeting, it's only the basics that count. Rather choose what you want, even if it's not fashionable, than blindly following trends that you don't really like .

Recap: How to master streetwear style ?

• Find the best sneakers
• Choose original and quality clothing
• Oversize... but in moderation
• Be consistent with your personality 
• Understanding layering
• Avoiding an overabundance of brand logos
• Add your own touch
• Matching colors
• Feeling comfortable in your clothes
• Staying yourself!

Here we are at the end of our article! We hope that our few tips will help you to find your bearings, to have your bearings, and to succeed in your first steps in streetwear . If you don't manage to assimilate everything at once, don't worry, it's quite normal! You have to practice to fully assimilate each point. We invite you to re-read it every time you have difficulties, or when you are looking for new ideas to revive your look . Once you have the basics, and feel comfortable enough, you can embark on your creative journey. The details you add to your outfit should reflect your personality, preferences and taste.

I’ll be staying in New York for a month this July, so I want to shop for urban streetwear I can wear there before I leave for my trip. It was helpful when you informed us that the oversize trend has been attached to streetwear from the start, so I’m grateful you recommended wearing a flared top and slim bottom to achieve the oversize relaxed effect. I’ll keep this idea in mind while I look for where I can shop for urban streetwear later. https://miacustom.shop
