Hipster! Lately everybody seems to talk about the hype “Hipsters“. But what are hipsters and how is their style defined? There are a few things on what you can recognize them:

First of all, hipster love to wear vintage or grungy clothes also called the “grunge look“. Their style looks unintentionally cool and casual. They seem to buy a lot garments from flea markets and in second hand shops. Following that, they combine them with hip designer pieces. The keyword is “layering“. Hipsters tend to wear many different layers on top of each other, often completely mixed through no matter which color, cut or print the garment has. Therefore they want to express their apathy and indifference. This is why ironic quotes or slogans, comic figures and graphic designs are often printed on T-shirts. Some of the most common “hipster” garments are worn leather or sports jackets, the army parka or shirts with suspenders. Actually, there are shirts in all kinds of styles, no matter if it is plain colored, flower printed or the typical lumberjack checked one. Especially, really tight clothes like super skinny jeans, fitted shirts with V-neck, tight pullovers and hoodies are often seen. Men prefer to roll up their trouser legs and combine it with funky colorful socks. There are a few labels which are very popular with hipsters like H&M, ASOS, Forever21, American Apparel or Urban Outfitters.

Besides, they top off their look with visible tattoos and piercings, hats like trucker caps or beanies, leather bracelets, necklaces with cross pendants or other accessories like huge headphones to listen to music or just wear them as an eye catcher around the neck. Often their wear oversized glasses with unusual and colorful design. People who don’t need glasses wear pieces made of mirror glass. The Wayfarer model from Ray Ban is one of the most popular sunglasses. Also worn shoes should not be forgotten. All Stars from Converse or Stan Smith from Adidas could work which reminds me… they might be too mainstream. Oh! …and I just realized I almost forgot the most important accessory: The hipster jute bag! Most of them have at least one in their wardrobe and of course it also printed with ironic slogans and graphic designs like, for example, the hipster triangles!

Basically they live an “Out-Of-Bed Look” which is even intensified by the popular designer stubble – a three-day beard.
