Hipster Fashionista
Everyone, especially the young
people nowadays seem comfort with the hipster style and always try to
up-to-date with hipster latest fashion and trend. Hipster trend is not somehing
new but actually this subculture already began since 1940s and evolved over
time to leave us with the hipster of today. However, hipster on that time was
not merely about appearances or interest but it was more than that. The hipster
group in the 1940s was known as the group that against any sign of normalcy. They
did not believe in the traditional cycle of job, family life, social life or anything
else done by majority.
Although the concept of hipster
today and 1940s still same but the modern hipster is heavily focused on fashion
and appearances rather than community building. Hipster is defined as the
people who enjoy clothing, music, food and activities that considered being
outside of the social and culture mainstream. Usually hipsters seamlessly mix
and match different clothing pieces from vintage shops, thrift stores, or
up-and-coming designers as well as make their own pieces to express their own
individual fashion sense and style.
I found a few tips from wikiHow website about how to be in
hipster fashion.
1.
Dress like hipster (the way you dressing
up are different from others and avoid buying labeled gear. Instead look for
independent retailers as far as you can.)
2.
Wear skinny jeans, especially of bright colors
or patterns
3.
Wear glasses
4.
Dress vintage
5.
Find suitable footwear
6.
Accessorize
7.
Mismatch and laye
I believe that fashion is part of
art and identity too. Everybody has different idea and interest. The concept of
beauty also not same for everyone. Some people would think hipster style looks
nice while some other might think otherwise. It doesn’t matter what style do
you prefer as long as you feel comfort and that style looks nice on you. Don’t
be afraid to express yourself through fashion because your appearances are
patterned by your creativity. It is no wrong to be a fashionista but don’t let
yourself carried away by fashion and become a fashion victim.
“Don’t be into trends. Don’t make
fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the
way you dress and the way to live.”
