What hipster girls look like. What are the characteristic features of this style? Pants and leggings

You see her sitting near the window in a trendy cafe, writing poetry and sipping black coffee. Or in line at the coolest underground club. Or walking around the city center with a cigarette. She is what is now called a "hipster", although she won't admit it, and you want to be like her. To find out how to do this, just calmly follow the next steps.

Steps

Create your own look

    Adopt the “just got out of bed” look. The main aspect of hipster style is the ability to look like you rolled out of bed in style and pulled on the first thing you found. Although, In fact, you don’t do this, but you need to try to make it look as if you didn’t spend hours choosing the perfect outfit for yourself, but just put on the first one that came to you - even if this is far from the case. Here are a few ways to look like you just rolled out of bed:

    • Don't spend hours styling your hair or it will be obvious how much effort you put into looking good.
    • Don't take too long to remove your makeup; again, it will look like you're worrying too much about your appearance.
    • Don't spend too much time trying to perfectly match the pieces in your outfit - the colors should work together, but you don't have to look too slick and neat.
    • Don't wear too many things that obviously look new.
  1. Shop like a hipster. If you want to buy things like a real hipster, you should not overuse expensive and pretentious boutiques. But if you really want to look like a hipster, go through your mom's (or grandma's!) old wardrobe. You can find real treasures at garage sales or thrift stores to create the perfect hipster look.

    • Many hipster girls have an unusual sense of style, looking more like tomboys than ordinary beauties.
    • You can even go to vintage stores and find simple clothes that are so uncool that they can be considered cool again.
    • You can also rip, rip, or sew patches on unfashionable items to give them a touch of style.
    • Do you have a whole bunch of useless clothes that you haven't worn in years and they're just collecting dust in your closet? In that case, you can still salvage some clothes and make them cool and retro again.
  2. Invest in some basic wardrobe items. While hipsters certainly don't have a specific "uniform," there are some items that should be in your closet. Only with their help can you turn into a hipster. Try these:

    • T-shirts with graphics.
    • Skinny jeans. They can be made from dark, light or regular denim.
    • "Hunting" plaid button-down shirts.
    • For shoes, wear TOMS, lace-up sneakers or vans, or ballet flats.
    • Among the accessories, it is necessary to note various baubles, long and wide necklaces or short, sophisticated neck jewelry. Large rings will also work. The most common hipster accessory is a pair of thick-rimmed sunglasses.
  3. Buy clothes that are sold in connection with charity. If you're the kind of hipster who buys clothes to help the community, check out clothing lines like TOMS, Sevenly, or Common Threads.

    Work on your makeup. Makeup is not necessary, but if you want to wear it, stick to neutral, natural trends. The clearer the skin, the better! Don't overdo it with foundation, and apply a little pink blush on your cheeks. Choose natural tones for shadows and use moderation. Stay away from shiny and bright makeup. A clear lip balm is what you need! And if you're going to paint your nails, use soft pink, blue, basic black or clear polish.

  4. Get a new hairstyle. Cut your hair in uneven lines or individual strands, or grow it very long. Try several options: a messy hairstyle, a loose side braid, a ballerina bun, bohemian curls or perfectly straight hair. If you feel confident enough, shave half your head like some celebrities. Try asymmetrical haircuts (one side is longer). It is important that people express doubts about your appearance, but secretly admire it.

    • Bangs are popular among hipster girls.

    We achieve a relationship

    1. Never call yourself a hipster. Hipsters come in all shapes and forms and they all want to be unique and cool. Never in the world call yourself a hipster, otherwise you risk looking like a poser. If someone asks you if you are a hipster, answer no. Or walk away and act like you don't know what they're talking about. Or pretend to be embarrassed and change the subject.

      • You might even roll your eyes or get angry if someone calls you a hipster.
    2. Avoid the mainstream like the plague. If you really want to be a hipster, you have to reject pop culture and try to find your own, more independent interests. That means playing bocce ball with your friends at the park instead of watching the Super Bowl on TV, learning to make tahini instead of going to fast food, and never Don't listen to popular radio stations.

      • Even if you secretly love Lady Gaga, Beyonce, or Britney Spears (OMG!), don't talk about it in public.
      • Most hipsters are committed to eco-friendly and healthy lifestyles, so no more trips to McDonald's and pizzerias - no matter how much you want it.
    3. Pretend you don't care. Even if you're upset because your friend hurt your feelings, or you're excited because the cute guy in your class with thick glasses has a crush on you, learn to manage your emotions. The most you can show is a slight smile or a raised eyebrow. There's no need to be unfriendly, but don't wave your arms, cry in public, or hug like crazy.

      • For a hipster, everything is “normal” or “nothing wrong” - your range of emotions should not be wide.
      • Rolling your eyes, looking at the floor, or leisurely checking your phone is a great way to look like you don't care.
      • And try not to snort with laughter, no matter how funny you find it - a quick smile, chuckle, or just the words “that's funny” is enough.
    4. Go heavy on the sarcasm. If you want to become a true hipster, learn not to take everything at face value. Use winning and dark sarcasm, even to express basic ideas. If it's raining heavily, say, "It's time to go for a run" in a calm tone that will make people laugh or at least smile. Be sarcastic towards your boyfriend and any guys, even if they try to ask you out.

      • If you use your sarcasm skills correctly, you will charm and delight people. The main thing is not to overdo it, or everyone will think that you Nothing don't take it seriously.

    Where to get inspiration

    1. Find yourself a hipster role model. Take a closer look at such hipster girls as Corey Kennedy, Willa Holland, Leigh Lezark, Agyness Deyn, Peaches and Pixie Geldof, the Jagger girls, Alice Dellal, Dree Hemingway and Erin Wasson. Find your favorite idol and follow her trends - from clothes to hangouts and dinners.

      • If your close friend is a hipster, observe what she wears, reads and listens to - but don't make it too obvious. Hipsters don't like to be worshiped.
    2. Get inspired by hipster websites. Go to fashion websites and choose the style that appeals to you the most. While not every style on these sites is hipster-friendly, you can wear whatever outfits you like. Try to find the clothes you need (or an idea of ​​what you need) on these sites:

      • garancedore.fr.en
      • thesatorialist.com
      • stockholmstreetstyle.feber.se
      • lookbook.nu
      • cobrasnake.com
    3. Get inspired by magazines and books. Browsing through some cool magazines and books will help you decide on your own style. Subscribe to a few magazines and pick up a couple of fashion books to get a better understanding of the style you want to create. Try searching for what you need in the following magazines and books:

      • Magazines: NYLON, Dazed & Confused, Elle, Paper, POP! magazine and British Vogue
      • Books: Three books from NYLON magazine, Pretty, Street, and Play, and Misshapes, a book by a DJ trio about what to wear to nightclubs.
    4. Get creative. Many hipsters are truly talented or at least have a creative streak. If you don't already have a creative interest, you need to find something you enjoy - photography, drawing, writing, or playing a musical instrument. Whatever you choose, meet experts in this field.

      • Do you like photography? Explore the work of famous contemporary photographers - Ryan McGinley, Desh Snow and Ellen von Unwerth.
      • If you like writing, read the classics and try to understand poetry. You can explore the work of Jack Kerouac, Ken Casey, Sylvia Plath, J.D. Salinger, Haruki Murakami, Chuck Palahniuk, Bret Easton Ellis, Dave Eggers, William S. Burroughs, Allen Ginsberg, and Chuck Klosterman.
      • If you're into art, check out the works of Jogia O'Keefe, Alice Neel, Pablo Picasso and Andy Warhol.
    5. Music can also be an inspiration. Listening to independent, underground and even classical music is a big part of being a hipster. Hipsters can't only listen to what's popular, but must recognize cool music with the potential to become trendy, and when it becomes so, forget about it. You can't just listen to music on a Walkman or iPod - to be a true hipster, you have to attend concerts - in the basement of a tiny cafe or on a larger (but not too big) stage. Here are a few groups you need to check out to get on the hipster girl bandwagon:

      • Daft Punk
      • Justice
      • Grizzly Bear
      • Ratattat
      • Yeah Yeah Yeahs
      • The xx
      • The Vaccines
      • Bring Me The Horizon
      • The Kooks
      • Animal Collective
      • Bright Eyes
      • Deathcab for Cutie
      • Vampire Weekend
      • Minus the Bear
    6. Watch hipster movies and TV shows. If you want to learn how to be a hipster, you not only need to familiarize yourself with fashion trends and music, but you also need to be aware of how hipsters act in movies and TV shows. And never call films "cinema" - it's not hipster. Here are some movies and shows you should check out:

      • Hipster films of the last decade: "500 Days of Summer", "Garden Country", "Valentine", "Juno", "The Family Tenebown", "Little Miss Sunshine", "Amelie", "Tiny Furniture", "Lars and the Real Girl" , "Drive", "On the Road", "Greenberg".
      • Earlier hipster films: Glitter, Reality Bites, Clerks, Hit and Scream, Withnail and I, The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
      • TV series: "Girls", "Portlandia", "Workaholics", "Kill Boredom"
    • Don't call yourself a hipster.
    • Stay calm in any situation!!
    • Try herbal teas, organic bath products, snack on sushi and make your own vegan soup. You will find that it tastes much better than the convenience food from the supermarket. Look for recipes for Carrot Coriander Soup and Potato Soup.
    • Google hipster fashion photos and start developing your own style.
    • Be confident in your hipster-ness.

Look through your mom's closet to find vintage pieces. Ha, that's the same as saying:<<сходите в любой магазин, где отовариваются молодые взрослые>>. Haven't you noticed the fashion for pseudo-vintage items yet?<<везде>>? But to be more, as they say, authentic, go to vintage stores, second-hand stores, or ask your relatives to look through their junk closets. Surely someone has an old rainbow T-shirt lying around in a box from when they were 12 years old.

  • The T-shirt should be either too small or too big. But if by some miracle you find a Davy Jones T-shirt in your aunt's old wardrobe and it fits, then wear it - Davy Jones is worth it.

Keep your neck and all your hipsterdom warm by wrapping yourself in a large scarf or shawl. The good news is that scarves look good with any outfit. ANY. Are you wearing a T-shirt? Scarf. Wedding Dress? Scarf. Is it +35 C outside? Scarf. Even Kanye West doesn't take off his scarf. Now you understand how cool you are.

  • Learn to tie a scarf/shawl in a dozen different ways. If you don't know how, then just casually drape it around your neck once. You don't really care what the scarf looks like, you just like the comfort it gives your neck, right?
  • Find a floral dress. Sometimes you probably like a light breeze blowing<<туда>>, isn't it? Dresses can be comfortable. But just like a T-shirt, dresses should smell like a different era. Old-fashioned floral dresses are just the thing. The more flowers, the better.

    • You found a dress that is too big for your purposes or too conservative with sleeves that are too long and need to be cut off. Go for it, neon bras and headbands were invented for exactly this reason. No kidding. Look on the Internet.
    • Is it too cold to wear a dress? Excuses! Have you heard of wool tights? Woolen, patterned, neon tights? If they don't solve the problem, nothing will. Simple black tights under voluminous woolen socks are another good look.
  • Throw away all your jeans for boots and bell-bottoms. We know that you have several pairs of them. You've been buying only them since 10 years, except for 2006, when skinny jeans appeared for a moment, and they were quickly replaced by flares from the other side of the disco Spectrum. After that strange year, you're once again stuck with the safety of straight-leg jeans. It's okay - we've all been through it. But now, it's time to get rid of them. Just skinny and nothing else. Ankles don't have to breathe!

    • Your favorite jeans don't fit the hipster code? Make them into shorts. The higher the waist and the more it looks like you borrowed them from your mom, the better. And when we say cut short, we mean short. And the more casually, the better.
  • Wear a bunch of accessories on yourself. That's right, take everything you have and put it on yourself. Do you happen to have a tribal wooden bracelet, your grandmother's ruby ​​necklace, and a lace collar? Great. Exactly what is needed. The main thing is to combine the incompatible.

    • What is outrageous for some is commonplace for you. A huge flower right on top of your head? Why not? A flashy, huge neon yellow hair clip? ...Exactly what is needed.
  • Mix up trends from the past. Since you were 12, you've gone through (in order) a Hello Kitty phase, an N*SYNC phase, an emo phase, a preppy phase, a flannel phase, a grunge phase, and now you've gotten here. Great - now take one item from each bow and combine them into one. Voila! And you are a hipster. Like 2+2.

    • Seriously. The essence of hipster fashion is a mismatch of styles and a clash of cultures in nonsense - if you really need to put a label on it here. The main mistake of a bad hipster is that he thinks too long about what to wear; if you are careless in your wardrobe, you will fit.
  • Wear anything except flip-flops and heels. This is probably the only rule for approaching shoes. If you're not wearing flip-flops or heels, you're fine. Loafers, cowboy boots, sneakers are great choices. Hipsters love ballet flats! Who knew that something as innocent as ballet flats would become very hipster?

    • The main thing is that the shoes do not look too new. If you have just returned from the store with brand new sneakers<<конверсами>>(you are an original cutie), give them a good rub. These babies need to be carried around a little before being taken out into public.

    For the hipster

    1. Wear your sister's jeans. In all seriousness. If you fit into them, tighten them. And the tighter they are, the better. They should be tight from the scrotum to the ankles. And don’t worry that you won’t remove them later, that’s not the point at all.

      But what you should be wary of is hanging sides over the waistband of your jeans. They should fit very well and be tight from top to bottom. In other words - don't forget to wear briefs - tight underpants!

      Feel nostalgic. Anything that reminds you of being five years old should be in your wardrobe. And everything that reminds your father of his age of five, too. If the item is vintage, then there is a place for it in the closet. Your wardrobe should only contain brands from companies that no longer exist. Except, of course, American Apparel.

      • Things don't have to fit. More on this later, but if the thing is small or large, cool! Size should be the last criterion by which you choose clothes.
    2. Pretend you have bad eyesight. If you want your hipster meter to go wild, wear big, thick black framed glasses. If you want to make the hipster meter explode, then wear black thick frame glasses without lenses. Well, at least you'll always know your ears are in the right place.

      • This style is starting to become outdated, so try to stand out, for example, with provocatively bright Ray Bans frames. Ray Bans are always in fashion.
    3. Half business, half weekend. If you've read the girls' chapter, you already know that combining mismatched styles is an important part of a hipster's look. Just as you combine styles from different times, combine different levels and statuses. The TNMT tee makes layering with an Armani blazer appropriate, layer a plaid knit scarf on top, skinny jeans and a pair of distressed loafers underneath. Is he going to a job interview, to a bar, or for a bike ride? Nobody will ever know.

      • Don't be shy about provocatively bright prints. Plaid, plaid, paisley, colorful things - anything that will make a girl reading Cosmo scream in horror - you are on the right track. Do you have a checkered tweed jacket and a striped cowboy shirt in your closet? They are clearly suited to each other.
    4. Layers. Weather permitting, layering in combination (as discussed earlier) is a great idea. Cardigans can be worn over anything, just a note. Sweaters, long sleeves - it all exudes irony. A scarf over a T-shirt and a raincoat? Ofcourse, why not?

    5. Before you buy<<конверсы>>, think about it. Let's be honest: everyone who is not too lazy wears Converse. There is no irony, hipsterism or protest left in them. All they talk about:<<Посмотрите, я был в магазине Converse и потратил почти 3000 рублей на кеды, и мне абсолютно наплевать, как я выгляжу>>. So unless your sneakers are 15 years old or handmade to your feet, try something else.

      • Dr. Martens is a good start. Cowboy boots, old Reeboks, Keds, and vintage loafers will also work. Just ditch the flip-flops.
    6. Carry a courier bag over your shoulder. Google it<<Курьерская сумка хипстера>> and be surprised. This horror is called<<сумками хипстера>>. Here, as usual, the society did not show much originality, but what you bought for was what you sold for: to carry everything you own with you, you need a courier bag.

      • Someone might notice your bag - and ask where your bag is, hipster men's bags (murse) are now gaining momentum. Well, let him ask, but you have both hands free to poke him in the eye for being so narrow-minded and ignorant - he deserves it.

    Hipster look for both genders

    1. Avoid<<ширпотреба>>. This means that you should not wear brands such as Hollister, Abercrombie, Aeropostale, etc. For two important reasons: it shows your individuality, and that you are against big corporations. For things to buy, look to brands like Buffalo Exchange. If you don't want to buy second-hand items, look at stores that sell clothes that look worn or vintage. However, American Apparel is perhaps an exception, as they do not use sweatshops to make their clothing.

      • Okay, do you live in a small town where second-hand shopping is out of the question? If you're caught at the city mall or H&M, you might feel a little embarrassed, but you won't be the only hipster shopping there.
    2. Find a T-shirt that fits well. Remember:<<хорошо сидит>> for a hipster, not the same as<<хорошо сидит>> for the non-hipster. A hipster men's shirt should be tight-fitting, and the sleeves should be a millimeter shorter than a regular men's shirt. Women's shirts often replicate the boyfriend's look. Women don't have to buy shirts from the men's department, but you can choose a women's shirt a couple of sizes larger than you.

      • To be sexy, you have to look unsexy. Especially for girls, tight clothes that make it difficult to breathe are not from the hipster's repertoire (this does not apply to men's skinny jeans). Baggy and loose clothing is good, even excellent. The main irony is not the silhouette.
    3. Don't forget about denim. Except denim skirts. Skinny, skinny jeans --<<маст хэв>> for both sexes. They can be any color or pattern, even floral or acid green. If you don't like pants, consider cut-off jeans. They can be any length for girls and just above the knee for men.

      • Girls can wear their boyfriend's jeans by folding the bottom of the legs a couple of times.
      • Denim shirts and jackets are a great addition to a hipster's wardrobe. Don't be afraid to reshape and trim them. Denim vests are also in price!
    4. Fasten what you're wearing. It fastens, right? For sure. If you are a hipster girl, then you probably have several hooded sweatshirts in your closet. They go with any clothes. Exactly, to anyone. a hoodie should be your best friend.

      • You'll score extra points if you pair the hoodie with a fedora, blazer, or feminine floral dress.
    5. Reuse old things. There's no point in fighting for the environment and becoming a vegetarian if you can't do the same with your wardrobe. If in doubt, before throwing something away, find out whether it can be given a second life. Can you turn it into something new and completely wearable?

      • It is not necessary to keep them in their original form! A sweater can be turned into gloves (a lampshade cover, a book cover, a pillow cover)! Do you want to be original? Doing it yourself is a good start.
    6. Get ready for winter. The intensity of the attire will depend on the time of year and where you live, but it is still important to dress warmly without losing your hipster look. Here are some ideas:

      • Find a flannel. An oversized button-down shirt is a good addition to the hipster look, no matter the color. Ideally, the color should not match the rest of your clothes.
      • Buy a couple of cardigans. They are sold everywhere, even in the most consumer stores. Choose a cardigan with large buttons and a deep V-neck. If you find one, buy a cardigan a couple sizes larger.
      • Find an ironic turtleneck or pullover. Grandma's patterns are best suited: kittens, flowers or Christmas trees. The more terrible the pattern, the better.
      • Keep your head warm with a fluffy, gray beanie. The color can be changed to acid orange.
    7. Don't be shy about color. Since you can combine any, even the most incompatible things, you can become a real rainbow person. The more colors the better. And the brighter and more patterned they are, the more reasons there are to put it all on and go to a public place with your analog camera.

      • Neon, neon, neon. Neon pants, neon shoes, neon accessories, neon Ray Bans - even if you're not in style, you'll stand out! Regular colors go too well together (color palette be damned), so spruce up your wardrobe with neon, patterns and more.<<несочетаниями>>.
      • Watch TV series<<Девчонки>>, <<Убить скуку>> or<<Портландия>> for inspiration. The way your favorite performer dresses will do too!
    • Don't try to combine everything in your clothes. Sure, there's a common hipster look, but it's not about looking like you're trying to look like a hipster, but rather like you've thrown on whatever you had on hand and walked out the door.
  • The fashion world is rich in styles to choose from. For example, fashion has given rise to the trend of hipsters, who are not difficult to recognize among young boys and girls by their manner of dressing. About, how hipster girls dress You will learn from our article, where we will tell you more about their style.

    Hipsters are united by a love of fashion and an unusual way of putting together fashionable outfits. Hipsters are crazy about Instagram and other social networks, where they happily display photos of themselves, showing off fashionable outfits and places they have visited. Hipsters cannot imagine their life without various gadgets and fashionable technical innovations, such as iPhone, iPad, MacBook, etc. On their work computer there is always a picture that has a double meaning, which can make you sad.

    • Hipsters choose creative professions that highlight their creative approach to dressing. Hipsters are characterized by activity that concerns both girls and boys. They are not prone to self-destruction and love life in all its manifestations. When meeting a new person, representatives of this subculture always pay attention to his clothes, or more precisely, to the brands that the person uses to create his bows.
    • Hipsters are always aware of fashion news, which they take not only from the catwalks, but also from the cultural traditions of representatives of other countries. Hipsters are crazy about parties, which in addition to fun bring them pleasure in the form of new photos.
    • To some extent, hipsters can be called representatives of bohemian youth, after all, they may not work at all, but do what they like, of course, if they have the means to subsist. By the way, when the fashionable wave of the hipster movement was just emerging, they did not work at all and were poor, which was evident in their clothes.
    • Almost any youth movement can be called hipsters. By the way, the fact that a hipster is really a hipster is something she or he will never admit. Maybe because they themselves don’t know about it. Hipster culture begins in big cities, and London is the birthplace of this fashion trend. It is in this city that most representatives of bright, unusually dressed young people are seen.

    A hipster girl's wardrobe is varied, just like any other young lady. Here you can find tons of fashion and vintage items, as well as tons of accessories and jewelry.

    • Branded items. They are given priority, because modern hipsters are representatives of the “golden” youth. However, this does not mean that hipsters do not rummage through grandma's trunk and visit flea markets. If an item is worthy of being worn, it will not be ignored.
    • Backpacks. They are much more convenient to carry things in than in a purse. The backpack can be thrown over your shoulder and it will not get in the way. You can put sneakers in it for training and a tablet in tandem with other technical devices. Backpacks made of corduroy or thick fabric, gray, beige, white, and khaki are valued.
    • Stretched sweaters and T-shirts. It could be a large size, an item from a men's wardrobe, or just a sweater stretched to the limit. It will be good if the item looks slightly worn and has scuffs, stretched sleeves and collar, and maybe even small holes.
    • Men's outfits. Girls try their best to look like guys, while guys enjoy trying on and wearing girls' outfits. A woman's wardrobe can include a men's jacket, a men's suit and other unisex and boyfriend items.
    • Checked shirts. Girls prefer men's wide shirts, which can be tucked into jeans or straightened out.
    • Hoodies. They are decorated with a cheerful design, print or brand name. The sweatshirt can be with or without a hood.
    • Skinny pants or jeans. Retro models are welcome; bootcut jeans are popular, reminiscent of the bygone 80s. The style is either simple or skinny jeans, which either seem big and have a high waist, or are narrower than the wearer’s legs. Trousers are colored. Both jeans and trousers do not have any decorative trim. Among hipsters, simplicity is valued in this wardrobe item.
    • T-shirts and tank tops with drawings of animals, cartoon characters, Barbie, etc.
    • Clothes with the English flag. Everything about London is welcome in clothing. This could be a handbag, T-shirt, cap, boots or other item of clothing.
    • Crosses. We are talking about both the print that decorates clothes - trousers, T-shirts, T-shirts, tops, sweaters, and decorations in the shape of a cross.
    • Hats. Regular classic hats that complete the look and add intrigue.
    • Jackets, coats, shirts with rolled up sleeves. Rolled up jeans can also be attributed to this item. I don't understand why hipster girls do this. Either they are simply hot, or they think that this way their bow will look more stylish.
    • Rivets. Can decorate a jacket or vest made of leather or denim. The jacket can be decorated with spikes, similar to the punk leather jacket.
    • Leggings. They have classic black, bright colors, checkered prints or small applications, for example in the form of a skull. Also in demand are jeggings - tight trousers made of denim. Girls combine them with sweaters several sizes larger, T-shirts and sweaters. Often, girls wear a T-shirt and a plaid shirt with jeggings or leggings, which they then take off and tie around their hips.
    • Tights, knee socks. These can be fancy tights or ordinary monotonous ones, which hipster girls often wear in tandem with short denim shorts.
    • Big scarves. Both guys and hipster girls simply cannot imagine life without them, trying to introduce them into their image not only in the winter, but also in the summer.
    • High platform and heeled shoes, sneakers. They are characterized by various models - with laces, with a stable heel, Mary Jane shoes, etc. If a girl wears shoes with a strap or boots with laces, then either lace socks peek out from under them, or they completely cover her knee socks. Sneakers are worn in combination with skinny trousers.
    • Sunglasses with plastic colored frames. They may not protect from the sun, but they must be included in the image, because they can be considered its “highlight”.
    • Accessories. Headbands, hats, which we have already mentioned above, plastic bracelets and things with the USSR logo are welcome.

    What hairstyles do hipster girls wear?

    Hipsters prefer retro hairstyles with a big bouffant and high bangs. However, what brings girls the most joy are kichkas - careless buns on their heads from which disheveled hair peeks out. Shaved temples are also relevant.

    The hipster style does not imply strict canons when putting together sets, which means you can rely on the things that are present in your wardrobe and on your own desire to stand out from the crowd.

    • A short denim skirt, a large white T-shirt with a panda face, sneakers or ankle boots, bright plastic bracelets and a black hat. This option is quite suitable for work or study.
    • A knee-length skirt, a short wide sweater, platform boots, a vintage watch, a scarf, a backpack or sunglasses. This option is quite worthy of an outing with friends.
    • Short ripped denim shorts, asymmetrical stretched top, bright sneakers, clutch. Onions are suitable for entertaining and gatherings in cafes.
    • Yellow jeggings, terracotta suede ankle boots with stable high heels, a knitted sweater with black and white diagonal stripes, a blue denim shirt, a black jacket with rolled up sleeves, a large scarf in the color of the shoes, a handbag on a chain. A great option for a romantic or business date!

    Dressing like a hipster girl is easy. Surely, remembering your everyday variations, you have noticed more than once that you use some elements of their style, for example, wearing a high, careless bun on your head or rolling up the sleeves of your jacket. Don't be shy and keep up the good work!

    Every era, every century is inseparably connected with the emergence of youth movements. Remember the era of hippies - lovers of life, dudes with their struggle for self-expression, and more recently the time of emo, ever-present punks, goths and others. Today, hipsters are becoming increasingly popular - a subculture, the main idea of ​​which, in my opinion, does not have much depth; representatives of this movement do not fight with anyone, but only enjoy life and all its benefits. And especially hipsters are attracted to everything that is fashionable and trendy. The origins of this informal culture are really interesting. Let's get to know her better together.

    Who are hipsters?

    Simply put, hipsters are representatives of an informal movement who always want to “be in the know.” The first hipsters appeared in the 40s of the 20th century in the USA; initially, representatives of this movement were characterized as wealthy young people interested in foreign literature, jazz music, arthouse cinema, and street fashion. In today's understanding, hipsters (subculture) are young men and women striving to be advanced. At the same time, they do not have a special political or social opinion, they do not fight for anyone’s rights, they prefer to bring fashionable foreign things into their lives.


    Hipsters enjoy using all Apple products; in their arsenal you will definitely find an iPhone, iPad or Macbook. And among them there are many people with modern creative professions: photographers, graphic designers, journalists, DJs. Or they prefer to work in establishments such as music stores, nightclubs, and branded clothing boutiques.
    Reading this post, you shouldn’t think that the subculture of modern hipsters is hopeless: these people, in most cases, have a creative mindset, they are cheerful, sociable, and party-goers by nature. They prefer to watch films with deep meaning, read Palahniuk and have their own style of clothing, which I will tell you about later.



    How do hipster girls and boys dress or How to become a hipster?

    The age category of this subculture ranges from 16 to 25 years. The hipster girl wears vintage things, in her wardrobe you will definitely find skinny jeans, she has a lot of T-shirts with bright prints and slogans. An essential attribute of any hipster is a plaid shirt. They also love to wear backpacks and parkas, and the famous Converse sneakers have become the iconic shoes of this subculture, both for boys and for the fair sex. In general, a hipster girl prefers comfort and practicality when it comes to clothes.







    For hipster guys, the wardrobe is not much different from women's. Tight trousers, T-shirts, sweatshirts, T-shirts with prints and designs, soft jackets (joggings), sneakers, and backpacks still dominate here. You can also add hats - with pom-poms, tight-fitting ones, and hats - to your hipster wardrobe arsenal. Guys of this subculture usually wear beards, like casual hairstyles, and button up their shirts.














    Another important hipster accessory is large glasses with black frames.


    Is it possible to become a hipster only by dressing according to the above recommendations? I think it's unlikely. After all, hipsters (subculture) unite creative people with their aspirations and goals; they are not only those who want to live in St. Petersburg and drink coffee from cardboard plastic cups. And at the end of this post, watch the video from Comedy Woman about hipsters. I liked it, how about you?

    clothing style of representatives of the youth subculture of the same name, whose philosophy is external and internal freedom, non-consumer lifestyle, non-commercial things. The name comes from the English phrase “to be hip” (“to be in the know”) with the addition of a suffix by analogy with the historical prototype - the beatnik. In the USA of the 40-50s of the 20th century, among representatives of the “beat generation” there was a term “hipsters”, which denoted jazz musicians and the bohemian counterculture that formed around them. Hipsters of the 21st century emerged around 2004 from the middle class population aged 14 to 25.

    Hipsters strive to stay away from a society that, in their opinion, is trying to subject everyone to its own standards. The basis of the subculture is a special appearance, by the presence of which the dignity of others is assessed. Hipsters are fond of alternative art, appreciated by the authorities of their circle (music in the style of indie rock, lo-fi and synthpop, arthouse cinema, fashion writers, the work of little-known designers, etc.). Representatives of the subculture often have creative professions (photographer, journalist, gallery owner, DJ, etc.) or work in one way or another related to art (in music and book stores, fashionable nightclubs, designer clubs, etc.). There is a hipster manifesto that touches on the deceitfulness of power, zombification of people through television, lack of freedom of speech and entrepreneurship. The appeal emphasizes the possibility of changing the existing situation in the country through the forces of hipsters (without indicating the methods of influence).

    “The hipster is extremely alive. He is emotional, active, active, inquisitive and voluptuous. His motivation for activity is the desire to immediately establish the order of his existence. Immediately receive satisfaction in any form. Whether it’s irritation, joy, hysteria or apathy.”

    Andrey Zubrilov, leading designer at Artemy Lebedev Studio
