When talking about urban fashion, streetwear style is essential. Both casual and stylish, this look has evolved over the years to become a wardrobe staple, especially among 16-24 year olds. However, it's easy to make some common mistakes. Here's how to find your streetwear style and avoid them.
Finding your streetwear style
Streetwear is above all a matter of confidence and attitude. To start, get ideas from TikTok and Instagram. The trendy looks of 2025 are heavily inspired by retro outfits with a modern touch. Looking to dress cool for high school without looking sloppy? Opt for an oversized hoodie like the "MENOR" Hoodie, a key piece for any outfit.
Essential items to have in your wardrobe
- Basic T-shirts: A simple white t-shirt, paired with jeans or wide pants, remains timeless. Add a zip-up sweatshirt like the "SIGNA" Zip Sweatshirt to perfect your look.
- Oversized hoodies: Essential for chill days. No need to spend a fortune to have style.
- Stylish accessories: Sunglasses like the "FIRE" Glasses can transform a basic look into a streetwear outfit.
Tips to succeed with your streetwear look
- Play with proportions: Wide pants like the "LIVE GOD" Pant paired with a fitted top creates a nice dynamic.
- Mix materials: Layering different fabrics adds depth to an outfit. Try pairing a hoodie with raw denim jeans.
- Master color: Monochrome outfits or well-matched colors offer a strong visual impact. To avoid fashion faux pas, stick to a maximum of three colors per outfit.
Avoid common mistakes
When starting out, the risk is wanting to try everything at once. Remember that style is also knowing how to restrain yourself. Accessories like a beanie or a cap are enough to complete an outfit. Don't hesitate to consult our streetwear size guide to avoid buying pieces that are too big or too small.
Care and accessorizing
Taking care of your clothes ensures their longevity. Wash your sweatshirts inside out and use gentle products to preserve the color. For accessorizing, consider mixes like a discreet necklace or a vintage watch.
