Although the urban look works for most people, pulling it together to make it look smart isn’t always easy. With the sheer amount of urban style brands, it can be quite daunting if you’re trying to figure out where to start. So if you’re trying to find an awesome urban look, there are a few rules you need to follow.
Size
In the urban environment, it’s all about looking bigger and bolder than anyone else in order to stand out. Since individuality carries a high price, one needs to put everything they have out there if they’re going to stand out in the loud urban setting. And this mindset carries on to other aspects of street life; an urban look, brightly-colored street art and loud music all blend in perfectly together.
But this doesn’t necessarily mean that bigger is always better. Rather, it’s about finding a good way to use your outfits to express concepts and ideas that are bigger than you. You could thus try combining large t-shirts, bold caps, large shoes and anything else with large prints to come up with an urban look that suits you.
Contrast
Whether it’s a ‘normal’ black-and-white combination or a crazy mix-and-match of many different colors, wearing contrasting garments will absolutely make your outfit stand out. But you don’t have to wear every color in the rainbow each time you leave your house. Just a single splash of color would be enough to add a good touch of visual appeal to your outfit. Whatever you choose, ensure the contrast that results is either huge or largely toned down, but not both.
Accessorize
Accessories are crucial in just about all fashion styles. Just like a movie star needs a supporting cast, your clothes also need their supporting pieces in order to shine. So take a look at your wardrobe and figure out what items you could use to complete a look or add layers to your outfits. And if you’re short on accessories, make getting a few of them (such as caps and rings) your priority.
The clothes one wears are strongly linked with the way they live and with other elements of their life as well. Coming up with a style is not only fun, but it’s also a good way to explore your interests and learn more about yourself. All in all, keep in mind that comfort is crucial, no matter what style you’re trying out. Even the best street fashion outfits will only distract you from what really matters if they make you feel uncomfortable.
