Streetwear is a unique international fashion phenomenon.
Independent young people created it in the back streets of places like The Bronx, Harajuku, and Laguna Beach.
And they decided to make their own kind of music like Hip Hop and Punk Rock, and enjoy their own sports like Skateboarding!
They adopted a casual, comfortable, laid back and loose look that’s perfect for hanging out and chilling with friends in the hood.
This has somehow found its way onto the high fashion runways of Paris!
Streetwear is definitely a modern-day rags-to-riches story.
Collectors now pay top dollar for limited-run editions of gear like sneakers and hoodies.
These items feature classic streetwear names like Stüssy and Bathing Ape emblazoned on them.
If you want to try out the streetwear clothing lifestyle for yourself, check out our dandy guide to looking cool and kakkoii, so read on!
1. T-Shirt
A basic component of the streetwear look, I recommend you go with a basic black T sporting the iconic Undrground clothing label, a brand that ‘get’s’ streetwear and does it right.
Oh, and there is no letter ‘e’ in the name, so don’t look for one!
This is a T-Shirt built to last, and look good anywhere you decide to hang.
2. Hoodie
Those back streets can get cold at night, which is when you slip your trusty hoodie on so you can chill out without getting too chilly!
Look for the requisite oversized fit, and drawstring closing hood for when you want to go incognito.
Sports team logos are always in, as well as band and musical artist names so you can show your support!
You can wear any colour you choose, but I bet you can guess that the most popular is black, and that’s what it is!

Now that you have acquired your tops, it’s time to hit the bottoms!
Streetwear is all about loose and luxurious without being all fancy.
There is nothing better for lounging around or playing a pick up game of B-Ball in then a pair of sweatpants.
Neutral colours like grey or midnight blue are perfectly cool
You could probably guessed what I will say next- black, Jack!

4. Sneakers
You ain’t going anywhere down those back streets without those sneakers on.
They are the foundation upon which all of streetwear is built, and continues to bounce on!
I don’t need to tell you what brands, they are plastered all over the internet.
But I will tell you not to fall for all that glitzy, gimmicky stuff that overpaid sports stars are promoting to get the rest of your hard earned cash.
Just get yourself into a solid pair of old school high tops that know their way around a basketball court, it’s a layup, brothers and sisters!
Oh, and white is OK. This time. Just saying.
