Streetwear for men
It takes some effort to create a harmonious and trendy street style. Regular updating of the basic wardrobe for men makes it much easier to choose the right clothes for going out every day.
Peculiarities
Streetwear for men and women emerged in the late 1960s with the rise of liberal democracy.... Since then, all civilized countries have striven to adhere to the principles of protecting personal rights and freedoms in order to create a unique urban community without dogmas and prejudices, in the struggle for each person, regardless of his social or material status, skin color, gender, nationality, and so on.
Youth and rebellious subcultures entered the fashion industry as a reaction to the mass style of the "mall" (from the English "mall" - shopping center). Nowadays, urban style is recognized by all famous fashion designers and influences the world of haute couture.
Ironically enough, At the beginning of the 21st century, many mass-produced brands began to clearly lean towards street style. It is noteworthy that, unlike the others, this style does not cover strictly defined styles and colors, but offers a number of mixed styles.
The most visible trend in men's fashion has become skinny jeansthat originally came from the punk subculture. The same can be said for the hippie-style loose cut of thin, seemingly shapeless material, which focuses on childish spontaneity and symbolizes a complete rejection of glamor and sexism. Another source was the hip-hop culture (somewhat reminiscent of sports), which originated among the African American working class in New York; it has long ceased to belong only to the music industry from which it arose.
Who is it suitable for?
Most men prefer to shop as little as possible. This is the advantage of street style, which is one of the most versatile. Thanks to the ability to combine things with virtually no restrictions in the choice of colors and shapes, they do not hinder movement, which means that you will be equally comfortable both relaxing and holding business meetings. The main charm, and if you want a philosophy, of this style is the erasure of any age and social framework, so such clothes will suit everyone - from small to large.
Basic wardrobe depending on the season
As such, it can be quite difficult to determine exactly what will be trending next season as street fashion is constantly evolving. However, several general principles can be distinguished, among which, first of all, attention is paid to practicality and comfort when wearing things such as jeans, T-shirts, baseball caps and sneakers. The main trends in spring-summer 2020 include:
- shoulder bags;
- massive sunglasses with mirrored or colored glasses and the same frames;
- high-waisted straight trousers, chinos and bell bottoms;
- shorts below the knee;
- shirts with a Cuban collar and a Hawaiian print;
- patchwork print - patchwork;
- a suit of a free cut, preferably a larger one.
- jacket, blazer or oversized jacket;
- sneakers and sports boots;
- laconic slippers and sandals.
There is also some nostalgia for the late 1980s, which are particularly memorable for their vibrant colors, artsy graphic prints and logos.
Moreover, especially it is important to correctly combine things of retro styles with modernso that they do not look like "mothballs" from grandfather. For example, an office shirt no longer matches an oversized suit or jacket.If you are in doubt about what to wear under the bottom, then it is better to choose a plain T-shirt. Also, a modern fashionable image does not involve wearing classic shoes, unless, of course, your dress code at work requires it.
