If you want to know how to dress in swag or fly style, you've come to the right place. This fashion involves not only wearing the right clothes, but also feeling good about your body and having the right attitude. The term "swag clothing" is associated with hip hop culture, but its definition is broad because it means dressing with self-confidence, looking cool, and being proud to show off what you are wearing. If you want to know how to dress in this style, follow these simple tips.
Steps
Step 1. Get the right attitude
You can't dress swag or fly without feeling like one. Swag is a way of life, not just a fashion style. Swag clothing can also be ridiculous, so for best results, you need to act as if everything you wear is cool and fits your body. Here's how to do it:
- Trust yourself. If people see that you are happy and satisfied with who you are and with what you do and wear, then they will be more likely to accept your fly look.
- It doesn't matter what people think. You have to be convinced that you look good and not care if others think if you look like you're fly or crazy. While you shouldn't ignore other people's criticisms, when they are reasonable, you should be comfortable with what you do and this will show in your way of dressing.
- Be proud of your body. Whether you are long-limbed or curvy, you should be proud of your body and wear clothes that showcase your best features. Being proud of your body also means knowing that clothes look good, even if they are a little weird.
- Love your style. You must be convinced that you have a unique style that no one will be able to copy. Even if you try to make your wardrobe more swag or fly, you will still have an original style that sets you apart regardless of everything. Whenever you get dressed, your attitude should say, "I'm already awesome … I'm just adding a twist to my rockin 'style."
Step 2. Make sure you have the right face and hair
The face is the first thing people see, so you should make sure it communicates to people that you are fly. So, be prepared but don't look like you've spent hours styling your hair and wearing makeup. Here's how to do it:
- Do a "smoky eyes" makeup. Put on black or dark eyeliner, dark mascara and eyeshadow. The eyes should look alluring and mysterious at the same time.
- Put on a gloss or lipstick. Enhance your lips with a soft or glossy shade.
- Dare to style your hair. You can wear your hair short and pointed, reaching to the chin with a side-swept fringe or wavy that goes down over the shoulders.
- Change your hair from time to time. If you get bored with your look, dye your hair a strong purple or red, or go for a layered cut.
- Use hair products to enhance your appearance, but don't overdo it or they'll look greasy.
- Get a face piercing if you can. A nose or eyebrow piercing can add an extra touch to your fly look.
Step 3. Wear swag garments on top
The right shirts will show others that you are proud of your look as well as your body. You can show your stomach or wear big, baggy t-shirts if you're in the mood. Whatever shirts you wear, you need to try to match them well with your look. Here are some tips:
- Undershirts. If you want to be a little daring, the tank top can be tight, a little wide or strapless. If you want to show off your abs, you can wear a t-shirt that reveals the belly or even a very cropped top.
- T-shirt. You can wear a loose-fitting T-shirt, a T-shirt with a graphic print, or a T-shirt with an embossed logo.
- Jackets. Leather or letterman jackets (American college style) will complete your look.
- Shirts. Wear a shirt or jacket with your favorite player's name on the back. Or, for a more retro look, wear something with the name of Michael Jordan or another athlete who no longer plays. An important part of being fly is not caring if what you're wearing is current. It doesn't matter where you got it from or how long ago it's a boss, as long as it's beautiful.
- If you want to be daring, wear a top that is barely larger than a bikini under your jacket. If you can see it, why not?
- Wear a hoodie or sweatshirt with or without a well-known logo, such as the Adidas one.
- Wear a gold jacket full of zippers.
Step 4. Dress in swag style from the waist down
The shirt and pants must be matched or not matched intentionally. A tight top will look like fly worn over a pair of baggy pants, while a loose top will look great on tight pants. If you want to look fly, the bottom pieces have to match this look. Here are some tips:
- Wear a pair of pants with a low or dropped crotch. They will give a fly touch when worn with a fitted t-shirt or tank top.
- Wear a pair of baggy sweatpants with bright kicks and a tight top.
- Enhance what you have with a pair of booty shorts.
- Skinny jeans or loose skinny jeans (those that remain soft on the legs).
- Wear something strong or shiny. Don't be afraid to wear bright yellow or neon colors if you feel comfortable.
- Use animal prints. Wear zebra-striped or leopard-spotted trousers for attention.
- Basketball shorts can also be terrific for your look.
Step 5. Put on your fly style sneakers
Shoes can create or ruin your outfit, but also be an element that holds together several very whimsical patterns. They can be the strongest and most fun part of your pairing, so you can't go wrong as long as you're trying to be extravagant. Here are some examples of shoes to wear:
- Wear branded basketball shoes, such as Adidas, Supra or Nike.
- Wear a pair of black and white Converse. Do not take off the laces, otherwise you will not be fashionable, but you will look like a hipster.
- Wear black socks with your shoes and pull them up.
- If you want to be elegant, throw on a pair of eye-catching heels, black, gold or silver.
Step 6. Get fly accessories
To be a swag or fly, you need to have that little bit of self-confidence that will make you stand out. It means that flashy, fun or frivolous accessories can help you complete your look. When you try to be fly, you can give your look an extra touch with a few key elements or you can wear tons of accessories at once - and do it with pride. Here are some swag accessories that can match your outfit:
- Wear a lot of jewelry. Wear silver and gold hoop earrings, chunky black necklaces, chains or medals.
- Wear eye-catching rings and bracelets or bracelets with spikes.
- Cover your head with a bandana, baseball cap, or wide-brimmed baseball cap.
- Wear oversized glasses with black frames.
- Paint your nails black or a bold color.
Advice
- For a true swag look, try to match the shirt with your shoes and wear neon-colored bracelets with swag-style ones.
- If you want to be fly and highlight the fact that you belong to hip hop culture, then you will need to know everything there is to know about it. Listen to Lil Wayne, Tyga, 50 Cent, Drake, Ludacris, Ciara, Wiz Khalifa and Nicki Minaj, or try MGK, Mystic, 2 chains, French Montana, Yo Gotti, etc.
