Are you jealous of all those cool hipster guys? This article will teach you how to become one of them!
Steps
Step 1. Music is the secret of being a hipster - in fact it opens the doors to hipster culture. Start with the genres you like, and then look for new emerging artists. Also, listen to old music from your favorite bands and don't limit yourself to their latest hits. For example, the music of Green Day from the 90s is very different from the more recent one. Also try other genres similar to the original one. Pandora.com is a great site for finding the music you like.
Step 2. As mentioned in another article, avoid saying you like everything
This will make you appear like a die-hard fan and it is also important to have personal opinions.
Step 3. Go see concerts
The best way to find out who's playing in your city is to go downtown and see the posters.
Step 4. Dressing is very important for a hipster
What matters is change slowly, and not suddenly - that way you won't pass for a pretender. Typically, the hipster look includes bright colors, but don't eliminate neutral ones. If you want to wear a bright pink shirt, combine it with black and not purple skinny jeans. Also, try to dress with class to stand out from fake hipsters.
Step 5. Pants should be skinny or fitted. Use a mix of bright and neutral colors. Add patches, pins and whatever else. Be original. Look for those skinny jeans for men that, however, leave some space and are not like a second skin. Try them before you buy them!
Step 6. As for the shoes, there are several options
Chuck Taylors, Vans and Adidas Originals are good choices. But remember that you're not an emo or don't want to show off, so try to be unique. The important thing is to have several pairs of shoes to wear on different days. You can also buy them used. Also try some moccasins.
Step 7. For shirts, don't limit yourself to t-shirts
Opt for polo shirts, V-necks, sleeveless shirts, etc. Make sure you have both tight-fitting and loose-fitting shirts.
Step 8. Wear hoodies, thermal shirts and cardigans in cold weather
Avoid zippered sweatshirts because everyone has them. Also look for sweatshirts without hood and zipper, be unique!
Step 9. As for the vests, you have more flexibility
Military-style vests are fine. Choose a neutral color that goes with everything. The jacket is sure to be the most important item in your wardrobe, so choose it wisely.
Step 10. Glasses need to be large and eye-catching
Wear sunglasses in the summer to hide your face. Choose bright colors. If you wear eyeglasses, buy Wayfarers. Otherwise, buy some plastic glasses without prescription lenses and wear them for fun every now and then.
Step 11. Go for a healthy lifestyle
Go vegan, drink water with vitamins, etc.
Advice
- Be ironic. Try being ironic and sarcastic to others but also to yourself.
- Avoid looking like a neon sign. Black and dark green are beautiful colors. Be careful when you leave the house to go to school: don't you want to look like someone with a rainbow in the closet? Change!
