4 Clothing Styles To Rock The Street Block With

Dressing up is easy. We all know that. But dressing up in style? Oh, now that’s a different story, especially when it comes to street gear. Yes, there are plenty of hype brands out there perfect for getting your city slickin’ game on. Still, it can be a little hard to get inspiration at times.
Not to worry. We’ve got you guys covered with a list of 4 clothing styles for you to up your street cred. And for convenience sake, we’ve picked all of them from fashion retailer i.t, which has a medley of sick brands under its belt. Well, here goes:

Conventional:

Want to make an impression without standing out too much? Then Izzue should be right up your alley. Pronounced as “Issue”, the Hong Kong-based brand has a number of sleek designs in its arsenal, plenty of which are flowing silhouettes with bold, plain colours.
We recommend going for the black dungarees over here. It’s comfy, easy to pull off, and cooling, which is great considering how hot and humid Singapore can be. The black colourway is also refreshing compared to the dungarees’ usual denim style, and can be easily paired with basic sleeveless vests. If you prefer keeping your arms covered, slip on a cotton lawn shirt and pair it with wrapped denim shorts for a chic outfit. Don’t forget to partly leave the shirt untucked for added panache.

Minimalist:

If there’s one style that’ll never go out of fashion, it’s minimalism. There’s just something beautiful about toning things down, and as the saying goes, less is more. For that, i.t has 5cm, a brand with a variety of monochrome pieces that range from overalls to blouses. Best of all, they complement each other well, so you’ll never run out of options.
To keep things elegant and simple, go for a black overall with a white tee inside. Or if you want to shake things up a little, pair an oversized, translucent white shirt with a black skirt and striped t-shirt for the ultimate contrast.

Grungy:

Contrary to popular belief, dressing down isn’t just about leggings or New Balance sneakers. There are grittier, less “basic” ways to look chill, and they don’t involve gym clothing. Case in point: Fingercroxx, a brand that takes after the street style of L.A. Try out their grungy Ninety’s Street collection, which draws influences from Heavy Metal and 90’s Hip Hop with graphic tees and oversized tops.
For a skateboarder-style outfit, choose any one of the graphic tees and pair it with a ragged square-patterned top and denim shorts. Slap on a good pair of sneakers with long socks, and you’re good to go. If an oversized top doesn’t work for you, give that a skip and just stick to a sleeveless printed tee instead. A bucket hat can be added for some old school cool.

Quirky:

Sometimes, you got to take the normal and throw it out of the window. Life’s fun like that, and so is :CHOCOOLATE, a label we already love for its peculiar but cutesy designs – think Polaroid and Gudetama.
To adapt the brand’s quirkiness to a street style however, we suggest going for the ‘Brooklyn Seaside’ collection, which features items like printed dresses and striped tank tops. For instance, you can easily pair pink overalls with a white tee for a cute but spunky look. Or wear blue waist-high shorts with a polar bear-emblazoned red tee for some added kawaii.
