What Exactly is “Street Style?”
April 19, 2019

Street style is a broad term for styles and fashions that originate with a subculture or individual, as opposed to being driven by the fashion industry. Street fashion is generally associated with youth and most often seen in major urban centers.

I recently viewed London Street Style for Spring on Elle.com.

I found styles that were mildly confusing and downright dangerous. But as I always say, “Viva la Difference.” Let me know what you think?

Maybe she got up too early and had to dress in the dark. Is someone going to tell her that her shirt is on backwards?
Now, I might go for this trend. Wearing the scarf tied in the back.
Wearing stirrup pants OVER your shoes…hmm, interesting.
I’m quite worried about this girl tripping over her pants.
Here’s the answer: wrap your ankle straps around the bottom of your pants.

She decided to wear her bra over her dress.


This girl is following the trend by wearing a camisole for a vest.


Do you think she accidentally reached into her boyfriend’s closet and put on his clothes?


The fanny pack is back. Do you love the idea?


They call these “collarbone” earrings. Would you wear them?


I really don’t think leopard print will ever go out of style.
I love this straw bag. Remember when our mother’s carried these years ago?

Thank you, Elle Magazine, for enlightening us on London’s latest street fashions. It’s nice to know we have choices. And every garment we choose has something to say about us.

Please tell us which trends you like and which trends don’t quite fit your style.

I’m so glad I’m old and not tempted by any of these “fashions”. Happy Easter to all!

    Janet,
    I do think if we wore our shirt backward or wore our camisole over our clothes, folks would not interpret it as style…but maybe dementia. haha

    Hilde,
    I know. But somehow youth can pull it off.

Well, the camisole over a shirt or tee or simple dress is not new. I think any age can pull it off. Just have to find a look that works for you. Most of my camisoles are not edged in lace.

    Yes, Pam.
    The camisole acts as a vest of sorts, only much lighter. Thanks for writing.
