Chapter 3: The B3 

Basic Boring Boujie

So many trends, so many brands, so many influencers, so many designers, and keeping up with such rapid fashion revolution in India can be a real task and therefore, I have come up with the B3 theory of street style that will change the way you look at clothes hanging on those beautiful racks of stores that in a way are influencing or perhaps conditioning us to buy things that are not even us.

The Basic:

Whites, Blacks, Neutrals

You can also call these, the closet essentials. Basics are the foundation of any street style look. Pieces that help a boujie outfit find a balance by neutralizing it are basically the basics in our wardrobe.

In short, Existence of which is barely noticeable but absence of which cannot be ignored.

Some quick examples of basics are:

•  A white T shirt 
• A pair of fine denim
• A black shirt
• A nude turtle neck top
• A pair of black leggings
• A denim jacket

Shopping tip tip:

• Should occupy  45-50% of your wardrobe space
• You can shop from anywhere. Honestly, these are the easiest to shop for.

The Boring:

Fast trends

We all, at some point, have fallen into this trend trap eventually leaving us with “I’ve got nothing to wear”, comic but true. These pieces are the hardest to style under street style genre and are basically the least worn.

We all are different and though we may fall under the same fashion aesthetic our personalities are different which makes us unique and therefore we need clothes that imply our uniqueness and not clothes that imply mainstream trends.

Simply stating, one can be a particular trend but one can’t be all the trends.

Shopping tip tip:

• Can occupy 10-15% of your wardrobe space
•  Avoid buying these just because its ‘trendy’. Visualize yourself wearing it on and if you can, buy it.

The Boujie:

Vintage, Designer

 This category requires the most investment, not just monetary but physical, emotional, mental and even spiritual.

So before going any deeper into this category we need one thing to be sure about is which fashion genre we fall into or which fashion genre we feel the most ME in. You don’t have to have a single fashion aesthetic, you can choose how many you want to considering how you feel most days.Start with a few fashion aesthetics.

Buy clothes that are TOO MUCH. Clothes that make you trip for them at the first sight.

Always remember,

Loud clothes are the easiest to style and the sickest to carry.

Shopping tip tip:

•  Should occupy 30-40% of your wardrobe space.
• You can shop from- thrift markets, inexpensive designer stores, vintage stores, online stores, local shops and even fast fashion brands.
• Just follow your heart. 

Whatever I write is a summary of what I research, what I see, what I decode, what I learn, what I believe in and what I consider can hurt my tummy if not shared.

I really hope you like it

Thank you J

Love yaaaaaaa

Street style wear Chapter 2: Become an artist

Chapter 2: Become an artist

How to master the art of street style wear, the only genre that came from the streets and later made it to the runways? Well the question itself has the answer, we are the roots to it and if only we stick to being us and only us, we can slay this genre effortlessly. If only we understand that there is no cage that can restrain us from expressing who we really are, we are the master of this art already.

 Below follows a few points that can broaden your fashion horizon

Layer-

Layering needs just one thing and that is the eye to it. So the process is, when you’re done layering an outfit all you need to do is stand in front of the mirror, if it gives pleasure to your eyes, it really is good but if it doesn’t you probably need to make changes. There’s this BIG myth about layering that it is only a winter thing. And I know it can get difficult in summers so…

Here are a few tips for easy layering

• Use natural fabrics
• Fishnets can be your savior
• Get some action out of your see through clothes
• Play with accessories; bulky belts, scarves, chains, etc

Limit-

I usually name looks that I create in my blog but I didn’t name any street style look because naming anything limits it and street wear literally has NO LIMIT. You can dress up in whichever-whatever-however way you want to and in case someone criticizes you and says that you’re trying too hard, darling you are trying just right.

The only limit to street style is YOU.

Mix and Match-

Play with different fashion aesthetics and make an outfit that represents who you are that day. Street wear is all about mixing and matching fashion aesthetics. To be on the safer side try to match two total opposite aesthetics, find the balance between boujee and comfy in your outfit, you can also go for color blocking technique.

Here are a few genre-mix that are easy to work with:

• Bohemian and Sporty
• Tomboy and Chic
• Formal and Artsy
• Techwear and picnic bitch
• Punk and Formal
• Bratz and Sporty

Indian streets-

Can Indian streets really accept a fashion aesthetic that is breaking the conventional mindset towards fashion? Well, I have witnessed many beautiful outfits on the streets recently but the ratio is still 1:100 which clearly implies that India is slow

But the good thing is that India is progressing and people are coming out of their comfort zone to showcase their art and we as a part of Indian streets are starting to appreciate their art.

That is all I have for you today. 

Hope you like it

Also I cant emphasize enough on how grateful I am to have this, to have you…

Thank you

I Love Yaaaaaa
