What is street style?

As the name implies, street style is fashion stemming from, and inspired by, street life. It’s where everyday and celebrity intersect. And thanks to social media, everyone has a platform to rock the roadways in style — sharing their threads to spread influence.

The history of street style dates back to post-World War II Britain, where rationing impacted everyday women’s wear. This can serve as a potential explanation for the style's utilitarian and practical bent that likes to sprinkle a dash of character into the mundane.

It’s important to remember this origin story because the evolution of street style has stayed close to these principles of clothing, both shaping and representing the social climate. The principles of clothing being for the people — accessible to all. With this power in mind, let’s explore several street-style outfit ideas of today.

 

9 street style outfit ideas

Though street style transcends aesthetics and walks of life, below are just some of the many ways you can style outfit ideas for maximum impact.

 

  1. Thigh-high boots with a big suit jacket

Long boots that zip up above the knee, skimming the thigh, are edgy and endearing — a perfect combination for streetwear. So when you pair eye-catching boots with an oversized blazer, you get an outfit that demands attention. Incorporate denim shorts or a skirt to highlight that balance of length, cuts, and shapes that make any outfit a symphony instead of one note. A dramatic heeled boot with a structured blazer also works well for streetwear's love of mixing traditionally feminine and masculine styles.

 

  1. Matching set with a powerful purse

Step out in style with a matching set and a statement purse to convey a put-together yet casual appearance when running errands or hanging out with friends for Sunday brunch. Light linen sets for summer can take the work out of curating the ideal ensemble. And with a striking leather bag on hand, you always have the perfect pièce de résistance.
