Hipsters are all the rage this year. These not quite bohemians are artsy, Converse-lovers who listen to vinyl records and draw for fun. Their photographs are always sepia-filtered, and they own more beanies than a resident of Antarctica. Okay, pause. This isn’t all completely accurate; not every hipster is quite that hard core. But, they stereotypically have one or more of the qualities listed above. However, you don’t necessarily have to play the part to look it; so if you want to have that hipster-eqsue style but have no idea how to work a record player, don’t fret. Here’s how to do it:
1) Buy a Beanie
Hipster cannot get enough of the beanie. You’ll need to get one in black or charcoal grey. Wear it with sweats or with jeans; the options are honestly endless. Hipsters pair beanies with just about every outfit. Luckily they’re nice and warm.
2) Rock a Graphic Tee
Wild fox has the best graphic tees, and if you want to be hipster, look for the most “vintage-y” one you can find, and slip it on under your over sized jacket. You’re sure to make a statement.
3) Invest in a Flannel
These cozy button-ups are a must-have if you want the wardrobe of a hipster. They are a signature staple in the life of a hipster; luckily they come in an immeasurable amount of colors and patterns. Pair this with your graphic tee for maximum hipster points.
4) Throw on Some Chucks
A pair of Converse is essential to obtain the hipster look. Get high/low tops or black/white; any pair will do. Pair these with jeans, your beanie, and you’re set.
5) Dye your hair
Take a leaf out of Kylie Jenner’s book and dye a streak of your hair bright blue (or any neon color of your choosing). After this final touch you might as well buy a Polaroid and hang a tapestry above your bed, because you’re officially a hipster.
