Hipster is not new, the name ‘hipster’ is. Basically, the antithesis of a chav. Fashion is cyclical and if you look down this list most of you that are over 22 will remember some of these in one guise or another. This generation has combined some of the past stylistic staples to form a bold hybrid collection.

I know you all know this but I thought I’d document these relatively cheap fashion items to achieve the look.

1. Flannel shirt (checked shirt) circa £25

There I said it, we all knew I had to but hipster and a lumber jack style shirt go hand in hand, like goth and black and strawberries and cream and…well I think you get it.



2. Beanie baby! circa £10

If it’s cold and haven’t grown out your locks to hipster length just yet then this will cover a multiple of sins including your bed head and last nights fruity vape smoke.



3 . Skinny latte jeans circa £30

Ok I love these and so do the fashionistas. Why? Cause they look great and paired with a nifty set of DM’s you’re bottom half is on the way to sub culture cool.



4. Vintage half frame sunglasses circa £70

Surprisingly, these are one of the most expensive item on the list but boy will you be glad you flashed your cash on them.



5. Doctor Martens circa £75

Preferably cherry reds but hey who cares if they’re official Air Ware DMs. The good doctor has prescribed a classic remedy since the punk/ skin head days of the 70s and why wouldn’t this lot adopt these as their own?



6. Graphic tshirt of your choice circa £20

Danger Mouse, Star Trek, Round the Twist (god I loved that!), Bowie, Iggy it don’t matter just make sure it means something to you. Don’t fake it as you’ll look like a twat when someone who does like it approaches you to talk about it.



Remember these don’t have to be warn together in fact I’d recommend you don’t, they’re just items to mix and match with your own style.

Right you’ve got the tools and £20 to spare so now all you need to do is decide which Sailor Jerry style tat you want and whether to go for a hipster beard or a hipster tash. Good luck whatever you choose but don’t commit too hard as this will only be relevant until the next zeitgeist appears.
