How to Look Good With Retro Street Wear Style Any Season

The most important thing to remember this season in urban style is retro chic.  This can be applied from daily wear right through to clubbing gear.  For winter 2010/11 the on-trend look for street wear is a little more grown up.  Sharp lines are combining with the classic baggy street look to show off figures and create a more streamline, ultra-modern look.

Effortless Modern Style

Retro street wear is ideal for creating a very polished modern style.  There is something very timeless about retro street wear and it never seems to go out of fashion. If you pull this style together well you can look both trendy and casual at the same time.  This can actually be a difficult look to achieve and the key is simplicity. Layer complimentary colours selectively and keep patterns limited to one or two elements of your clothing (for example patterned t-shirt or trousers not both).

Get the Retro Street Wear Look

Here are some key tips to getting this season’s essential retro street wear look:

• Beanies –stripes never go out of fashion and stripy beanies are a big favourite in the cooler months.  Volcom offer a great of classic stripy beanies in both relaxed and tight knits.
• Hoody – for that trendy retro street wear look you need a hoody.  These are worn instead of jackets and coats when the weather gets cooler.  Top street wear names such as Addict, Volcom and Ringspun all provide retro hoodys for that perfect on-trend look.
• Slogan T-shirt – the classic slogan t-shirt is an essential part of the retro street wear fashion.  This season sees strong t-shirt colours paired with eye-catching, simplistic designs.  Popular logos that stay in fashion include war-related images.   Faceless WWII soldiers, guns, tanks and more have all been featured on top selling t-shirts.  For example Rogue Status are offering a striking monochrome print t-shirt with their classic ‘Gun Show’ design.
• Jeans – choose jeans that are well cut but simple for the classic retro look.  These should be straight with a wide leg to provide a more polished look whilst still offering a comfortable and casual cut.  Dark colours are very ‘now’ for the street wear look so opt for dark navy, indigo and black jeans.  Zoo Cut offers some great trendy jeans including their straight leg ‘Blue Raw’ Salvage Jeans.
