How To Pull Off The Hipster Look

For Men

It is one of the most commonly searched fashion questions on many search engines. ‘How to dress like a hipster.’ Or ‘How to pull off the hipster look.’

In recent years, the hipster look has become more mainstream. In cities especially, it is also a look that is all about individualism. As well as being non-conformist to mainstream fashion. In fact, many fashion designers have compared hipsters to the hippies of the 1960s.

If you are a man who wants to try this look on for size, it can be tough to know where to start. These are some top tips for starting out as a hipster.

Glasses

In the hipster culture, glasses are always in. Throw away your contact lenses!

Even if you don’t have prescription lenses, it can be worth investing in a pair of glasses. Even sunglasses will do! Or yellow-tinted glasses that reflect blue glare from computer screens. Aim for glasses with thicker rims or frames. Also, it can be worth choosing a range of glasses with different colored rims and lens shapes. Just to mix your look up a bit!

Old is better

Vintage fashion has made a comeback in recent years. Especially throwbacks to the 1950s.

As you may have guessed, in hipster fashion, vintage is in. With a bit of quirkiness added into the mix! Hipster clothing goes far beyond trousers and tops. There is a myriad of accessories to choose from too. Look on websites like burrowsandhare.co.uk for some guidance on must-have items.

Overall, when dressing like a hipster, you need to draw your fashion inspiration from the past. Aim for the 1950s, ’60s, ’70s, and even ’80s for ideas. You can even mix it up with grunge fashion from the early 90s too.

Beards

There are many ways you can work a beard into your hipster look. A beard is in itself a fashion accessory that you can shape and change as and when the mood takes you.

It can be worth investing in beard combs and beard waxes/oils to help you change the shape of your beard. Some men even opt for tying plaits in their beards. Or adding accessories like beads. Think of a more modern-day Jack Sparrow and you see how it can tie in nicely. Or why not try and pull off a look similar to Salvador Dali’s? The sky is the limit with how to wear a beard!

Converse or boots?

Why not both?

Converse sneakers or unbranded sneakers are a great addition to your hipster look. If they are unbranded, you can get a rainbow of colors and designs to go with each outfit.

Boots are also a must-have for the hipster wardrobe. Pretty much any set of boots can bring an outfit together, and why not jazz up the boots with colorful laces?
