We don't discuss actual streetwear that much, this thread is where you can discuss Undercover, Supreme, WTaps, White mountaineering etc and the styling that goes with the typical streetwear style.

Things like that:

just to be clear before this takes off, what would you say defines something as "streetwear"?

Casual clothing that comes directly or takes its inspiration from subcultural lifestyles viewed through the prism of urban living, it can be the tech wear of arc'teryx veilance or the punk cues of Undercover or the hype skateboarder of Supreme or the wacky mountain sportsman of white mountaineering or the geeky hiphop of Bape. Note that when it comes to editorials and stuff like that styling may be more important than actual brands.

I can even settle for some Rick Owens cholo-esque looks, surprise me!

Does this include Hypebeast brands such as 10Deep, Mishka, and the like?

Although a lot of them can be or are pretty derivative, one can't easily discount their importance in the streetwear scene.

If you want, you can post brands that you think suck if the look itself doesn't.

AMIDOINITRITE????

I am, of course, kidding.

Real talk: I've always been a fan of this look for some inane reason:

I know it's not gonna get me much love around here and it's certainly nothing new or groundbreaking, but it's just simple and in my mind it works really well as an overall aesthetic. Not sure if this is quite in the spirit of the thread, but this has always been the sort of understated streetwear style I've liked.

I would think that the goal here is editorials/complete looks.

yes.

Some stuff from TUNE, which is just streetstyle, but still streetwear. Will maybe put together a DIPSET post since it's time paisley bombers and fur everywhere came back.
