Even though I don't approve of any of that....

if you're wearing suspenders, they're called braces... don't do "clip-on" suspenders... and if you're wearing braces or "suspenders," don't wear a belt. Regardless, your braces/suspenders should never be seen either.

I think you've completely missed the mark. The outfit you just posted is "preppy", not "hipster". "Hipster" clothing is usually defined by tennis or boat shoes, tight skinny jeans, a deep-v t-shirt, a flannel overshirt, and ray bans.

Most of all, I think you should dress like yourself, instead of trying to fit into a label.

Hipster? Hardly. If you really want to hoe that row, here are some tips.

I'd switch the pants for a pair of white denim. Gap or Levis are cheap.

I am confused. Are you trying to look preppy or hipster?
If preppy, it's a fail. As for hipster, I am familiar with the look(s),
but don't really know the paradigm.
