Streetwear, a trend reserved for rappers and skateboarders? This was certainly true in its early days, but it has long since ceased to be.
All-Hollywood has long adopted these silhouettes combining sneakers, jeans, jackets, sweatshirts, pleated pants or joggers. The greatest designers have also succumbed to these liberated looks and have teamed up with sports equipment manufacturers for ultra-desirable collaborations.
Jacquemus and Nike, Supreme and Yohji Yamamoto and, more recently, Balmain and Puma: every time, the pieces are snapped up. The stars can’t resist these comfortable outfits at the forefront of fashion either. Katie Holmes, Marion Cotillard, Victoria Beckham have all been photographed in streetwear. Even Celine Dion has adopted the trio of loose jeans, XXL sweatshirt and heeled pumps.
Sneakers, the centerpiece of streetwear
Formerly reserved for the gym and running, sneakers are now part of the daily wardrobe. A true icon, the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Seasonal (€60 instead of €75) goes just as well with slim jeans as with a baggy model. Kaia Gerber and Kendall Jenner have several pairs in their closet. With its sportier profile and multicolored sole, the OG 85 N e Skechers (€52 instead of €64.99) is more suitable for a total fleece jogging look. Entirely white and minimalist, Nike’s W Blazer Low ’77 (€62.90 instead of €89.90) are perfect dupes of the Air Force One that the stars adore. Combine them with mini denim shorts, like Hailey Bieber, jogging rolled up on the ankles, Emily Ratajkowski style, or denim overalls, à la Sophie Turner.
The sweatshirt thinks big
Apart from leggings and bras, the streetwear style relies more on loose clothing. The sweatshirt is therefore worn XXL with or without a hood. Top and cuddly toy at the same time, the Leo Cb Hoodie from Levi’s (€39.60 instead of €99) or the Tjw Tommy Center Badge from Tommy Jeans (€59.90 instead of €99.90) are suitable for a sporty or a more feminine variation with jeans or a skirt. You can also bet on a cropped version, as Gigi Hadid likes to do. Combine the Ck Acid Wash – Pink Calvin Klein Jeans sweatshirt (€59.90 instead of €99.90) with leggings or jeans for a perfect casual silhouette. The jogging jacket also allows you to create a streetwear outfit, even if you do not master all the codes. Do you find this trend lacking in glamour? Pair the Elle Tee Dress Daisy Foulard Bw Levi’s mini t-shirt dress (€55 and -10% with the code JAIMELESKI) with a pair of thigh-high boots, as Ariana Grande would do, and you’ve got a femme fatale outfit.
Jeans or jogging, why choose?
The advantage of streetwear is that you have no reason to choose between jeans or sweatpants. Slip on jogging like the Women’S Mid-Rise Pants Nike (€49 and -10% with the code JAIMELESKI) with your favorite pair of trainers and you’re ready for a relaxing weekend. For your streetwear jeans, there’s nothing like a boyfriend fit. IKKS is offering an irresistible light blue high-waisted model (€101.50 instead of €145) to wear, for example, with pumps and a t-shirt, like Miroslava Duma. Of course, the jeans work perfectly with sneakers, a real uniform goes everywhere, adopted by Kourtney Kardashian.
Streetwear is a bold trend that is easy to embrace. The idea is to compose looks combining pieces from different influences. More or less sporty, it will allow you to add originality to your professional outfits and relax in style.
