So you caught an episode of Girls on your Satellite TV premium channels and you want to start dressing like a Hipster. It’s relatively easy but you need a few crucial items to make the whole look come together – we’ve got a short shopping list you can use as a guide:

Believe it or not, there is more to hipsters than their clich thick-rimmed glasses, vintage clothing, skinny jeans, and big messy hair.

A hipster’s attitude defines their hipster ways, not the way they dress.

Hipsters simply do not care. They wake up every morning with the intention of not fixing their hair, not caring what other people, and not caring what they themselves do. more…

Okay. The concert is on Friday, and you want to be cool. Really cool, and comfortable. There are some rules about hipster fashion that have to be observed at all times:

Know what the Hipster Movement is really about. We are counter to designer labels, spa treatments, and most clothing over one hundred bucks unless they are a cool pair of Doc Martens.
