subject: Urban Wear At Half The Price [print this page] Ever since the hip-hop culture came into being, the growth of urban wear has been phenomenal that even skeptics have been having second thoughts about the absurdity of this fashion line. The funny part is, urban wear can be so main stream and yet so individualistic that most fashion gurus are having a hard time predicting what would be the next in thing.
Urban wear is based on two principles that of being able to move around freely, and that of being able to express ones self without fear of being criticized.
However, although urban wear is constantly changing, the way some items are worn, remain the same.
If you think that in order to keep up with the latest in urban wear you have to spend hundred of dollars, you might need to do some rethinking. Lets start off with the sneakers. Although the latest sneakers would make you an urban wear fashion icon, knowing how to just keep it clean and fresh-looking can also achieve the same effect. If you want to change how your sneakers look, you can just go out and buy a new pair of shoe laces as well as some patchwork that you can sew on your sneaker yourself.
What about those urban shirts? Some online brands sell at half the price of a branded one if you know where to look. Or, you can just let your creative juices flow and create your own design. Once you have your own design, you just need to buy a blank shirt and head to your local printer shop.
Of course, you would need some pants to go with your urban t shirt. Go through your clothes and check if you have with you older yet still in good shape urban clothing. You can then bring these to consignment shops. These shops would usually offer you discounts on their items based on their appraisal of the clothes youd like to give them. Keep in mind, however, that they usually go for branded items.
Now that you have your urban t shirt and jeans, you can start looking for accessories. You dont have to spend much on these as you can do with just a baseball cap that matches your shirt.
