Well another week has come and gone and this week was officially declared Hipster Awareness Week! Hipsters are people that tend to have their own sense of style and I have never really known exactly what a hipster is so this is a quest to discover who hipsters really are. 

 

 

 



 

 

 

Tip # 1: Hipsters must live by this wonderful saying that "if you like you should put a beanie on it!" The ultimate way to wear a beanie as a hipster is to have it barely hanging on your head, this is known as a "slouchy" beanie and is all the rage in the world of those whom are hip.

 

 

 

 

 

Tip # 2: Hipsters love to wear things that are very tight. Tight jeans are all the rage and if you roll up the tight jeans at the bottom then you are very "hip." Another realization that I came to this week as far as celebrating an unknown life of a Hipster is that they are either one or two things A: Freezing all the time. or B: Warm clothes are just more stylish.

 

 

 

 

Tip # 3: Hipsters always color coordinate in some ways and these things that the women folk refer to as "accessories" are very important in becoming a legit Hipster. Things such as accessories are classified as glasses of all shapes and colors, scarfs, beanies, jackets, etc. The more the that you have the better you look.

 

 

 

 

 

Throughout my week as a Hipster I realized that I did not shave once, never let a hair product touch my normally groomed hair, and that I was very noticed around campus. Clearly it was a great way to be noticed and it was almost a way of taking the easy way out and looking fashionable while doing it. The life of a Hipster is a great one and now that I have had an inside look at this style that is becomming all the rage I have a new found respect for these wonderful people. Stay tuned for the next inside look to a style change!
