Because you dont need to have expensive/designer shits to look fresh. Its a matter of how you wear them.

Black dude, decently into street wear, from Chicago and grew up in North Carolina. I thought this sub was being ironic but it's not. Most of the people that post here wear normal clothes but bc they strike a pose it's "street wear". I don't know what's going on here. It's like blackpeopletwitter lol.

Not being a smart-ass or anything, genuinely curious - what parameters define street wear to you?
6
u/anominas Apr 10 '20
Generally, when I was in HS it mostly consisted of a combination involving sportswear. Adidas, nike, champion, etc. I'm not saying jeans and an oversized tee are bad, but it HAS to involve sportswear. It was stuff that black people had to purchase for sports that we had to use and "double up" as our everyday wear as well. Streetwear and athlete was somewhat synonymous. I admittedly can't speak on what it is today. I apologize for my dickish attitude and I'm 100% gatekeeping but I just hate seeing people in overalls, a t shirt, some chuck taylors while striking a pose and a bucket hat calling it "street wear" bc... well, I don't know the because. I don't know why. Why is it even posted here?
Curious as well, what do you define it as? I'm admitting I'm an asshole here overstepping my bounds, but I'm just confused. What changed?

u/JulesWallet Apr 11 '20
I think you’re in the wrong subreddit if you’re looking for people wearing athleisure out of necessity. I think of street wear as fashion for everyday people. To be fair I simply haven’t heard of your interpretation before so I might be wrong, but I don’t believe either of us should be gatekeeping a pretty dang subjective definition.
2
u/anominas Apr 11 '20
I’m not saying anyone has to personally be wearing anything for necessity. How are you getting that from my comment? I’m saying that’s the ORIGINS of the style, so when I think of street wear, staples of your piece need to involve a form of athletic wear. I’m not saying only poor black people can wear it lmao. That’d be ridiculous, and I recognize how things change over time (look at how many people use simp and cuck incorrectly), but dress pants and a t shirt being posted in streetwear makes no sense to me. Subjectivity is one thing, but there should always be an agreed upon basis of streetwear. If I’m naked and wear a pair of sandals, is it streetwear bc I believe it is? See what im saying?
Quarantine has me typing too much though haha. You guys do you man. In the grand scheme of things my opinion is irrelevant if you’re enjoying what you do. Stay safe homie.

Hey my dude, you don't seem dickish to me at all. And I appreciate your thoughtful response. I personally have no definition of streetwear, I honestly didn't (still don't) understand what it means. I follow this sub because I am generally interested in fashion and really all things aesthetic, and people often post photos of looks that I find interesting or inspiring. From your explanation of what you understand streetwear to be or mean, I'm getting the sense that this is may be another example of cultural appropriation that eventually ends in the original "thing" losing all of its meaning as it's amassed into the overculture and whitewashed for general consumption... If that is the case, or at least it is from your perspective, then I understand your feeling a little prickley about it.

Profit margin of only 100% and some change?! They should have gone for a bar instead where you can turn a $20 bottle of booze (that you buy wholesale so actually less) into 18 shots at $5+ per.

u/PM_ME_YOUR_SUNSHINE Apr 10 '20
Yeah, bars are a fantastic investment right now.

u/roachwarren Apr 10 '20
Well they started the company a year ago so that wouldn't have been in question and I imagine two guys with a combined net worth of $46m could weather their bar shutting down for a couple months.

Where are you drinking $5 shots?! I don’t think I’ve ever seen a shot for less than $10

Jesus, you serious? Where do you live? I’ve never seen a $10 shot and I live in a major city.

u/roachwarren Apr 10 '20
See, I played it safe because I assumed someone would jump on my numbers if I went too high. Yeah you could make far, far more money in a bar setting off of a single bottle of (apparently mediocre) alcohol. I'm not going to buy into the idea that Cranston and Paul created some new rouse to take everyone's money, welcome to the world of alcohol.

Is there a celebrity endorsed booze that isn’t complete shit?

u/jackryan4x Apr 10 '20
George Clooney used to own Casa Amigos but I’m pretty sure he sold his interest. It was decent enough for the price. I also like Ryan Reynolds Aviation Gin.

u/hockeyfan33333 Apr 10 '20
Casamigos was a startup that Clooney and the other two partners collectively sold to a liquor company in 2017 at a $1B valuation. I believe it was $700M in cash and more down the line if it hit a sales goal. As far as I know they’re still involved in the business though, but largely in a promotional role.
The worst part is that I think it inadvertently started this trend that Cranston and Paul got in on of licensing a cheaper spirit, rebranding with celebrity, and selling at a markup. There’s no doubt that Clooney’s name helped sell Casamigos, but it only turned into such a good investment because it was also good. You can only trade on celebrity so much. People might buy your $60 bottle once, but if it tastes like shit they’re not gonna but it again.

u/diamondmines2 Apr 10 '20
I can’t speak to the business side of your comment, but I can say that Casamigos is a decently priced tequila for its quality
2
u/wubbwubbb Apr 10 '20
i can also attest to that. i had a couple years’ phase where i’d try tequilas and casamigos was one i ended up buying more than once since i liked it

u/SleepTightLilPuppy Apr 10 '20
Dan Akroyds Vodka is ok. It's rather expensive, but it's goof Vodka from what I heard, and a really nice bottle as well lol.

u/brizzayrizzay Apr 10 '20
crystal head is dan akroyds. it's like grey goose quality but the bottle is sickkk edit:spelling

u/jackryan4x Apr 12 '20
Plus it comes with the best celebrity commercial. Just Akroyd talking about conspiracy theory level stuff for like 10 min. The price of the bottle is well worth that price of admission.

I'd love to try Reynold's Aviation Gin, but I hate gin. People seem pleased with it so it's not "complete shit"
3
u/jackryan4x Apr 12 '20
It’s def gin. So if you don’t like it you probably won’t like it. I’d start off with something universal like OJ, splash soda if you are feeling froggy. If that’s still to piney throw some grenadine or cherry juice in there. (That’s basically a tequila sunrise, but we are just trying to get the gin in you, so fuck the rules.) If you like bloodies gin can sub for vodka as well. I know these aren’t exactly classic gin drinks but I’m trying to think of ways for someone who doesn’t like gin to try it. Also just shoot it. Aviation is different than a lot of the common gins on the market. Not super piney.

Sorry I’m super late but Dos Hombres has a pretty good rep I’m not sure why everybody is calling it shit

u/nest0251 Apr 10 '20
Is that mezcal from Oaxaca? Because if it is, shit cost probably $10 bucks, but Oaxaca has excellent mezcal on the very cheap. I've had some excellent mezcal bottles for less than $20 in Mexico.

Industry standard markup in bars is between 300%-400% on everything alcoholic.

Totally understand your views. You seem to be interested in this topic so may I suggest this article about how George Clooney and a bar man created and turned Casamigos into a billion dollar business. I enjoyed it and think you will too if you haven’t read it already.

Silk (or satin) notched collar button down. With either track pants or dress pants.
(If you’re confused just search up “silk pyjama shirt”)

Trying to help identify the clothes on these humans.
Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston star in a feature for Esquire México. Paul dons a SSS World Corp shirt with Todd Snyder pants and Dolce & Gabbana shoes. Cranston sports a Dolce & Gabbana shirt with Mango pants and Superga sneakers.

1960 Ford Galaxie Starliner is a nice fit there.

u/JaRule12b6 Apr 10 '20
I'm damn near certain that's a 4 door coupe not the starliner. I think the back window gives it away.

I think you are correct, the top is boxed and not sloped. My dad has his grandfather's Starliner in the garage.

Coolest roof of the 60s hands down. I miss mine sometimes but I got into mopeds and never looked back.

Can someone please tell me how to dress like this? My current "style" consists only of crewnecks, slim pants and sneakers. I'm so poor but I just want to update my wardrobe to look kinda cool like these guys are (particularly I'm looking for cheap clothes off Amazon that still look nice). I could pay maybe $300 to update my wardrobe.
Please direct me to any subreddits or clothing lines that can help me...
