lookbook By Gabrielle Van Meurs
We've talked about the history of clubs from Bristol to Berlin but what about the best part of a night out, the outfit? What you wear can be what makes you really enjoy the night. I know for us, the creators of Outer, the getting ready part of the night before you even venture outside is one of our favourite parts. We have put together three looks each using clothes from three different styles: street wear, cyber and grunge. You can use these as inspiration to create your own looks and learn a bit about the where these styles grew from!
STREETWEAR AND RAVE FASHION This look is inspired by street wear, a style that has been around for over 40 years. Originally street wear was just a name to describe comfy clothes linked to skateboard and surfing culture. People like Shawn Stussy who originally started out making surfboards then branched out into making t shirts and so they became a symbol of people who like to surf. But as it progressed the brands that were seen the most evolved to become more of a statement than the clothes themselves, like Adidas. Nike etc. Because of how comfortable, casual and now high fashion street wear has become wearing them to clubs,raves and festivals has become a popular trend. Just the brand logos themselves have become the ultimate accessories. Here we paired a pair of classic Adidas shorts with a simple, bright red bodysuit to stick with the theme of casual athleticism. To make the look more wearable in colder weather we layered leggings underneath and finished it off with a pair of iconic Adidas tennis shoes. Depending on your own style you could stop here but we added a lot of accessories like huge hoops and layered necklaces to bring more drama to the look.
