ON THE STREET Hype fashion might be a new concept to some, but for Joel Sangster it’s second nature. Aspiring singer Joel knows how to style modern pieces with ease and create street style looks that are Instagram perfection.
What is your style? My style is to aim to be on trend and to stand out in a room full of people. What is most of your wardrobe made up of? Street wear and hype fashion, I like to follow the current fashion trends. Plus, lots of Nike shoes, my room and wardrobe are full of Nike boxes. What are you loving at the moment? Colour combination outfits. What are you dressed for today? I’m dressed for a casual day out in town. I am wearing an ilabb cream and forest green tee with Element cargo pants, both from Backdoor. On the feet we have some Air Jordan 4 Retro SE Neons. On the right wrist I have on an Iced Guess Frontier watch and on the left wrist I have a pearl and cuban link chain bracelet to match the pearl and cuban link chain necklace, with an extra sterling silver chain with a cupid pendant on there. Where do you buy most of your clothes from? Online shops such as Culture Kings and Factorie and sometimes I shop in Nelson at stores like Cotton On, Hallensteins and Backdoor. I buy most of my Nike Air Jordans from private sellers and will even do trades to get the pair I’m after. What is your approach to shopping? I buy what I really like. Sometimes I spend a lot at once and sometimes I buy just one or two things, depending on the price. What is your all-time favourite purchase? My Guess blinged-out watch from Pascoes in the Richmond Mall. What wardrobe item should everyone invest in? Definitely a good Jordan 1 or 4 shoe. Do you have a style rule you always obey? The pieces have to go together no matter the outfit, and add accessories. If you could raid one person’s wardrobe, who would it be? Harrison Nevel off Youtube, he probably has the best shoe collection. Finish this sentence – You would never catch me wearing… Anything that doesn’t make me stand out.
