I’ve never really gotten into trends much, but recently I’ve found myself drawn to the hipster style for the retro/vintage feel mixed with a little modern quirkiness. Now this post title mentions a ‘new trend’, yes I know this style of clothing isn’t ‘new’, I believe it’s been around for quite a few years now. It is new for me however, and I think alot of other people. I’m definitely not a hipster as in the whole lifestyle, but I do love the clothes for a few reasons:

• Vintage/op shop pieces work really well, which means a new outfit on the cheap, and pieces that no-one else has
• It’s very eclectic, you can mix old with new, quirky with cool etc.
• Hats and glasses! My first foray into this style was with wearing the hipster looking hats and glasses. I’ve always been a huge fan of these accessories, and now they work so well with my new style
• Bring back the 90′s dresses! Do you remember those floral printed dresses that were popular in the 90′s? I am a huge hoarder and held onto some of mine, and for the first time in over 15 years, they’re coming out of the closet.

Where do you find hipster clothes you ask? Obviously for the second hand stuff I go to my local opshops. For new dresses, skirts, tops and jeans I’ve been loving online stores like Urban outfitters and this store called Shoppeclique which is just for hipster clothes.

Perhaps if you’re not fully into the trend, you can get some inspiration on how to update all those old pieces of clothing you have in your wardrobe if you’re a hoarder like me!
