Hello friends welcome to my blog, I hope you’ve been having a fun and wonderful summer.
So, Today we’re talking everything urban from a New York perspective.yay!!My city!!
So you know we’re gonna have a blast right!
let’s get started shall we.
I’ve been wanting to write this post for quite some time now and all sumner I’ve been researching this topic for ideas however nothing really stood out to me.
See, as I stroll through the internet looking for urban style I was surprised what i stumbled upon. Altough I found myself gravitating towards all kind of different stylish looks, ooing and awwing over the latest fashion trends from some of the best bloggers out there,I realize that none of them where really truly urban or even close.
Picture of model style by me I call this look Urban chic.
I saw plenty of street styles and boho chic styles all claiming to be urban but are not.Although, these blooggers all look fantastic in their fashion attire ‘while twirling around and posing fiercely in colorful vintage outfits, holding their Starbucks coffee” very rarely did I stumble upon a true urbanista I know they’re probably out there, girlfriend- however I haven’t found any.
Well, if you happen to know of one or two urban bloggers please share their info below. Cause, Inquiring minds want to know, Darlin
This look is boho often mistaken for urban
So let’s start with the basics -What is Urban fashion
The Urban look like every other look varies. We have Urban street wear, Urban chick, Urban hip hop and everything in between.
Urban style should be a combination of old black Harlem street style mixed with modern and hip hop style. Although main Street fashion have adopted this style as theirs- please know this trend was inspired by Black fashion forward fopks from Harlem. You can read more about the history of Urban fashion here if you’re interested and if you are a urban blogger you should definitely know the history of this trend.
The above picture is perfect example of Urban vintage
How to master the urban look
I have noticed especially in New York that the Urban style is the most popular sought after look among bloggers, artists and fashion trendy folks,.
To pull this look off requires certain patterns of fabric, a perticular hair style that defines the overlook and a certain type of cool and artsy accessories, it’s no wonder this style can be tricky to pull off, Until now Darlin, because I have listed all the staple pieces you’ll need to turn yourself into a total Urbanista.
The urban streetlook requires 3 key elements
- Hip hop clothing such as joggers rip jeans and boyfriend Jeans
- sporty chick top mix with chunky and modern jewelry
- To perfectly execute his look think of mixing sporty and modern than add your own spin to it.

For a unique urban look I recommend addedung these 5 key items to your look.
Lets start with a cool hair style and hair accessories that represent your unique style
Being an urbanista is more than just about clothes and accessories it’s a lifestyle Darlin- urban ladies are highly into culture, art, and music. These fascinating women are also free spirited and and it’s shows not only in their style but also in their living environments. So therefore,it’s only fitting that an urban sister carries a signature bag. Whether you prefer a Clutch or hand bag Rest assure that this bag will represent her individual style and flavor to the T. Urban women are very perticular about their accessories -accessories will make or brake your look. So choose them wisely ladies.
Thank-you all so much for stopping by and hangout with me! 🙂 Darlin
