STREET STYLE – a great source of inspiration

Street Style is a term used in the fashion world that describes the creative clothing  choices of  real people with real style.  It became popular years ago when photographers would capture photos of everyday fashionistas on the streets of major cities and post them online for the world to see.  It quickly became an alternative inspiration for  those who followed fashion and the newest trends.

The emergence of documenting street style has a significant influence in today’s culture.  It allows onlookers to take a variety of looks found globally and combine them all to create ones own individual unique style.   Fashion followers are no longer restricted to only fashion shows and magazine layouts to influence their design choices.

There are many fashion blogs that strictly follow street fashion and I find to be great sources of inspiration .  My favorites are chictopia.com, streetpeeper.com and The Sartorialist
