Winter, do your worst! Monash's streetegists are ready for the chills

Streetegists – experts in street style

THIS HAT IS BEANIE-TH NO ONE!

This winter we are giving a big nod to the beanie. Everyone needs a warm woolly hat to get them through the cold. Whether you’re bound for the slopes or just bracing the chilly winter breeze around campus, a stylish beanie is a must-have. Trendy headgear adds that oomph to any outfit, which is certainly the case with this streetegist. We just love the way this beanie provides the ideal mix of comfort and style. 

THIS IS WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF

Amid the dull blacks and greys of winter, designers have turned the spotlight on bright and shiny metallics. We were absolutely mesmerized by this bag and say, shine on streetegist! Perhaps this iridescent bag had us captivated because of all that metallic colours stand for: power, prestige and lavish luxury. We predict metallic fabrics will be a major component of street style this spring.

OUT OF THE BLUE

Naturally the appeal with wearing neon colours is that you stand out. While they are probably not for your average wallflower, they can add a much-needed punch of colour to any outfit. If you’re feeling intimidated by the big and bright hues, it’s best to incorporate neon into your wardrobe via accessories, something this streetegist has done fabulously with the splash of bright blue in his sneakers. Chic and energetic, this trend is a must for anyone wanting to stand out from the crowd.

A WELL-KNIT BOND

Winter is officially in full force and you definitely don’t want to get caught without the proper accessories. We love the array of winding, draping and knotting that we have seen around campus this semester. Girls with style are definitely taking to the streets in ever-more-creative ways. Whether it be a gorgeous chunky knit scarf, or one in a bright neon or unforgettable pattern, the scarf is an essential this winter.

TEARING IT UP

Obviously there is nothing new about ripped black jeans, but that does not dismiss them as an asset to any wardrobe. Let's be honest, they are seriously cool. Distressed black denim brings to mind off-duty models, rock stars and fashion gurus, who are all very stylish citizens. Simply put, this is the trend du jour. We believe ripped jeans are a testament to effortless style, which this streetegist has certainly pulled off. We say let it rip with a pair of shredded jeans!
