The taste of the ‘street’. Let’s discover together the new street style trends and the proposals of the top brands

Street style is one of the most popular trends in contemporary fashion. The term ‘street style’ refers to the clothing worn by ordinary people, often photographed by paparazzi or fashion bloggers while walking through the streets of cities. Street style fashion is characterised by a wide variety of styles and influences, ranging from punk rock to hip-hop, from skateboarding to Japanese fashion. People who adopt street style often dress creatively and unconventionally, trying to express their personality through their clothing. One of the most important elements of street style is freedom of expression. Clothes do not have to be expensive or designer, but should reflect the personality of the wearer. This is why street style often takes the form of a mix of clothes of different styles, brands and trends. Accessories are another important element of street style. Earrings, bracelets, rings, hats, scarves and sunglasses are just some of the accessories used to customise one’s look. Street style was also influenced by the street fashion trends that developed in Japan in the 1980s. In this context, street fashion took on a strong cultural and youth component, becoming a means of expressing one’s individuality. Japanese street fashion has influenced street style worldwide, with its colourful, bold and often surreal style. In recent years, street style has become increasingly popular, thanks to the use of social media such as Instagram and TikTok. Fashion influencers have started posting photos and videos of their street style, creating a domino effect that has led to more and more people becoming interested in this trend. Street style has also influenced fashion catwalks. Many clothing designers have incorporated elements of street style into their collections, using more informal fabrics and shapes and adding fun and original accessories. Michele Franzese Moda has selected for you some top brands to keep an eye on for new street style trends.
