In recent years we are seeing an increase of youths creating their own spin on fashion. Street fashion allows teens to be unique and belong to a subculture of their own. The clothes that are featured in a “street fashion” wardrobe are usually urban and allow people to speak out via the clothes they wear. Each street style is different and reflects the person sub-culture and potentially their personality. Ritzy believe clothes say a lot about you as a person, for example throwing on joggers and an old t-shirt resembles laziness to some but to us it screams “CBA!” Here Charlie Boothby (pictured left) is wearing all black, and his clothes are usually linked to the skate sub- genre. Mixing clothing with belts and hats can give a different feel to the look you are trying to achieve. For example wearing baggy t-shirts with belted jeans gives a smart casual look to passers-by.
