NYC Hipster Uniforms

Cut Off Shorts & Stockings Are Unofficial Look of Summer 09

— June 10, 2009 — Fashion
I don’t know about the rest of the world, but New York City has certainly gotten the Spring/Summer fashion memo that cut-offs and stockings are back.

Better than ever, you can’t walk a block in the East or West village without spotting this sorta-euro, sorta-grungette style on a girl. Pair with white, slightly oversized t-shirt, shrunken blazer and gladiator sandals, and you’ve got the official hipster uniform for 2009. Bonus points for adding a straw panama hat.

Seen in the gallery, following the lead image, are cut-offs on Erin Wasson, Zoe Kravitz, Kate Moss, Mary-Kate Olsen and Nicole Richie.
Trend Themes
1. Cut-off Shorts - The resurgence of cut-off shorts in New York City presents an opportunity for fashion brands to innovate by incorporating sustainable materials or adding unique embellishments.
2. Stockings - The popularity of stockings paired with shorts among hipsters in NYC opens up avenues for textile companies to create eco-friendly and durable stockings that can withstand warm weather.
3. Hipster Uniform - The widespread adoption of the hipster uniform in NYC presents an opportunity for fashion retailers to curate collections that cater specifically to this style aesthetic, incorporating elements of vintage, grunge, and European influences.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion Brands - Fashion brands can tap into the trend of cut-off shorts and stockings to create innovative designs and cater to the demand for sustainable and durable clothing options.
2. Textile Companies - Textile companies can seize the opportunity to develop eco-friendly stockings that are both comfortable and resistant to heat, catering to the needs of the hipster fashion trend.
3. Fashion Retailers - Fashion retailers can capitalize on the popularity of the hipster uniform by curating collections that embrace the distinct style and capture the attention of hipster-conscious consumers.
