Hey… snap out of it! Staring at your wardrobe won’t help you create your outfit. You’ve got great items in there, you just need help piecing them together.
Hey fashionistas,
Welcome back to another Top 5 list. Here’s a link to part 1 if you missed it. Don’t freak out, I’ve got your back. Your homie here’s gonna make sure you leave your house looking snackalious! So, sit back and relax because here’s some inspiration to get your creative juices working again… omg I sound like a mom, lol.
And one other thing. If you see big brands, don’t worry. I don’t expect you to have money for all these items. Simply replace them with something else. Awe.

I’ve constructed another top 5 list of some classic streetwear outfits.
Now sit back, relax, and I’ll provide you with inspiration for your next sick ‘fits.
No. 1
– Chanel Dress Shirt (thrifted)
– H&M Mock Neck
– Simple Black Trousers (cropped)
– Adidas x Raf Simons Velcro Stan Smith
The first thing I think of when I look that this outfit is finesse, ey! It’s clean, smart, classy, boujee, ratched… see what I did there, ; p. AnyWho. The Chanel button-up shirt is the main piece of this outfit, but there are a lot of other subtle details in it. The H&M mock neck is an example, in black sihouette mode with drip-drip chains hanging down and tucked into the belt, and with the velcro Stan Smiths. All the subtle details collectively upgraded this outfit and that’s why it made it on this list. You can tell that there was a lot of attention to detail in every item, they all had a reason to be worn. So definately pay attention to detail.
Moving on.
No. 2
– H&M T-shirt
– Zara Trousers
– Adidas Stan Smith
Tells talk about this outfit… So colour-wise, this ‘fit is coordinated. You’ve got the black t-shirt, black socks, black stripes on the trousers.. its consistent. The frilly bits on the socks at subtle detail which works so well especially with the white sneakers, so really pay attention to detail. I’m liking the pattern of the trousers, honestly, I stan a trendy pattern trouser. And at the moment, I like the idea of tearing apart smart casual and turning into a more accessible trend. And finally, let’s take a moment to appreciate the t-shirt. The word “love” in a Gothic text is really cool… Lowkey tho, it looks really similar to Vetements (just saying). Besides that I really think it’s a sick shirt.
No. 3
– Carharrt Beanie
– H&M Trousers
– 2001 Supreme Crewneck
– Converse One Stars
You probably noticed it’s a skater look. You can see it from the converse, baggy sweatshirt and the beanie. It’s true-to-form classic skater and that’s something I appreciate about it. I like the brown. You never actual see brown getting utilised so it’s nice to see it work. And the H&M trousers with the square patterns, fresh af. Chilled black socks, and finishing off with the red converse. These are load pieces that he’s put together. As I said, you don’t usually see brown being used and there’s the red converse. These two complement each other tho. So in my opinion, this outfit is balanced.
Moving on..
No. 4
– Flamingo Stradivarius T-shirt
– Beige, Light Khaki Trousers
– Thrifted Bag
– Puma Match
So the reason why I added this outfit to this list is because the whole outfit is clean but slightly colourful. You’ve got pastel beige tones with a light pastel pink. It’s every subtle and clean. The trousers are also pleated which is a nice touch and they have a wide fit, which is trendy. Subtle details – tucking in your shirt, secret socks, white shoes, and the classy thrifted bag.
And here’s a quick pic of Leonardo DiCaprio’s casual Wall for Wall Street vibe.
The outfit actually has a lot going for 80s. All-in-all it’s neat and subtle with the colours on point and nothing too invasive.
Moving on..
And lastly, no. 5
Here we actually have to outfits and we’re gonna be looking at both.
Our sister on the right:
– Flying Tiger Waist Bag
– H&M Sweater
– Daniel Welllington Watch
– Burberry Style Trousers (thrifted)
– Ray Ban Glasses
The Burberry trousers are so sick and wavy. I like the colour scheme of the outfit. She’s gone for a black pattern with a bright, loud, fanny pack. Even though these pieces contrasted trouble, they work together really well. Definitely, the trousers are the main piece of the outfit ’cause they draw your eyes towards them. Awesome colours and patterns. She kept it simple at the top, smart, while adding a bright orange fanny pack making itself known.
And
Our sister on the left:
– White Tommy Hilfiger Sweater
– Eastpak Wasit Bag
– Bershka Trousers (pin striped)
– Also Black Glasses
And on the left, the pin striped trousers which really just do it for me. I’m fanning on trouser trends atm; pin stripes, check squares, whatever. It’s cool to see how the focus on an outfit has moved from the top to bottom. So with this outfit the eyes are drawn to the trousers, while the top end holds it’s self.. yeah *shrugs*. It’s a clean monochrome outfit with subtle details bring it up; the black watch, black chain and black glasses. At the end, it’s just an all round solid outfit.
I see you. You’ve figured out your next snackalious ‘fit. I knew you could do it, bro. Bet it’ll look supa fashion-forward, you fashionista.
