Dissecting the Hipster Style

Is hipster the new prep? Remember when prep was the mainstream look? It's still pretty mainstream, but for people, especially my age (16), hipster is the style to go. Now I don't live the "hipster lifestyle" but I kind of live the hipster style. Even the style is mainstream I still think its a unique style apart from other styles... Maybe not Lady Gaga's style. Anyways I like to divide the teen fashion into three parts.

Gillian Zinser
Miley Cyrus
  First you have the "Hardcore Hipsters". I am     talking everyday: the hipster style glasses (a lot of  people wear the un-prescribed pair), Combat boots, skinny jeans.. I could go on. I usually think emo meets hippy style. On the left we have Miley Cyrus, who I consider a "hardcore". On the right is an actress Gillian Zinser, she is 90210's Ivy Sullivan. She is definitely a "hardcore hipster". But both girls can rock that hardcore look.  







Zooey Deschanel
                                                        Second- "The Prep-Ster":
I would consider myself a prep-ster. I still wear whatever I consider preppy but mix it up with a hipster twist. Every now and then I'll do hardcore hipster, but when I absolutely need to I can switch over to my prep side. I see J.Crew as a perfect combination of prep and hipster. 
I picked Zooey Deschanel, Jess from New Girl, because I think she has the balance of hipster and the girly prep side. If you haven't checked out New Girl, you should. On the show you get to see all of the cute fun things Jess wears. And I would compare her style to Taylor Swift's.


Leighton Meester
Last- The Prep
To me, I think the prep look can be dissected as well. There are so many different ways to go prep. But my favorite prep look would be the Blair Waldorf Gossip Girl Prep Look.
Leighton Meester, whenever she plays as Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl, I always think that she is a prep but a prep with a unique style. Then again, who ever styles GG gets to work with the "A-List" designers to make the looks every Gossip Girl character unique. Blair has pieces that make her hat I admire would be the Gossip Girl Blair Prep Look. Blair is always wearing her cute bow headband and is constantly seen wearing her colored stockings, which complete the signature Blair Look.

So that's my dissection of the teen wearing fashion. 

What's your look? I'd love to know.
