Swag style in clothes

Youth culture has many directions. Today, brightness, catchiness, and the ability to stand out are at a premium. The swag style meets these requirements. You won't find elegance or sophistication here.

The main features of swag are sporty chic, brands and the use of acidic colors in clothing, hairstyle, manicure and life.

What is the style, meaning

If translated literally, this abbreviation means “money, freebies, crime, gold, dirty valuables" and any similar things. In general, the origins of this trend can be found in African-American culture in the 70-90s. Those times were the “era of survival”; the purpose of life was considered to be profit by any means.

Swag is not only a certain appearance, it is cars, houses, furnishings, everything that can tell about the wealth of the owner. But There is no place for presentability, formal business attire, or minimalism. Everything is bright, acidic, artsy. Boasting brands, logos, money, an abundance of gold and expensive things is encouraged.

By the way, the high cost is “flashy” and “provocative”.

Stylistic features

The priority genres are oversized, sporty glamor, kitsch, street style, grunge, even boho. Distinctive features here include:

Eye-catching colors. The most common colors are black, white, pink, fuchsia, red, animal prints, space, cartoon, American flag, jeans. Of course, this is not a complete list.

Provocative street style clothing. Everything is defiantly bright, branded, angular and glamorous. T-shirts, ultra-short shorts, ripped jeans, crop tops, voluminous hoodies - all options are worthy of attention.

Maximum visible inscriptions, brand logos, stripes, stickers and other similar attributes. Moreover, they must be truly original. Huge prints, giant labels, drawings and images belonging to the world's most popular swag idols.

Deliberate negligence in the image. What is needed is a style that would speak of belonging to the street, but would be neat and “cost a decent amount of money.” All details of the ensemble, even torn jeans, should be expensive.

Hats. Rappers, baseball caps, scarves, headbands, turbans, beanie hats are leaders in the direction. At the same time, a modest minimalist accessory does not fit into the concept. Mandatory labels, inscriptions, bright colors and other stylistic attributes are required.

Sports sexuality in female images. An open belly, leggings, ultra-short shorts – some parts of the body must be “in sight”.

Matching Accessories. Bright massive jewelry, glasses, watches, belts, suspenders - everything is welcome, and even in large quantities. For carry-on luggage, leather backpacks, belt bags, and bags with grunge attributes work well.

Bright hair and manicure in women's ensembles. Swag ladies often dye their hair or the ends of their hair in acidic colors - fuchsia, pink, blue, green. Nails are a work of art. Cartoon compositions, brand logos, glamorous images and other catchy elements are welcome.

Tattoos, piercings. They are considered an essential part of a swag style look. There are no special stylistic requirements here, but “cutting the domes” is still not worth it. Beautiful tattoos are welcome, with a bit of glamor or a rapper theme.
