NZ streetwear lets you express yourself without a word. Comfortable clothes and fun accessories are perfect for Kiwis who love standing out and proudly being themselves. To get top-notch streetwear that’ll last for years, you need to find a great local shop.
With so many clothing stores to pick from in real life and online, where do you start? Finding your favourite streetwear shop now means you’ll always know exactly where you want to go whenever it’s time to revitalise your wardrobe.
When searching for your new go-to NZ clothing shop, think about these key points:
Look For Streetwear Staples. Streetwear as a whole is a bit hard to put in a box because one defining point of the style is individuality. No matter your vibe, you can find an outfit that matches you perfectly. However, there are certain principles that are very common for streetwear looks, so search for stores that can offer you the following:
Cosy Comfort. One main staple of streetwear is comfort. Outfits are often based on looking good, casual and comfortable. Look for athleisure, oversized tops, breathable fabric and other items that are designed for all-day comfort.
Streetwear Brands. So many streetwear hypebeasts prefer clothes sporting logos from iconic brands like Nike, Billabong and Thrasher. Look through the brands they offer and pick out brands you love and brands you don’t know but would love to try.
Menswear Fashion. Although streetwear is for all genders, menswear styles and traditionally masculine items are generally more popular and universally sought after for casual wear. Consider how you could take a traditionally masculine item, such as a bulky jacket, and add a feminine or androgynous spin to it with the rest of your clothing and accessories.
Contemporary Style. Streetwear outfits are often inspired by modern art and contemporary style. Look for items with fun logos, bold colours and imagery that turn heads for all the right reasons.
Consider Physical Locations And Online Shopping. Both in-store visits and online storefronts have their advantages:
Visiting In Person. Visiting in person is ideal when you want to try clothes on to check their sizing and really get a feel of the clothes before you buy them. Check out the physical address of the store and see if it’s in range for you.
Shopping Online. This offers you the convenience of shopping from home and easily scrolling through a shop’s entire stock without leaving your couch.
Do you want the best of both worlds? Then look for an NZ streetwear store that has both a physical storefront and an online shop. This way, you can shop from home on lazy days and visit the shop yourself when you go out.
Think About Your Personal Style. While there are kinds of clothing that are iconic streetwear must-haves, like hoodies, streetwear is still ultimately about individuality. What kind of clothes do you usually wear? Are there any specific accessories or clothing types you always look at whenever you shop for clothes?
Look through the NZ streetwear shop’s selection and specifically look for what you know you’d look great in. Furthermore, feel free to get creative and try out things you’ve never tried before.
Know Your Budget. How much do you usually spend on clothing? Look through the pieces you’d normally be interested in and consider if they fit into your budget. Remember that while high-quality, branded clothing may cost a bit more than fast fashion pieces, they’ll last longer and look better than lower-quality equilavents. Consider buying clothes that have a timeless style so you can wear them for years and use them for countless outfits.
Of course, you should also check out their clearance section every once in a while for some top deals. Sales change all the time, so make a point to routinely visit the clearance section.
Tops, Bottoms, Accessories, Surf Gear And More. When you find an NZ streetwear shop that offers a bit of everything, then you’ve found somewhere you can go for so many things. Needs some new wardrobe staples? Look at tops and bottoms. How about something to go for a jog in? Check out their footwear. What if you’re gearing up for a fun day on the waves? Then head to their surf gear section.
A store with a range of options means you can simplify your shopping experience while finding everything you need.
