Indie Fashion

This is like Indie fashion. I think in order to get my music magazine pictures right I must understand what a typical indie person would wear therefore allowing me to replicate it on the model that I will be using whether that is myself or somebody else.
The Cardigan is used by many indie bands to create a retro type of look. This one is blue to make him seem slightly more modern but a simple grey or black cardigan is often used as well in the indie fashion world.
Hoodies. Although Hoodies are normally associated with Rap many indie people may wear them for casual appearances such as walking down to the shops or going round a friend’s house. There are clear differences from type of hoodie that an Indie person might wear compared to gangster rapper. An indie one is normally slimmer and a tighter fit around the body compared to a gangsters who would have theirs loose. An indie hoodie often is simple patterns for example this one is chequered or it could be plain.
Checks are very important to the indie fashion. We see checks in the man’s scarf and also on the boy’s hoodie. Check shirts are worn by many indie people.
Jeans are the most common type of trousers worn by indie people however chinos are sometimes worn. Most Jeans worn by Indie people are skinny jeans. The main type of shoe i found out was the converse, however the plimsole is also worn by many Indies, the boat show also seemed to be in fashion.
The whole Indie scene is very retro and things such as cardigans, boatshoes and checkered shirts have been re-introduced into the fashion world by Indie after stints in the past.
The long hair in males is something that is around in many different types of genre however Indie is one of these, hair is often wavy and made to seem out of control.
