Spring is here! And what better time of year to reinvent yourself than when the plants and animals around you are doing likewise? This season, looking hip and cool may be the focus rather than youthfulness. This is a bit harder to achieve than youth, because being a hipster is a lifestyle choice, and involves small choices on a day-to-day basis.
First thing to tackle is the wardrobe. Through out your high-brow eyewear and slip on a pair of Ray-Bans, or else a lesser known brand with all the street cred, like Alexander MacQueen or Smith. You’ll want to start shopping at thrift shops now. Try to find the most ripped up, low-rise jeans in the store, and grab a few used T-shirts as well. You can class this up by wearing designer, leather shoes and jacket, and doing your hair up 1920’s style. That’s how a hipster rolls.
The next thing to tackle is your diet. Hipsters are vegetarians. You’ll have to get rid of the meat for the season, and anyways killing animals for food is wrong—isn’t it?
Next its time for your attitude make over. Stop reading the papers, stop being informed, stop caring about politics, economics and health and focus 100% on environmental issues, celebrity news and random tid-bits of information also known as useless trivia.
Fourth, lets tackle your mode of transportation. Stop driving and only use public transport. You can use the tube, or else hop on a rickety bicycle and peddle yourself from A to B. To look fashionable while doing so, you’ll want to find a cool, retro helmet and biker’s gloves. Don’t forget to tuck your jeans into your socks.
Five- You can look the look, now talk the talk! Good luck, hipster!
