1- How to dress indie:
All of us heard that we should invest more in the basics while building a decent fashion wardrobe especially when it comes to indie fashion
But the problem is it sucks spending money on clothes that are not exciting or should i say BASIC . but if you want to start your fashion journey you have to start from somewhere and when it comes to indie fashion consider the basics as building blocks for your wardrobe.
Before we start i want to say something first which is that there is no such thing as a wrong look in indie fashion because it is all about independence and individuality
However defining yourself in your outfits can be hard to explore especially considering how many options there are , ultimately the most important takeaway is to follow your own intuition .
The following trendy suggestions are just common between indie people to help you get started.
2-Starting with the basics in this style :
You must be yourself and stop following fashion trends, after all the word “indie” comes from individuality and dress as you like because you are representing yourself after all,
Just make sure that you like what you’re wearing and don’t listen to society’s voice
In today’s age it’s hard to determine if it’s us making the decisions or other people
So be your own captain of your ship,and wear whatever you desire nobody has the right to judge anybody but themselves ...So what are the basics in indie fashion
It’s kind of hard to tell because everybody is different and that's the beauty about it , but there are some similarities in some indie outfits
.women’s indie fashion outfits:
The similarities that we find in this category are:
An oversized shirt or a normal shirt that fits well with some interesting prints combined with baggy jeans and a pair of converses
You can actually design your own converse here and make your own indie shoe, or you could wear just simple white shoes , and of course ,there are accessories involved
Whether are sunglasses or normal blue light glasses and a hat or some jewelry ,there are also some outfits that combine a sweater with a long dress and a pair of boots
These types of outfits are pretty trendy in the indie girl niche .
i recommend checking out Romewe here they sell unique clothing items at good prices.
.men’s indie fashion outfits:
It’s kind of hard to tell what indie outfits that seem to be popular among men these days and that’s no surprise because it’s FREAKING indie fashion that we are talking about here,but there are some outfits that you can try if you're a male reader.
You can try wearing oversized clothes like rocking an oversized simple shirt or a button shirt with slim jeans or chinos and a converse or you could go all out with oversized pants and shirts with simple shoes and a beanie .
If you are still confused you can go on Pinterest and check out some outfit inspiration and build from there …
Quick disclaimer I’m not saying that you should dress up like this i’m just showing you what is popular in this community, in order to inspire you or give you a head start
if you don’t feel comfortable wearing these outfits, it doesn’t matter it’s indie fashion after all, so be independent in your style

3-Pick the right stores when you shop:
Avoiding big brand names and mainstream stores is one of the most indie things to do if you want to pull off the indie fashion aesthetic because you are not following fashion trends or want to impress people with designer clothes that have there brand logo printed on their shirts
You are not here to advertise for them you just want to express yourself with clothes you feel comfortable wearing and looks beautiful, so where you could find unique pieces to style
the theme, try looking into independent stores and fashion designers thrift shopping and local boutiques are an amazing place to start looking and fashion magazines you will find most of the time brands that are not as popular as other mainstream brands and usually cheaper to get, which means that you will be most of the time noticed for your fashion style
and choices, in addition to that it is more eco friendly when you shop at a thrift shop, and again I’m not saying that mainstream brands and big stores
Are bad , you can wear clothes from big stores and mainstream brands if that is more like your style I’m just saying what is popular in the indie fashion space
4-Become creative with styling your clothes:
When it comes to being creative you should just try to find your own aesthetic , the one you feel comfortable wearing and most importantly confident , stop believing in the hype ,
Weather you watching videos or reading stuff online or listening to your friends that tell
You, how you should wear your clothes, the whole idea of indie fashion is that there is no rule or a look that you have to abide by .
Rocking an indie look is a very broad thing to do because there is a lot of ideas and inspiration to choose frome, that’s why it is important to know your own style of indie fashion, and to do that you must ask yourself what is actually your own aesthetic
And that will help you to refine your look
Now that you know that you shouldn’t follow fashion trends and the hype,start looking at your preferences whether you prioritize comfort or simplicity , or maybe you like certain type of colors ….etc. .
5- layer your clothes:
If your someone who is very chilly, you should try layering your clothes start mixing different patterns and colors who know you might be surprised with the end product,
And that’s the beauty of it since your not following any rule or fashion idea.
And it goes without saying that when you rock clothes that you love makes you more confident and happy .
Conclusion:
When it comes to indie fashion there is no clothing essentials or basics, that you should buy in order to start your indie journey, the whole idea of indie fashion is to be your own self it is not just an outfit it’s more like a lifestyle, so if you want to be indie and follow what i wrote above and of course your own intuition, then you are already indie.
