Joggers can be a fundamental base of a streetwear outfit for men… Pair them with hoodies, bomber jackets, or even a casual blazer with a white t-shirt. In the context of streetwear, fashion-forward men have been wearing joggers of all sorts, from sweatpants material to denim or even khaki joggers, with the classic tapered ankle and drawstring waist. These days, joggers are at the forefront of streetwear and are the prime building blocks of a comfortable, yet striking outfit. Streetwear is about the mix-and-match pieces from different brands and cultures that together reflect your own allegiances and interests. The swiftest route to a successful streetwear outfit is a look straight off the shelf.

Trainers are another simple way to make your office togs a touch more contemporary. For an amateur hoodie-wearer I would recommend using it for layering try under a luxe bomber jacket or textured unstructured blazer.” “A hoodie is a simple item to invest in that can transform more traditional attire. “Incorporating streetwear into your wardrobe can be a tad intimidating,” says Arnold. Which is good news if you’ve spent the last decade cultivating a wardrobe of soft-shouldered Italian tailoring and are loathe to toss it all out. Streetwear’s tendrils have crept into every corner of menswear, which means that there are now few outfits that can’t be adapted to the look.

Streetwear brands from the high-end to the high street have swung from slim fits to straight-leg shapes that offer more movement on a skateboard – and are more comfortable off one. Your best move is a silhouette that’s more relaxed than the figure-hugging tailoring of a few years ago but doesn’t make you look like a tent with legs.

“It resonates with people from all walks of life.” Just make sure you get it right for you. “Streetwear is, dare I say it, a ‘lifestyle’,” says Tang. However, the loose fits of modern streetwear outfits aren’t forgiving to those entering their dadbod phase of life. Teenage boys don’t need to stress their silhouette, so they can afford to browse the oversized rail.

In short: you should aim to get streetwear outfits without the logos, or at least keep them tucked away as subtle details. “A lot of brands this season are taking influence from streetwear,” says Arnold, who points to easy-going urban wares from labels like Pop Trading Company and stripped-back pieces from Acne Studios. The grown-up move is to fly below-the-radar, by wearing streetwear labels that are innovative but don’t have teenagers queued up outside their stores. “But an older guy should stick to what they like and what works for them.” “There isn’t an age cut-off for streetwear,” says stylist and photographer Chris Tang. Recognition is currency, so you need to cop the brands that your peers know about: Supreme, Palace, Gosha, Yeezy.
