Heading back to school? Let this shopping guide provide the beat for your breaking style.
A yellow school bus is a quaint concept; your metro card gets you to class in the morning. Your skill set includes a back spin and an airchair. You’re a b-girl or a city life appreciator. Either way, let your bodacious urban fashion shine through with these style moves.
Must Own
- Multi Colored Sneakers- The freshest kicks can show off your top rock in a unique way. Go with throw-back sneakers that are multi-colored and fun. High tops speak to the original breaking crews, also Pumas and Adidas line shoes. Rolland Barry’s line for Reebok is explosive with color combinations and a worthy splurge.
- Hoodie- A hoodie means the difference between a winning headstand and being served. Hooded jackets are the touchstone of urban style and come covered in graffiti prints and everyday wear-friendly patterns. Chose ones that fit well and complement daily wear. Check out this cute pink hoodie with a boom box blazed across the front.
- Colored Jeans- Grab a pair of funky vibe colored jeans and let your status of b-girl be clear. Chose slim or classic fit in traditional crayon box colors like royal blue and purple. If unsure about the look, black and dark rinse always works too.
- Trucker/Fitted Cap- A cute cap is urban flair. The new wave of caps replaces the Kangol hats of yesteryear in a style friendly way. Check out your school dress code before wearing one to class and if it's prohibited, save it for the courtyard.
- Gold Bamboo Earrings- Every urban princess has her bamboo earrings. Preferably with their name scrawled across the hoop. Be no exception. Bamboo earrings are beautiful and full of fun. A word of prudence: in 14K gold they can be expensive in the larger sizes that b-girls crave. If money is tight, try eBay for deals.
- Perfect fit T-shirts- Under your brand-new hoodie wear a bright and lively t-shirt. Chose bold colors and a nice fit. The brand Forever 21 has a good variety at prices that feel like flashback to the original days of breaking.
- Track Jacket- Since the '80s. track suits have typified the wardrobe of people who belong to a rhythm nation. Track suits do not have to be nylon or cheesy; let yours reflect the modern twist on the urban classic. American Apparel, the cheeky casual wear store, has a track suit that will stand the test of time, meaning take you from first semester all the way to second without losing its cool.
