Fashion Glossary Friday: Hipster Style

Fashion Glossary Friday is going to be a weekly series of posts that creates a glossary of different fashion styles. These posts will also feature thrift store finds exhibiting the style of the week.

This week's post is dedicated to Hipster style. Hipster style is an appropriate first post for my Fashion Glossary because it has its roots in inexpensive thrift shopping. 

Merriam-Webster defines a hipster as a person who is unusually aware of and interested in new and unconventional patterns (as in jazz or fashion). In other words, Hipster style is characterized by its non-mainstream sensibility. 

Like I mentioned above, the way hipsters originally achieved this counter culture aesthetic was by shopping for unique clothing at thrift stores.
