Bape Inspired Outfit On A Budget

We all have been inspired by the wave of Luxiorous Streetwear from Yeezy, Off White or Bape in some way. One of my favorites is Bape. Mainly for branding as a marketing student I can tell what is Bape a mile away & what is authentic. I can always tell by there distinguished camo print. No other print had that signature look along with IT G MA Stitched on top of the hoodies, full zipper hoodies, and pointed Shark-like hoods. Also to the bold color choices mixed in the camo from orange to pink or purples.

My layered look was inspired by Bape's infamous camp print & Neon orange hat based on there bright color choices. Only difference was this outfit was less then $100 unlike a full Bape outfit. So one of the ways I really enjoy fashion is layering. Layering is key in Oregon with all the rain we have, so layering has become a big part of my signature style. Along with trying to find statement outwear since a coat or jacket is the usual uniform. I found this one at Nordstrom Rack originally from Topshop. Seasonal trick I bought this last spring it's cheaper to buy out of season garments in the next season instead of the season of. The Carhartt hat is from Freddies, Carhartt has been one of my go to brands for beanies now, and jeans are from Topshop. Shoes are Nike flyknits in grey thrifted from Buffalo Exchange and pretty much free because I sold clothes & traded the value for the shoes instead of getting cash back. I always come across pretty new kicks at Buffalo so if your in needs of shoes try there! Then a white & black baseball tee under it has a color balance when the jacket isn't fully zipped. Overall, this look is casual, comfy with hints of streetwear. It's great for beating the cold winter days or rain falls.

For Hair I did two braids this is my go to under beanies it keeps the hair in place especially when you're out and about. If I don't my hair get's caught in my coat & all my ladies with long hair can understand. Then for makeup I kept it in the neutral tone colors. No bold eye colors or Bold colored lips. I had a dark brown smokey eye & brown lip. Natural yet vampy and edgy for the streetwear vibes. I used my favorite liquid lipstick that got me into vampy lip colors of Salem by Limecrime. To this day my favorite color & formula. I been meaning to get another.

Hair: Just regular braids

1. Braid hair & then loose them so they don't look fitted

3. Use Sally's super stretch hair bands much better then those clear jelly ones (No Breakage)

2. Apply Aveda's smooth fusion heat protection spray

3. Use a chi hair straightener to make the braids look fuller (I have thin hair)

4. Your set! Throw a beanie on
