If there’s one thing every street style enthusiast swears by, it is dressing true to one’s own identity. From the fashion weeks of London, New York, Paris, India, and Milan, today’s BandraRoad post will simply prove the same correct! Yes, the images below are taken from social media during fashion weeks around the world and I’ve split them into 5 simple schools of street styles.
1. School of quirk
Colours, pop prints, 3D applique patterns, textures and graphics that are plain bonkers. But there’s a thought behind the jarring look of these folks and they own every inch of it.

2. The statement school
If they’re thinking it, it probably manifested on their outfit in some way, shape or form.

3. Old School of Rock Legends
As mentioned in our piece on the history of British Street Style, a lot of fashion truly is based off rock stars and hip-hop legends. At fashion weeks, these inspirations come into play in full volumes.

These guys have figured it all out. They’ve nailed the art of turning clothing references and inspirations into comfortable style without being boring by any description.
