How To Be A Hipster Without Really Trying

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at SMCVT chapter.

 

Hipsters. They’re everywhere. With their Buddy Holly-esque glasses, ironic statement t-shirts, and their strategically ripped jeans, you can spot a hipster from afar.  But once you tell a hipster they are hip, then that makes them not a hipster, because being categorized by society is not cool.  But let’s be real, I see hipsters everywhere, especially in Vermont.

Combat boots, and flannels galore, being a hipster has various stages.  Some stages include sipping tea out of mason jars as you discuss the government shut down and how this will affect your organic shopping sprees at the local market, while others are more severe with your ripped tights, high-waisted shorts while you’re long boarding to class reading Dickens and also listening to that alternative indi band no one knows about because it’s underground and anything else is too mainstream.

But fear not! If you are dying to get into some distressed denim overalls and some jelly sandals, this is your time to shine.  Above I’ve included a diagram breaking down the science behind of becoming a hipster.  Now, you don’t need to wear everything I’ve put above, because that would be super conformist and totally not hipster, so take these tips with a sip of tea from your 89₵ mason jar.

At this point you may be wondering who is the one hipster to rule them all.  The one hipster that has defined the quirkiness  that we have come know and loathe. 

-Everyone take a minute for an ironic drumroll please-

 

JOHNNY DEPP!

 

This picture is the perfect definition of a person who has taken the hipster lifestyle and abided by it ever since. I mean, c’mon, Captain Jack Sparrow was totally a hipster, am I right?

Now go longboard off into the sunset and instagram your food because you are one ironic kid.
