Seattle Street Style

[Bixby]

^^ You usually don't see the really good outfits Downtown.. they're mostly on Capitol Hill, which is predominantly young art-hippie-ish kids and gays, and Univeristy District, which is mostly college students--where you'll find more of the Lindsay Lohan/Britney Spears kind of style.

I live just outside of Seattle and every time I go down, even to Capitol Hill, it's nothing amazing.
But thanks for posting all of that.

You're welcome

I wish I had my camera this morning on my way to work. I saw this girl on the other side of the street wearing a sweater, either shorts or a mini-skirt--I couldn't tell, adorable boots... but she had a bandana tied around each knee and it looked... weirdly cute. It's just one of those looks that can't really be explained... and it sounds horrible--but she pulled it off.

Stoopid me. I'm taking my camera everywhere now.

I agree. There's plenty of interesting characters around in Seattle.
I wanted to start a street style photoblog, but I don't have a decent camera, and I live in the suburbs and don't go downtown that often. Bixby, if you want to collaborate on something like that, let me know.

I'm looking forward to this. I've always thought Seattle has a very unique look.

Sorry for the delay in taking & posting my own street style pics. Mid-terms were last week so now I can focus on my mission... if I so choose to acce--just kidding. Okay. Here's some people from The Hill.

I go to school in Seattle so it's very exciting to see this thread. It makes me feel like I am in one of the style capitals of the world!

In #27, is that guy in the hat Santino from Project Runway? It sure looks like him.

I will say that it's very seldom that I see anyone dressed cute or interesting here. But I do almost always have a wee camera in my bag, so should I see someone I shall snap away. I have this weird feeling that if I were to do that it would be people who already post here!

But we are!

Yup. Santino's the best.

Don't be afraid to post their picture. If they pose for you it won't be a big deal. And even if you stalker-snap a picture of them, it's okay. I'm sure no one will mind having their style be praised on a fashion site.

BTW, if you don't mind me asking, what school are you going to?

Ohhh, if only I would see someone worthy of a photo. <sigh>

I go to the University of Washington (yes, I could have just said UW, but I know not everyone reading this would understand). Just today I was sitting in the library coffee shop being disappointed by all the bad fashion. Sure, it's nearly finals and yes, it was raining, but I have a hard time believing that my entire uni is comprised of smelly nerds. Nooooooo!

Aha! That's because UW students wear Abercrombie & Fitch

I was downtown today and saw the cutest girl (except she had on leggings but I'll forgive her as the rest of her outfit was unique) but she was wearing bright colors and sportin' a mohawk. It was wonderful. I always see the best outfits when I don't have my camera. (Or when I'm on the bus! And I see stylish sexies walking down Pine.. arrrgh!) heh

I think you'll have better luck at Seattle University as it's on Capitol Hill. The students at Seattle Central on Broadway (again Capitol Hill) also have better style. Maybe it's because they have a Fashion Apparel program there!

The UW dress code is head to toe Hollister or 1992 hippie/grunge (not Marc Jacobs grunge but dirty smelly grunge). Apparently, I missed that part during my original Freshman orientation.

 

[Bixby]

^ hehe.

"That's the science building over there.. OH! And by the way, just so you freshman know, kids here dress like crap. And now on the left we have.."

We should get together and stalk streetwalkers for their picture

Ha! I bet they'd charge for photos...

Today I saw a very tall African-American man wearing an eyepatch and a vertical white stripe down his face. He was waiting at a bus stop. I'm sure others thought he was mental (and he may have been), but of course, I thought "ooooh, yeah, street style baby!" I had a camera, but he was too scary in his own fashionable way.

And Bixby daaahling, I just realised that you mentioned mid-terms a few posts up ^ there! Where you you attend? And the fashion report please?!
