Streetwear staples you need in your closet right now

Most people who are into comfort over style are all about active and sporty streetwear. Comfy leggings, basic tees, baggy sweatpants, and sneakers are the way to go these days, especially when you live in the city where things move fast and life gets busier by the hour. 

But comfort and style don’t have to be black and white. We all know that it can actually be a cohesive concept once you get your hands on the right pieces. I personally would still like to be on-trend with clothes that are easy to wear and that I am comfortable in—utilitarian even, wherever I go. 

Looking into OXGN’s Premium Threads collection that is newly endorsed by style consultant Aleali Mae made me realize that comfort and style are highly possible. So perhaps when you’re off for a casual mall day or even a meet-up with friends, you’ll be needing these vibrant streetwear looks for a boost in style energy.

Classic track pants

Track pants are the ultimate comfort bottoms. Styling the look with a cropped halter top will give you the edgy and sporty look you’d want to go for. Secure the look with your favorite specs and statement sneakers while you’re at it.

Edgy layers

There’s a lot more personality to your basic tee and shorts ensemble than you think. Especially when spiced up with and layered with a pocketed vest. Finish it with a nice pair of heeled boots or sneakers of your choice and it’ll take you anywhere for sure. 

Fit knit shorts

Shorts can be a tricky subject because it can sometimes be seen as too casual. But when styled right, they can become real fashion statements. Strap it with a belt bag, and pair it with a matching bodysuit and sneakers and you’re good to go. 

Pullover season

Sweater weather is the best, especially when it’s a rainy day in the metro, and going with a pullover is the safest bet, especially when in a hurry. They’ll go with anything and everything from jeans to skirts to sweats—it’ll work, especially when they’re in bold colors like yellow or red.

The belt bag

Lightweight, utilitarian, and convenient, the belt bag will do you no wrong. Just dump your keys, wallet, and lipstick in this pack and you’ll be out the door in no time. Belt bags don’t choose outfits. You can wear this with any style and look of your choice. 

OXGN’s items are available in all stores nationwide and online.
