Get out the vintage cardigans, dark-washed skinny jeans and tattered graphic T-shirts because the bohemian hipster movement has invaded Southwest.

A hipster can be identified by his or her devotion to non-conformist expression and appearance; and for two Southwest students, non-conformism is the new Abercrombie and Fitch.

Junior Haylee Barskey, who recently moved here from Florida, believes that style should reflect a person’s individuality.

“Style is just doing your own thing,” Barskey said. “Following people is unoriginal. People who dress the same are super generic.”

Senior Asher Morey agrees with Barskey.

“[You should] wear what you want to wear,” he said.

Morey respects those who defy the status quo and strives to do so with his own unique sense of fashion.

“I once saw a picture of my friend’s dad when he was like 20,” Morey said. “He looked ridiculous but he was just rockin’ it. It was so cool. He just did what he wanted and expressed himself through how he looked.”

Morey believes that his sense of fashion is nothing more than a reflection of his mood or personality.

“I want to have the way I look express who I am,” he said. “Sometimes I’ll wake up and you’ll know I didn’t care that day. I love skinny jeans and V-necks and beanies. I also just cleaned out my closet and found a couple of cool pants and shoes.”

Barskey’s style inspiration is the laid-back Floridian lifestyle.

“A lot of my friends surf there,” she said. “People are just more laid back.”

Some of her favorite places to shop include Urban Outfitters and American Apparel. Her signature accessories are beanie hats and moccasins.

In a world dominated by fuzzy pink UGG boots and American Eagle hoodies, hipsters have found a way to express their distinctive personalities through a unique sense of style.

“I guess by declaring yourself a part of the hipster movement you are no longer a part of the movement,” Morey said.
