AHS style: Deep dive into the internet ‘cool girl’ fashion
American High Street, also known as AHS style, is a recent fashion trend that takes inspiration from street style and its Y2k counterparts.
It incorporates elements of maximalism and both masculine and femme clothing pieces. Today, we’ll talk about some main essentials of the style and how you can adapt this style in your wardrobe!
Graphic prints, prints, prints!
One of the signatures of AHS styles is the love for graphic prints. Although graphic tees are nothing new in fashion, AHS style takes that same classic, keeps the print to a minimum finish, and turns it to match their aesthetic. Some examples of graphics prints you’d often encounter with AHS are orchids, jersey numbers, lips, music artists, or statements.
Mini- i mean, micro skirts
mini skirts have always been in a game, evolving to whatever era it’s currently in. For this particular style, mini skirts are even shorter, calling them micro skirts. These skirts are often low waisted, and are accompanied with denim fabric, and if not, usually with patterns and prints.
The baggy washed pants
Baggy pants have been reigning over skinny jean silhouettes for quite some time now, and AHS is also joining that trend. The pants are usually low-waisted, and are baggy all the way down. if it’s denim, they usually look like it’s been heavily washed and used, giving the effect of a worn out fabric that’s fading from use. Some other pants that also make their appearance throughout the trend are camouflage pants, cargos, and leopard jeans.
Accessorize to the MOON!
One of the things that make AHS unique is their love for jewelry maximalism. stacks of gold bracelets and necklaces add so much to an outfit more than the clothes themselves. layering chunky gold rings and wearing bulky earrings is also a plus! waist chains can also be added to really tie in the look. For AHS style, personality is key. That’s a reason why people show their creativity by going all out with their accessories.
Step with some pop of color!
AHS is a big fan of color and anything vibrant. People who wear this style usually go for sneakers that bring a unique pop of design to their outfit. You would often notice the Adidas Samba and Onitsuka Tiger in an array of colorways on people wearing this style.
Colors and Patterns
This style is often not particular with color, as people can go experiment with as many colors and textures that they want. As for patterns, a common pattern that you’ll see going into the style is leopard print. The leopard print has been in style during the early 2000’s (and eras before that) and has since made a comeback this time. The timeless pattern proves itself to be versatile in different pieces, may it be in bags, shoes, tops, or pants, they all look good in leopard.
