Any information on a certain style goes here. The history of a style is also welcome. Example:

Menswear

Dadcore redirects here. Outfits that take on a more conservative/classical approach. These outfits appear tacky and overly professional when done incorrectly. Fit and fabric type is very important to pulling off this look. A tailored button-down, slim-fitting trousers, a pair of casual oxfords, and a relatively casual tie, for example, can be worn to either a job interview or a night on the town.

Streetwear

Examples of Brands: Supreme, Obey, Stussy

Streetwear is regarded as the most flexible style, it has multiple possibilities and damn near anything can be called streetwear. Streetwear is mostly personal preference and has many forms, a few notable companies are Supreme, Bape, SSUR, and many others. The easiest place to start with streetwear is hypebeast and will give you a good idea at what you're looking at

Gothninja

Examples of Brands: Rick Owens, Carol Christian Poell, Julius, Ann Demeulester

Stemming from avant-garde designers such as Rick Owens, Damir Doma, and Yohji Yamamato, gothninja is a much less accessible style than any of the others listed here. There is a lot of argument about what gothninja is, and whether or not it is even a thing, but it is generally agreed that GN features a greyscale color palette, and interesting silhouettes achieved with either loose, drapey clothing, or skin-tight garments. You have most likely never seen a gothninja in real life. Don't try to pull off this look if you aren't a tall, skinny, confident dude from an urban area. If you don't meet this criteria but try your hand at GN anyway, please post a picture in the daily WAYWT threads so we may all laugh at your expense.

Tumblrcore

Examples of Brands: Mr Gugu Miss Go, Streeware brands are also used

Tumblrcore is a strange thing to describe. For the most part there tends to only be female tumblrcore dressers, whereas a men's tumblrcore has yet to be seen. This style incorporates a sort of twee/teen style while attempting as well to give it some sort of unique edge to it. Whether that edge be heavy makeup, overdone/dyed hair, Dr. Martens, and many different accessories usually associated with a separate style. A staple is usually the "Galaxy Leggings" which have seemingly overnight become a trend, thick framed or "hipster" glasses, hair dyed in an unnatural color, semi-gaudy shoes, and even excessive jewelry. When attempting this style it should be known that it is very flexible just like the streetwear style is, so it can be a very easy "beginner style" for those who aren't sure about some of the more radical and money consuming styles such as gothninja.

Urban Techwear

Obviously there are more styles. Add them.
