Stylebook Book Club - Book 11
When I was growing up, I went to a fairly large high school that was split up into distinct subcultures - goths, artsy kids, emo kids, surfers, punks, etc. Plenty of kids hung out across groups, but there were definitely distinct styles that signaled to everyone else what your hobbies were.
Style Tribes explores the phenomenon of declaring your identity with fashion and how certain pieces of clothing became associated with different music and subcultures. Today, it feels like trends only last a month at a time, but many popular items are references to subcultures of past decades. Style Tribes is a fascinating look at over 20 different groups and what clothes gave them their distinct look. After reading this, you’ll never look at the outfits at Coachella the same way again.
