How to Make a Hipster Shirt
Hipster fashion is non-traditional and non-conformist. Hipsters seek to avoid mainstream trends and find their own fashion. Therefore, hipster fashion is varied and changes constantly. The most commonly worn shirts by hipsters are ones that are purchased and not made, such as obscure indie band t-shirts, tight neon t-shirts, bowling shirts or oversize plaid shirts. Shopping at thrift stores can give you options for hipster shirts. However, there are simple modifications you can make to t-shirts to make them more authentically hipster.
