This week we walked up and down Bowery Street searching for our favorite murals and stylish people to accompany them. Since the popular street is filled with tons of great places to eat and shop, we decided to observe Bowery\u2019s street style within\u00a0the establishments that line it. We photographed and interviewed the people that make Bowery street awesome – the employees of shops and restaurants.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In all three cases, our interviewees exemplified that while their street style is in all ways comfortable and functional for working life, they still find a way to keep the outfits stylish with a personal touch.\u00a0As always, the street art played the perfect background.<\/p>\n

Name<\/strong>: Paige<\/span><\/p>\n

Where are you from?<\/strong>: I\u2019m from here. I was born in NJ, but raised in New York City. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tell us\u00a0about your outfit<\/strong>: Well these gymnastics pants I\u2019m wearing because I didn\u2019t do laundry, \u00a0so I didn\u2019t have underwear! I got the pants from Urban from their vintage section. They\u2019re real army pants. I actually bought these because I was Kim Possible for Halloween last year. My shirt is my friend\u2019s moms that I stole when I was in high school many years ago. I tied it because it\u2019s pretty long. Oh and my rings! I have this thing about Vintage sterling silver – I will go anywhere to find it. I got this one as payment for a company I modeled for once. I think it was a sample they didn\u2019t like, but I loved it. These I got from Poshmark and this one I got in Spain at a flea market. <\/span><\/p>\n

Where do you find fashion inspiration?<\/strong>: <\/b>Well, both of my sisters are in fashion, and I appreciate their style, but I\u2019m more about sustainability. That\u2019s what I studied. I only like high wasted pants. That\u2019s like my base and then I find cute tops to go with. <\/span><\/p>\n

Favorite place to see art in NYC?<\/strong>: <\/b>Kids art! It\u2019s the best – like younger kids. They have this place in Long Island City. I think it may be called Teen Art Salon. They just give free space and materials to young kids to create and then they have pop-up shows.<\/span><\/p>\n

Name<\/strong>:<\/b> Stacy<\/span><\/p>\n

Where are you from?<\/strong>:<\/b> I moved here a year ago from Pennsylvania. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tell us\u00a0about your outfit:<\/strong> I thrifted everything. It\u2019s really comfortable for work and breezy. I like to wear comfy stuff that I can just throw on, but I usually wear dresses in case I want to grab a drink or something after work and I don\u2019t look like a dump. <\/span><\/p>\n

Where do you find fashion inspiration?<\/strong>: I don\u2019t really know, good question. I\u2019m just about waking up and just throwing whatever on. I\u2019m all about function and comfort and as minimal effort as possible. I don\u2019t like vibrancy. Like what I\u2019m wearing right now has kind of neutral undertones, never anything too bright. <\/span><\/p>\n

Favorite place to see art in NYC?<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/b>I\u2019m old school – I love the Brooklyn Museum<\/a>. It\u2019s a staple.<\/span><\/p>\n

Name<\/strong>: <\/b>Margaret<\/span><\/p>\n

Are you from NYC?<\/strong>: <\/b>I\u2019ve lived in NYC for four years, but I\u2019m from Detroit. My family doesn\u2019t live there anymore, but that\u2019s where I was born. <\/span><\/p>\n

Tell us\u00a0about your outfit:<\/strong> Well, I got these Dr. Martens<\/a>\u00a0with a friend a couple of years ago and was actually kind of nervous about it because they were expensive at the time. But now I\u2019m really glad I got them. I wear them all the time and they\u2019re really good for work because they\u2019re close toed and flat but still kind of sophisticated. These pants are from Anthropology. It\u2019s funny, my friends like to go to these fancy stores and whenever we go into YSL, the people that work there always love my pants. This watch is my moms and so are the earrings. I remember her wearing them when I was little. Recently, I was made fun of for wearing this scrunchie and this shirt – it\u2019s recommended at work that we don\u2019t wear crop tops so this is one of my only work shirts. I\u2019ve been super into red nail polish lately. <\/span><\/p>\n

Where do you find fashion inspiration?<\/strong>: <\/b>Recently, I\u2019ve been hanging out with a lot of designers and people interested in high fashion. That\u2019s influenced me for sure. Again, my mom has influenced my fashion a lot. I\u2019m more conservative than she is, she loves crazy colors. She\u2019s very sophisticated, but still a super fashionable lady. I love high wasted stuff. I lived in Berlin for a while so I think that had a big effect on my sense of style too. <\/span><\/p>\n

Favorite place to see art in NYC?<\/strong>: <\/b>The Whitney<\/a> is my favorite museum. I recommend going during sunset. Start at the top level and make your way down.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
