Urban Surf Summer Cordage Tips
” Throw in an urban surf brand top “
Urban surf style has only been around for a short period of time, and there are still very few brands and stores that offer it. It is effective to insert items from a brand or shop (Saturdays, WTW Surf Club, Ron Herman, Deus Ex Machina, etc.) into tops. This may sound a bit rough, but you can look like a Saturdays T-shirt with the logo without thinking too hard. Please check out our 12 Urban Surf Brands for more information, including the brand’s background.
” Keep it monotone and focus on color.
One of the major differences between traditional surf style and urban surf style is the use of color. While conventional surf fashion has been characterized by relatively colorful items with rainbow patterns and vivid primary colors, urban surf style is based on monotone, with no items that are multicolored or use vivid primary colors. Minimalistic coloring based on monotone is the key to an urban impression, so the key to success is to be strongly conscious of “narrowing down the color palette” both in the selection of items and in the coordination.
“Keep to a slim silhouette and a true-to-size fit.
The key to urban surf style is to have just the right sizing. This season, big silhouettes are somewhat in vogue, but only in some normcore and mode street styles. If you try to do so in urban surf style, you may end up in a wild casual fashion.
” “Keep your feet clean and sporty.”

Keep your feet simple as well. Although the horizontal trend has been reduced, the style still has its origins in the horizontal trend, so Vans and the like are a good match, and many people wear Vans Authentic. If you want to go for a more minimalist or normcore look, Vans classic slip-ons are also a good choice. I recommend choosing leather for a more urban feel. For a more sporty look, running sneakers or sports sandals are also recommended! In the men’s summer shoes [ these are the 8 genres you should get ], the most incompatible item is the tassel loafer, and dressy items are basically unnecessary for urban surf style.
“Add some sweatpants for a more “Japanese” look.”
An essential element of urban surf style is a moderate sports mix taste. Too much of it and it becomes more of a street style than an urban surf style, so it is important to find the right balance. Shorts are also acceptable since it is summer. If not sweatpants, we also recommend shorts made of pile fabric.
