How do you match street style outfits with accessories?

Street style, by definition, is a grassroots movement which includes casual garments mixed in a lighthearted way with “what’s happening on the street and is thus constantly evolving” —

“It is possible to isolate a few general principles of streetwear, however. First of all, it is usually centered upon casual, comfortable pieces such as jeans, t-shirts, baseball caps, and sneakers. It is also influenced by hip-hop and skateboarding styles as well as 1980s nostalgia, and often features bold colors, graphic prints, and retro designs and logos.

“Many streetwear clothing enthusiasts hold that the movement emerged in the late 20th century as a reaction to mass-produced “mall” style. While it took some of its inspiration from existing hip-hop and skateboarding fashions, the early streetwear clothing movement also offered its participants a chance to express their individuality by adding light-hearted, quirky, or avant-garde pieces to the styles that preceded it.”
