The Coast | News, events, restaurants, concerts and Burger Week for Halifax, Nova Scotia
Home of the Best of Halifax Reader's Choice Awards, the award-winning independent newspaper covers the Halifax news, politics, events, concerts, movies, restaurants, and nightlife scene.
While I love that thecoast.ca has a new street style section, let’s see some variety please! Style isn’t really style anymore when everyone is wearing it the same way. AA + thrift store finds = played out. —Where are the real fashionistas?

I know, maybe only one, or two hipters examples would have been nice… there are other styles in Halifax. Though I did love Guy. That was nice.
I would have to agree OP. Also, other than Guy, almost everyone was in the same age category… not everyone who reads the coast is a 20-something hipster.
I loved/hated Guy. He was cool, but he only got on the pages because he was wearing the same crap as everyone else on the page. Sort of like “How cute, an older guy being a hipster.” Barf.
It’s the same street style page as what we see in Faces. Everybody’s dressed the same somehow and are supposed to be oh-so unique. There’s more than emos, hipsters and yuppies in Halifax. Sometimes, I notice, the best dressed people in the city are the ones who don’t go for a particular look but wear whatever comes out of the closet. The people photographed look like they spend an hour picking out outfits every day.
Where would one go to find variety?
still in collyphonia.
Fashionistas? – I guess that makes me a contra.
“It’s the same street style page as what we see in Faces.”
WE? there’s more than one person actually looking through that trash?
I thought it was placed there for all the junkies and bums to have some free TP…..
Soft, absorbent coast paper and vegan dookie makes the best bio-solids.
TRUE DAT BITCHER!! TRUE DAT!!
Alcoholics Anon + thrift stores? That’s what creates style? NSCAD is really going down the drunken road.
They should do a spread of all the fashionable Le Chateau outfits at Reflections on a Saturday night.
Flamer Fashion Show….lol
I just got myself some glasses that are bigger than my face and thicker than a porthole in a submarine. I’m pretty sure they will look wicked with my new thrift store high-fastening shorts with a waist just north of my nipples.
Cool, right?
just don’t bathe in patchouli pwease
I’ve always liked patchoul (if it’s 100% pure), but like all essential oils a little dab’ll do ya. I hate it when people over-indulge in any scent, natural or chemical.
i don’t mind the small amounts, it’s when the scent lingers in the shop for days afterward…smell is my strongest sense^^
When I went grocery shopping yesterday, I walked by someone whose “natural scent” lingered in the isle so strongly I almost gaged.
it might have been the nasty bird sammich you ate newt^^^
Nah…unless my fart smells like a 3 day old armpit sweat.
actually american apparel is in the shits stocks in a free-fall and douche-bag ceo is on his way out the door (even he says the hipster look is done) 🙂
