Commute Couture


are you ready for your close up? ha!














        Lights cameras commute! Commuting has proven to be effective in taking us to our respective destinations but indirectly it has also been influencing our everyday fashion sense. How many times have you noticed a particular outfit brought to you via the "subway runway" and expressed your like or dislike immediately by thought. Unlike the catwalks in Paris or China commuter couture is the most effective in starting trends, it's what people think is more relatable, "if she can pull that off I will try something similar also" or "oh that's how that shirt looks, I will purchase one soon".  The subway brings front and center, everyday people modeling clothes, hair, shoes and accessories for men women and kids. Our peers are more influential than any model or mannequin could be..Nothing beats someone your size wearing clothes you like.
But it's only normal commutable to put things in the acceptable/ unacceptable category so here it comes.
Please be advised - You may only try to replicate a look (Elvis, Rhianna,Marylyn Monroe, nicki manaj, Katy perry , halle berry as cat woman ect.) only if you are being paid to do so.

no! Grandma no!














oh no!













 
cute!






   










cool as a cucumber



ok ! lose the hat and smile!















go ahead brotha!










Regardless of where we go, most ppl try to get to their destinations as flawless as possible. Classy n casual or dressy n chic, then we have the rest that try their best to not look like they care at all (which sometimes is more work than just looking awesome). I personally believe that wherever a group congregates, there is always a few ppl attempting to make statements via fashion, and while some are big hits, others are horrible misses.

Commutable safety tip: try to keep metro cards in your bag or wallet, not in your pocket. (Especially if you own a monthly unlimited).
