Cait - Valencia Street, SF

k819 - san francisco street fashion style
"I like kind of layering with a lot of flesh tones a lot of the time. And I like dressing for the Bay Area weather and being able to peel off layers and hang out."

I like the salmon colors of her various layers and the silhouette that makes.

Well-worn ballet flats. I like how the toe is very ballet slipper referencing.

Dylan - Valencia Street, SF

"Everything inspires me. I take inspiration from everywhere, basically."

Found him shopping at my local vintage by the pound. How cute is he with his bowler, collared shirt, cardigan, glasses, and those great slim pants, rolled up and oxfords worn without socks. (ed - Oops, the recording missed his name, does anybody know this gent? I'll update when I get the appropriate name.)

Love his rolled cuffs and shoes here.

Men and bowler hats in SF. Zing! Another theme.

"I don't know. An innate sense."

I like the trilby (corrected in comments - thanks!) and how it works with his tweedy professorial outfit. The tie, scarf, and vest are really nice touches to everyday denim.

I find the character of well-worn leather to be quite beautiful.

Irene - 18th Street, SF

irene18 - san francisco street fashion style
"I'm really inspired by vintage fashion and I work in architecture, so I'm really inspired by design and geometry."

Plush silhouette created with layers of cotton knit, rayon, and a canvas anorak. I like that her outfit has the promise of something else going on. Also? How great are those sunglasses with the transparent and bright neon yellow frames?

Ballet flats.

Nina - Valencia Street, SF

nina15 - san francisco street fashion style
"I'm just trying to be nature and nature looking. This makes me feel comfy and down to earth. This is just what I felt like wearing today."

Cute girl with freckles in a "Navajo" design knit sweater.

Jessie - Valencia Street, SF

Jessie14 - san francisco street fashion style
"I just got this hat from the flea market and I put it on. Peter Pan, I guess."

Cute hat and tights. I was captivated by her bright colors.

Black boots.

Jessie and Dre have a lot of similarity in the tone of their outfits. Dre is wearing an orange-y wool felt hat, similar in color to Jessie's tights. Jessie is wearing a similar hat, but in army green - the color of Dre's overcoat. Themes! Zing!

Dre - 18th Street, SF

dre - san francisco street fashion style
"I don't know about this style. But today this outfit is inspired by ballet practice as a child. I'm wearing a child's leotard underneath."

It might be all about the wool felt hat and that military overcoat, but her scarf really holds it together and underneath it all is a surprise - a velvet catsuit from yesteryear (late 80s, early 90s - I used to own one :)).

Becca - Valencia Street, SF

blackhat - san francisco street fashion style
"Being broke."

I like the drama of a big floppy black hat with a short shift in a great blue. (Also, how beautiful is SF right now, that this outfit *sans sweater* is weather appropriate?)

A look at her cowboy boots.

Alexis and Ben - 18th Street

duo18 - san francisco street fashion style Alexis: "My Mom."
Ben: "Well, I'm wearing long johns, so I guess I'm lumberjack inspired today or Alaskan."

Supa cute, right? I've said it before, but I'll say it again, I like taking pictures of pairs. There is something in how they're fashionable-ness is juxtaposed against one another. And this is probably just a coincidence or some Camus-esque thing between the two of them, but the burgundy on her dress and that vanilla color are both echoed in his flannel. I think it is meant to be.

A look at the rad boots she purchased vintage on Etsy and his sweetly comforting boat shoes.

Taylor - Valencia Street, SF

taylor - san francisco street fashion style
"I'm big into brown and sweaters, knits. I like vintage, antique stuff, kind of grandma."

I love her brocade jacket and how she is incorporating a multitude of fall colors into this outfit. She's colorful with a solid theme. Thumbs up!

Bianca - Mission Street, SF

bianca1 - san francisco street fashion style
"I shop mostly at Ohio thrift stores. I'm from Columbus, Ohio."

Something very androgynously lovely about that striped top with the small tie. Love how it looks with those tortoise sunglasses and slim black jeans.

The perfect simple zip-up leather bootie.

Adrienne - Mission Street, SF

adri10 - san francisco street fashion style
"Simplicity, lightness, flowiness, solids."

Super cute curly red hair, with a flowy linen blouse. Her tortoise frame glasses also highlights the red in her hair.
adri10_closeup - san francisco street fashion style

I love the weathered leather backpack and how they sort-of, but not exactly match her rugged boots.
adri10_detail - san francisco street fashion style

Lovely leather 8-hole ankle boots.

Katie - Mission Street, SF

katie17 - san francisco street fashion style
"70's classic rock."

I like that Katie is wearing quintessential California clothes. The baby blue wash denim jacket and the cotton shift with rope tie around the waste are only meant for 60 degree winters.

Woven sandals.

Kari - Mission Street, SF

kari17 - san francisco street fashion style
"Whatever I'm feeling for the day, I guess. I love wearing, right now, Native American patterns. Triangles. All that stuff."

Kari's amazing red hair, her boots, pendants and that sweater all compelled me to approach her. An amazing photographer, this lady knows something about composition. Do you think the different length layered necklaces are by chance?

Kari scored some of the amazing Dolce Vita for Target boots.

Susan - Mission Street, SF

susan17 - san francisco street fashion style
"My Mom."

Susan stepped off a plane from London just hours before I spotted her shopping at the local thrift store. Besides her dedication to thrifting, I love her lace top coupled with the tartan skirt, it feels somewhat late 80s/early 90s. (My synapses are recalling early McQueen.)
