Chilean style

Now that the University area is in full swing with thousands of Chilean students, it has been great looking at all the various styles and outfits that they wear. Almost every single person has some bit of 80's/punk incorporated into their outfit, boys cut the necks of their t-shirts so they are more off-the-shoulder, tons of people wear converse sneakers, everyone has an "interesting" haircut, the girls wear a ton of graphic leggings with all sorts of crazy designs, or genie pants, jumpers, weird jeans, facial piercings are very popular.
I'm also still trying to figure out the different "tribos urbanos" or urban tribes that are going on here... I mean with names like pokemones, flaites, pelo lais... what the heck?
I found this video, it's a little long but shows basically a lot of the things I am disturbed to see when I walk the streets of Santiago

all in all, I like the Chilean's style because it is very daring and creative, but sometimes I have to do a double take and ask... is she really wearing that??

One good thing about being squished in the middle of 3 million people today was that I saw some more good hair styles.

Intro to Mullets

The first thing I noticed when I got here was the vast array of mullets. There I was thinking there was just a "standard mullet", but here we have everything from the rasta mullet, indie mullet, punk mullet, pokemone mullet (try to explain that later once I know more about this subculture that is called los pokemones), braided, beaded, curly mullets, etc... anyway so I am refining my skills of sneakily taking pictures of peoples hair without being awkward. here are a few that I found this week.
