What Your Street Style Pose Says About You

Trust us—it's not as easy as "Ready, set, smile"—to create the perfect street style photo. You need a killer outfit, a masterful photographer, and an on-point pose. Whether you're into crossing your legs, swinging your bag, or getting all "akimbo" on us, your stance says quite a bit more about you then just what you like to wear. In fact, we've enlisted renowned body language expert Patti Wood and author of the book Success Signals, Understanding Body Language to tell us more about what your signature stance might be revealing about you without your knowledge. After combing through all our favorite Street Style sites—including ours—we've got the top five go-to street style poses that make regular appearances during Fashion Week or any average Sunday in Soho. So, if you're wondering if your preferred pose made the cut, click through to see what your street style stance says about you!

The Walk Away
What It Is: You cast a quick glance over your shoulder to a sneaky shutterbug as you hurry to your next show. Thanks for the photo—but, gotta run!

The Red Carpet
What It Is: With one hand on hip and one hip cocked upward, this pose was popularized by Red Carpet walkers and Sorority Girls for its ability to make your arms like itty bitty and your waist look more defined.

 

The Sign Of The Cross
What It Is: Standing with your legs crossed firmly, the SOTC straddles the line between looking discreetly coy and as narrow as humanly possible.

The Too-Cool-To-Stand
What It Is: You're using a wall, surface, or fence to prop yourself up, or you're tilting further than the Leaning Tower of Pisa.

Checked Out: TG-170's New LES Location

Check out this lovely article by Laura Neilson for Thread/Ny!

TG-170 has been a mainstay on the Lower East Side since 1992, way before Ludlow Street and the rest of the neighborhood became chockablock with one fashion boutique after the next. And while rising rent costs and the area's changing landscape compelled owner Terri Gillis to relocate a few blocks down to a new retail location, the move was an altogther forward-thinking one, exemplifying TG-170's enduring character as a mainstay and Gillis' innovative response to the times.

We stopped by the new location at 77 Ludlow Street, a smaller, more modern-feeling space, which showcased the same brands as the store's previous incarnation—Sula, Mociun, Surface to Air, Mara Hoffman, and jewelry by Orly Genger—but a more-focused collection. Phina, who's been working with the store on-off since 1999 told us that there was a deliberate effort to bring prices down and make the offerings more accessible, as she pointed out the newly-arrived Mociun graphic-printed t-shirts currently retailing for $55....
