Dickies
Why did we include Dickies in Thestreets?
Dickies entered the city life through honest, working foundations, not through posing. It works on the streets because when you have things that can withstand a real day, you stop worrying about whether they are "in" and start worrying about whether they can be relied on. It is a brand that can hold its shape even when the day changes as it goes along and the outfit has to handle more than just a nice moment in front of the mirror.
In practice, Dickies revolves around the cut and how the pants behave when walking and sitting. When the silhouette fits, the rest of the fit doesn't have to make a big show. It often comes down to simple layers and footwear that balances comfort and character.
How to wear them, what to combine them with?
-
for city trips, when walking, public transport and standing outside for a long time alternate
-
for days when practicality is the key and the outfit should withstand even worse surfaces and pace
-
with a simple T-shirt and a layer on top, so that the workwear looks civilian, not costume-like
-
for weekend city routines, where comfort becomes apparent after a few hours, not after the first few minutes
-
with relaxed shoes, when you want to let the silhouette of your trousers "breathe" without excessive styling
A good base is often made by ordinary sneakers, while many people balance it with something simple on their feet like vans.
What to look out for when buying
With Dickies, the cut and length are most often the deciding factor. The difference between a relaxed fit and shapeless pants is often just where they end above the shoe and how they sit at the waist. It also makes sense to think about whether you want to wear them higher or lower, because this will change the entire proportion of the figure.
The most common things to look at are:
-
how the length looks when you walk, whether the fabric is unnecessarily bunched up or, conversely, does it look short
-
whether there is room to move in the thighs and knees without the pants "pulling"
-
how the waistband fits when you sit so that the outfit does not require constant adjustment
-
whether it can be combined with simple layers so that workwear does not take away the lightness of the outfit
-
how the silhouette works with the shoes you wear most often, not just with one pair
When you add a top layer for the transitional period, many people go for something functional the north face, and when it comes to shoes, it is sometimes softened into civilian style with new balance.
Frequently asked questions - FAQ
How to choose a cut so that Dickies do not look too bulky?
It helps to start with the length and waist, because those two things make the silhouette. When the volume is balanced with a simple top and clean shoes, the result looks natural even without extra styling.
Can workwear be worn casually so that it doesn't look like a work outfit?
Yes, the combination and the rest of the fit are key. When the number of "work" details is not increased and only the cut is allowed to stand out, a wearable urban base remains.
Practical experience, tips and tricks
At Dickies, I've often seen people come in looking for a durable piece, but leave especially excited that they finally found a proportion that suits them. The length makes a huge difference, especially when worn with bulky shoes or, conversely, with a low profile. You'll also be surprised how quickly workwear "calms down" when the rest of the outfit is kept simple. It works best when you let it live in your everyday life, not when you try to look "workwear".
Who is Dickies for?
It suits people who want a solid urban foundation and don't like to approach their wardrobe as a project. It also makes sense for those who base their outfit on a trouser cut and need it to work when walking, sitting, and at the pace of the day. When worn casually and without pressure, the workwear character comes naturally.

New Balance
Why did we include the New Balance brand in the Thestreets store?
New Balance holds its own in the city through comfort and quiet confidence, not through the shouting around you. When your day is built on moving, stairs, paving and long standing, you start to notice what doesn't tire you. The street keeps such things because they work the same on Monday morning as on Saturday afternoon.
Most often it revolves around simple combinations, where the shoes hold the silhouette and the rest of the outfit is clean. New Balance can work as a base for loose pants, but also for a neater urban fit when you don't want to appear sporty. In practice, it will be shown whether you can walk normally all day in them without having to worry about every step.
How to wear them, what to combine them with?
-
for all-day trips around the city, when walking, public transport and prolonged standing alternate
-
for a simple fit with looser pants, when the goal is comfort without excessive sportiness
-
for travel and trips, where the day consists of movement and different surfaces
-
for days when you go straight from work or school and the outfit should work without changing
-
in the transitional period, when layers change, but the step should remain stable
When dealing with contrast in the silhouette, someone softens it with adidas, and when the outfit wants to look more raw, sometimes it switches to a skate mood with DC Shoes.
What to look out for when buying
When choosing, the decision is usually made on the feeling of walking and whether the shape fits you. Some silhouettes look similar, but the difference becomes apparent after an hour of moving around, when the heel, toes and lacing start working. It also makes sense to think about whether you want a pair for everyday wear, or rather for specific situations.
The most common things to look at are:
-
how the width fits in the front and whether the toes have natural space even after hours
-
whether the step feels stable on pavement and asphalt when the pace changes during the day
-
how the heel holds when walking faster and when stopping
-
whether it can be combined with a regular wardrobe without the outfit looking like a workout
-
how the silhouette behaves with the pants you wear most often
With a simple urban base, a pure classic like Converse and on top, a comfortable layer like Champion is suitable on a regular day.
Frequently Asked Questions - FAQ
Are New Balance shoes more for long walks, or just for "urban fit"?
Many people wear them for walking because they feel the difference after a few hours. When the shape fits and the step is stable, it works even on a long day without the shoe starting to get annoying.
How do I know if a particular silhouette will fit my foot?
It helps to perceive the feeling when walking and the stability in the heel, not just the first impression when standing. If you can relax your step in a shoe and nothing presses or floats, it usually fits in the real pace of the city.
Practical experience, tips and tricks
I have often seen with New Balance that people come for the look, but leave based on the feel of the step. The biggest difference becomes apparent on a longer day, when the movements become more extended and the foot starts to be sensitive to details. You will also be surprised at how much the right lacing and sock can do when it comes to stability. When the shape is right, the shoe stops being an issue and the day moves on.
Who is the New Balance brand for
It fits people who move a lot and want their shoes to support the day, not complicate it. It also makes sense for those who put together simple outfits and don't want to appear sporty. It works in urban mode, where walking, sitting and moving around without a break alternate.
