Word on the street...

street style fashion, 3.1 Phillip Lim £385 by 3.1 Phillip Lim from net-a-porter.com

As the saying goes, \"It\'s not what you know, it\'s who you know\", similarly speaking, looking good is not about what you wear, but how you wear it.
\r\nWhen it comes to catching the eye of Scott (The Sartorialist), Tommy (Jak & Jil), Garance (Garance Doré) or the hundreds of other keen street style photographers out there, it\'s about one part clothes and four parts style, pazazz, and well, je ne sais quoi.

\r\n

Sadly, you\'re on your own when it comes to the latter but we\'re here to help with the former!

\r\n

Check out our toungue in cheek guide of the key pieces you should own to get papped for a street style blog.

Statement jewellery

street style fashion, Moschino £49 from Moschino

Statement jewellery is the go-to accessory for upping the stakes and making you look like a high-fashion know-it-all, and therefore, street style fodder in an instant.

Gold hoop earrings, £49 from Moschino

Ankle boots

street style fashion, topshop £120 from Topshop

Tower above the crowd in these super high-heel boots, and get extra points for mixing high street buys with your designer pieces (it\'s the key to a street style blogger\'s heart).

\r\n\r\n

Cut-out detail boots, £120 from Topshop

Furry mittens

street style fashion, ASOS £18 from ASOS

A quirky accessory carried off with style and self-assured ease is definitely going to get you noticed. Especially if, like these, they resemble a certain pair of furry mittens from the Chanel autumn/winter 2010 collection.

Faux fur coat

street style fashion, uniqlo £59.99 from Uniqlo

Silk shirt

street style fashion, whistles £95 from Whistles

Street style photographers have wised-up to overt look-at-me tactics from their subjects - wear a simple military shirt tucked into a pair of high waist trousers and you\'ll be on to a winner.

£95 from Whistles

High-waist trousers

street style fashion, topshop boutique £80 from Topshop Boutique

High-waisted and anything remotely nodding to the \'70s is very hot right now.

Platform sandals

street style fashion, balenciaga £629 by Balenciaga from farfetch.com

Tommy Ton (of Jak and Jil blog fame) started out taking photos of people\'s feet, and more importantly, what was on them. This pair from Balenciaga is definitely enough to make any self-respecting blogger point and click.
