DISCLAIMER: As an expert in the field of Hipster Ultra Runner looks, I want to express my respect for all the hipsters out there. I will begin by illustrating why I feel qualified to write about Ultra Running Hipster styles. Please note that I wear pink ironically. I also wear bikinis ironically.

As the final evidence in qualifications, I make my own coffee with an aeropress, a high performance single cup coffee maker, all the while wearing crazy leggings when I'm road tripping in the middle of Las Vegas because Starbucks just won't cut it for me.
Now that we've established my qualifications as an author, I'd like to jump right into the 10 most Hipster Ultra Runner looks. You too can be a Hipster Ultra Runner by adopting some or all of these looks.
1. Mustaches: Sorry ladies, you're not gonna like this, but mustaches are the perfect hipster accessory for men.
2. Beards: The less groomed the beard, the more legit. Add a cowboy hat and collared shirt, if possible.
3. Costumes: Whether you are pacing or racing, costumes will help establish your hipster cred.
4. Trucker Hats: Pretty self-explanatory.
5. Beer Mile: Forget running a regular mile. Run a beer mile. Add costumes.
6. Headstands: You can include one mid-race to express your carefree attitude toward racing and running.
8. Belly Shirts: If you're not going shirtless, then go for a belly shirt. If you want to double up on hipster cred, make it a Pacific Northwest inspired plaid belly shirt.
9. Ironic Sunglasses: Any sunglasses that wouldn't traditionally be used for running work. Ideally you will buy them at a gas station for less than $10.
10. Accessorize with Stripes and Plaid: Add lots of color and patterns, but not too many. Choose to accessorize with color and patterns: socks, sunglasses, and headbands all work. Plaid and Stripes are definite must-haves.
11. Go shirtless, bonus! If you aren't going plaid or wearing a belly shirt, go shirtless. When in doubt as to what to wear, wear less.
