If you happen to be stuck in a style rut and need inspiration from something other than the constant barrage of fashion advertisements plastered on billboards and magazine pages, look no further than Streetpeeper.com. The website offers fresh and creative incite from savvy dressers in urban meccas around the globe. From Copenhagen to New York, Sydney, Paris, Berlin and beyond, photos are snapped and uploaded daily highlighting young individuals who standout on the street - most of them harboring that certain admirable “Je ne sais quoi” quality. Although I must admit, it wouldn’t be as fun without the outrageous faux-pas sprinkled among them: vivid green spandex pants on a long-haired male hipster, anyone?

Street Peeper may not be as scathing as Superfuture’s cut-throat “What are you wearing today” forum or Vice’s outspoken “Do’s and Don’ts”, but unlike Vice, SP takes that extra effort to uncover exactly “who” and “what” the kids are wearing - be it vintage one-of-a-kind pieces, upscale fashion labels or low-end yet chic threads offered at H&M. Always armed with their cameras, the globetrotting SP photographers also find time to hit up numerous events, including art gallery openings, posh parties, boutiques and fashion shows, most recently nutty Jeremy Scott’s “Men At Work” Spring ‘08 line in Paris.

Visit Street Peeper’s site to sift through the open-ended supply of photos, or sign up for their “Looks of the week” newsletter. If you’ve got bold personal style (and happen to be in the right place at the right time) maybe you’ll get lucky and find your own look featured on the blog’s front page.
