What do you mean 'street style'? Corner is esquina. I don't know any idiom related to it. Just a silly joke:
¿Que le dijo una muralla a otra muralla? En la esquina nos juntamos. :P

One thing that will help you be sure to get the answer you want is not to give one word request, because one word can mean more than one thing.   For instance, the word 'corner' can mean the end of the block or the cat planned to corner the mouse and eat him for dinner.   Always use the word you want to know in a sentence so people don't give you the wrong translation, because they thought of a different usage than you were thinking of, or you could end up learning it wrong.   Also, if you ever want someone to translate something, give the info about where you ran across it, what was going on at the time and as much as you can remember of the text.  I, too, am confused about 'not how we say it in English, but 'street style' in Spanish.   It doesn't appear to be a slang word in either language, if that's what you meant. ?

That's right Encantame. It's a lot easier (and more accurate) when we have the word you want in context.

Corner = Esquina
 
Is esquinita a Spanish word?

Yes, it is a little corner. I haven't seen the diminutive used with this word though.

esquina = outside corner (i.e. street corner)

rincón = inside corner (i.e. corner of the room)
