air forces will always be popular in NYC

all white uptowns and uptowns in general will always be an nyc thing. im from manhattan and u see that all year long, mostly summer.

Here's a pretty decent blog I found, http://streetetiquette.com .
A good blog to browse through, it is interesting to say the least.

Desert Boots pulled off decently well, just needs less sagging but the concept isn't bad.

Trying to hard with this look but again, good concept just not the right execution.

For the most part, it isn't but the sagging on the white jeans looks horrible.
His pockets looks like it practically halfway past the middle and headed to the back of his knees.
The other two are fine but I would still pull it up a bit.

Yeah if that was me I can't have my pants sagging like that.

 

[dabuddhawitjays]

I can see myself dressing like this, sometime in the future, part of the reason being that my future career requires the proper attire, and the other reasonbeing that I do sincerely think most of the stuff in this thread is nice. Some of these fits are

though, and nothing will change my opinion on that. Trend or not, I'll stick to what I think is nice, and what sticks to the occasion.

i don't see how this is trying too hard. it's just pure swagger. besides, the pic you're quoting is from a blog called "streetetiquette."

there's a lot of ups and downs to this thread. not sure how many people on NT are in the industry but when i travel to shows like LA Market, WSA, FFANY,Project/Magic/Pool, etc to make buys, a lot of the male buyers don't even dress remotely close to the info that has been dropped in this thread. which isironic b/c buyers are the key players in telling you "what's hot" for the upcoming season. like i said in one of my previous posts, this threadis more like a gigantic guide on how to dress like a prep. even the RL account execs/sales reps i've dealt with can't even dress themselves, and theirdiscount is 60%.

i don't usually refer to GQ as a style guide simply b/c it goes along with trends influenced by advertising, but the best quote in the Preppy article ifound was this: "If you want to embrace the preppy look, keep one thing in mind: Scale it back." like the pic above, a little bit of street, a littlebit of prep. same thing with my fav look from spring 09 from Dsquared

in the end fashion is all subjective. this thread is a good read and it's good to interact with people who are into fashion on this board. i just hope idont walk down melrose one day and see all the graphic tees swapped for button down oxfords and SB's swapped for loafers. as long as brands like ed hardyand tapout are still poppin' amongst the masses, fine by me. and to whoever said boat shoes weren't trendy, they're trendy. if it's at UrbanOutfitters, it's trendy. classic shoe sure, but they're definitely trendy.

I've seen that exact shirt during the fall from J. Crew, so check back in the fall for it. Both shirts below are mini gingham. The second one might be moredark gray than black though FYI ...

Gap: http://www.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=42838&vid=1&pid=648898

If I recall correctly (too lazy to go back and look at the pic), Carmelo's shirt was military style and had the flaps on the shoulders. J. Crew buttondowns do not have the flaps. Not sure if it's a biggie to the dude who wants it or not.

You're absolutely right! I didn't even notice. There are buttoned pockets on the front too ...

 

[quiksilver199]

I'd like to pick one of these up whenever I get more money

 

[ghost703]

can anyone recommend me some nice oxfords or other dress shoes that can be worn with a dark gray (think charcoal) suit as well as with more casual outfits?

Wow , kind of surprised to see my site on Nike Talk in general , long time member here always will respect its the first sneaker forum I came onto in 2003 orso. I appreciate all the props and criticism about our dressing for those who like it please keep checking it out man were trying to really push this outfellas. Obviously we haven't always dressed like this born and raised in the BX, but sometimes you just change as time goes on. Not for everybody of coursebut if you feel its for you why not embark on it you know. As far as my love for kicks though always will be a part of me , I wrote a interesting post on myrelationship with the sneakergame or kicks in general titled "Losing my 'Sole'" , guys should check it out and respond bring up someinteresting points agreeing/disagreeing doesnt matter. http://streetetiquette.co...09/05/06/losing-my-sole/ lol i talk too much btw

 

[omgitswes]

Info on those shoes...

I believe they are Sperry's
what jacket brand is that?

 

[jkissi7]

^ thats the worst about the new quality of "Clark Originals" if you like to keep them clean thats going to be close to impossible. Rain drops on themare permanent its funny lol, the old vintage ones that Trav have in that picture seems to be made from a whole differnet material where that doesnt evenhappen... crazy.
On the other hand if you like to keep them dirty and worn theyre perfect lol. Orlando - those are not sperrys or brooks brother boat shoes pictured those areactually 3sixteen X Qouddy Boat chukka shoes , they did a collab with them should check 3sixteen out theyre really making some good strides. The coat is also3sixteen ive worn it in a month or so ago testing it out, real good quality and fit is really up there man. just hit up www.3sixteen.com they dropped theirFall/Winter 2009 video a month or so ago, headed by some cool people also.

 

[Mister Meaner]

lol, I saw this 'fit on SF a few weeks ago

Definitely inspired me to pull the white pants out of the closet for some reimplementing into the wardrobe.

 

[jakecuevas]

Just picked these up a few hours ago. I love them.

55$

 

[omgitswes]

^^^^thats where i saw that. i knew i saw it somewhere before. the fits on styleforum are very impressive.
