The joy of androgyny goes both ways. There is nothing wrong with a boy in a chick blazer. Especially a leather croc embossed blazer. You look chic, sophisticated, and girls will be dying to rip your clothes off...and wear them. With some nice jeans or slacks and a pair of high tops or dress shoes you can't go wrong. Be sure to whip out your iphone and/or diesel wallet, as chicks totally dig money too. Smile. You look good.

Madison Marcus - Croc Blazer

Lacoste - Classic Fit

Cheap Monday Jeans

APC - Tennis Shoes

It's not fall yet. I know the weather is taking a slight turn for the colder, but god knows I'm still sweating every time I walk to the nearest coffee shop or vegan restaurant. And when I get there, I want to look good for all the pseudo hipster boys eating their tofu wraps and drinking their Kombucha. This lovely lady is a perfect example of how i can pull this off. Rock a little white dress. It's strictly feminine and playful, yet simple and effortless. Compliment the dress with a pair of boots and a high waisted belt to look too precious for words. This look combined with your knowledge of Ulrich Schnauss and Richard Hawley will make any boy drop their jimmy wrap for a taste of you.

One way to look deliciously chic and sexy is to, oddly enough, dress a bit like the other sex. In a day and age that is past the trend of jenkos, this shouldn't be all too difficult. You know how cute you look wearing your boyfriends tshirt to bed (it's usually big on you if you aren't like me and opt to date men that weigh more than you)? Apply this idea to your daily style. Think over sized tops over deep necked tees, mixed with tight tapered jeans and top off the look with heels. You stay looking feminine, yet cover that unsightly whiskey gut! Plus nothing is more sexy than androgyny, have you even seen Agyness Deyn?

Tops:

One of the best ways to impress the ladies is to look like you didn't put any thought in your outfit, when actually you planned everything from the boots to the vintage chain around your neck. Or in other words, "The Pete Doherty". It's big these days. To achieve: dirty deep V's and tanks always tend to seal the deal, paired with some tapered black jeans and classy boots. Scarves, bracelets and necklaces (can be as simple as a chain you ripped off your fan/light fixture) are always a good accessory as well. Then of course, the getup must be topped by a Fedora cap or leather jacket. I don't even know why I'm giving instructions. You boys already know. Keep up the good work.

First there were baby doll dresses in the 90's, then it was suspenders that were attaching themselves to the tapered jeans of hipster chicks roaming the fields of music festivals, and now...now, we have the romper. Is it pedophilic that childhood styles come back as sexy outting outfits? Perhaps. But regardless...rompers look amazing and are a must have summer style. Pair them with cowboy boots, ankle boots, or heels, along with and a whole mess of vintage jewelry. The best part? You don't really have to compose an outfit....the bottoms and tops are an all in one deal! So easy a child could do it! And they do.

Romp in these:

Shoes:

There is nothing better then a set of pasty pale man legs. And with it currently being the beginning of summer, what better time to show them off? Cut offs are one of man's greatest creations...right up there with ice cream and cynicism. They are sensible, adorable, and happen to be quite flattering (almost everyone can expose a little calf). If short shorts are a no go this summer, don't be afraid to use denim cut offs as a stylish replacement. Worn with a tight tank/tee/sweater (boys) or a peasant blouse/boho top (girls) you'll look like the most stylish kid at the creek! Pick up a pair today (along with a 30 rack of PBR).

I think it's safe to say that animal print isn't just for Claire's snap bracelets and 12 year old girl's bed sheets anymore. Animal print tops and dresses have become a staple look for summer. Whether it's a nice cheetah top, zebra leggings, a giraffe inspired dress...screw the models, we want to look like our four legged friends (note: try to stray from anime cat ears). This adorable tube shirt looks fun and sexy paired with high waisted shorts and a vintage large charm necklace. It's fun, flattering, and perfect for a night out on the prowl. Get it?

Go wild: Corey Lynn Calter Dress

- Zebra Print Tights

- Cheetah Print Top

Shorts: Lux Denim Sun Short

This situation is more of a steeze than style issue. First off, some would claim that women don't objectify men the same way men objectify women. However in this day and age, that's often not the case. Thus, it doesn't hurt for those dashing young lads to show off a little skin. A tight shear tee is always a good choice for a warm summer night out on Colfax. Class it up a bit with a dull colored bandana (clearly to avoid all gang related confusion) and some skinny jeans, you hipster cowboy, you. Styles from the past always come back after their expected hiatus, but it John Wayne did it...the look takes no breaks.

iconoclastically delicious

Currently at the Met museum in New York, they are showcasing a gallery on Superheroes and Fashion. One of the aspects many designers have been channeling is the graphic emblem located on the bulging chests of many Superheroes. This trend is likely pulled from iconoclasm at its finest, however it also looks amazing. This over sized batman tee paired with a high waisted skirt is the perfect presentation of "elegantly dishevelled". The peep toe flats and a white clutch also work great to seal the deal. She looks like a cupcake, a cupcake that is ready to save the world...one jack and coke at a time.

We've all been there. Whether it's at a coffee shop, restaurant, street corner, or bar, everybody has experienced that exact moment when fashion jealousy strikes. You see that stylish and adorable young lady, or disgustingly handsome and dapper young man walking into the room...and in comparison, you simply feel inadequate. The urge rises...first in your ankles, then up to your chest...to immediately run home and change in the hopes of replicating that outfit (or at least certain dynamics) which has caught your eye.

So where do I come in?
My job is to photo document these pioneers of style and present them to the world, while also providing insight on how to achieve these sassy looks. So please, use this blog for your enjoyment and inspiration. Happy browsing!
