324: COMMON THUGS



Lately I've been more interested in menswear then women's wear. I feel like women's fashion is somewhat predictable and I've always gravitated towards a more androgynous style. There are so many unexplored silhouettes, textures and drapes when it comes to menswear. The only scary thing is the tailoring which almost always has to be impeccable, down to every last stitch - not that women's wear can be less crafted- there is just a heaviness and timelessness about most menswear. For the past year or so, my favorite type of garment has been the button down shirt. So versatile, so clean and yet casual (in a early 90s type of way).

I stumbled upon this TMag article and editorial about thug style, sagging pants in particular. It goes to show how adaptable the classic button down really is and I'm loving the thug revival (though did it ever go away?)
