NYT Style: Footwear for the fashion forward – four ideas to give your wardrobe a more exclusive taste

NYT Style: Footwear for the fashion forward – four ideas to give your wardrobe a more exclusive taste

We go again,

With my men’s heels post which I certainly am intrigued by I find writing about Shoes very interesting. Especially as it’s where men really put much of our efforts in terms of how we express ourselves, which is why I decided to do the boot season post as winter is nearing closer and closer. Now I’m here with what I think may be the closer to a trifector – the style suggestion portion – not to out there & not what everyone else may obviously be doing already but a real look at where the fashion forward are putting their eyes and where I like to look considering the time of year it is

Christopher Raebun X Palladium

These are really something they have actually been thrown in my face a lot by the hypebeast, I don’t know what it is about them but I do kind of dig them. I’m usually one to turn away from all that’s advertised to me just as a rule of thumb -honestly as I look at these they really remind me of the Margiela moon boots mixed with a couple other style options. But at £170. they do style well at that price point which is sincerely important to me when I recommend something purely visually. I enjoy just looking at these, I can’t speak about comfort but the design is modern & colours are cool enough for me to consider them on the list

Style options: paired with skinny jean or slim fit, ripped denim with a plain white tee and leather jacket or aviator jacket

Dr Martens – Creepers

Definitely part of my own personal agenda. Creepers. Something you can get at all price points from £40 to £200. These have been on my hit list for a very long time I love to make ugly look wavy since 2012the pug of walking shoes or boot – I don’t know – they just cute af to me… and I don’t care who knows it. Hitting that lower price point tells me they’re gaining a larger and larger market for the people who accept them which means my job is almost done. Pair it with a checkered suit or houndstooth overcoat & turtleneck and be the coolest guy in town. I don’t care just get them

Style option: pin stripe trousers or high cut skinny trousers with colourful socks and patterned shirt to match top off with a block colour beanie or strapless hat

Cat Intruders

Super new to my purview I don’t have the most care for these and they may be done 3 years from now but what I know is that they’re under £100 and they’re obviously sturdy as they’ve been made by cat which really makes its own point to make the most comfortable industrial boots along with joining the ugly dad shoe swag they kill two birds with one stone (and yes I said swag they’re dad shoes, makes sense)

Style option: high cut striped trousers paired with colourful socks and oversized jumper or biker jeans with coogie sweater

Nike SF Airforce 1

for the culture if you’re not a big style guy or super anti fashion or into the ugly swag but want something techy that kinda incorporates all of them cop the SF-AF 1 even sound like a fighter jet. Make you feed into that insecurity of makin sure youre cool because they’re nikes (like theres no ugly nike shoes(sounds like a blog idea)) and you want a lukewarm intro to tech-ware in your wardrobe these are for you. You know they’re not the most comfortable or stylish or anti-fashion but they are Nike so there’s that.

Style options: army tech trousers with bucket hat with plain jumper and utility gilet or cargo camo jeans with utility vest and earth tone sweater/hoodie

I think there’s something on this list for everyone and no matter who you are, if you’d like to know how to style them find me on Twitter I give out free fashion advice @nytypical just DM me. I find it fun

We go again,

Am I prepared to slate any fashion house? No. Am I prepared to scrutinise fashion houses for giving to the hypebeast Trend to feed a bottom line that will in the long run affect a legacy ? Yes.

Starting with the hypebeast culture and how it came about, people get confused with the timeline but put simply it started with my olders and their thirst to create clothes for the community. That also led to rappers who had the capital promoting certain brands that were more affordable than the luxury Louis Vuitton and Gucci brands. Slowly they grew into some of the most sustainable brands who sell out quite quickly with our favourite rappers and skate-stars and bands becoming influencers to a degree.

This culture has nothing to do with luxury fashion houses moreso it is anti luxury and somewhere it became luxury because how hard it was to attain, which is incredible. The youth club scene created a fomo effect with hoodies because of how exclusive it is to attain certain items, how amazing that is I don’t know but a new type of luxury is formed and the youth dictate what is in style and what isn’t. Now to talk about Ralph, someone that came from the streets of New York to create for the upper class only to have hip hop culture be the main reason why your brand is flourishing today, is ironic because what you were turning your nose up at put the battery in your machine. It’s no mistaking the last seasons of Ralph featured certain 90’s looks that were pivotal in the lo-life era of New York along with the Kith collaboration, we can not particularly say if you’re taking my earlier sentiments hip hop built it that it’s a totally far fetched collaboration. But Kith is pure hype-metric and nothing else, peace.

Now I don’t know the story Ralph himself has personally to do with skate culture but I think if we will call bullshit on Supreme X Louis Vuitton then you got to do the same with this. Not saying I turn my nose up on certain fashion trends but Kim Jones will forever be remembered for the Supreme LV collab. What we have to ask Ralph is what now? And check if that lie is believable enough to say good going. As I say I’m a style lawd, if it’s fresh I’ll wear it – hypebeast culture is my generations creation the intention was not this but this is what we have today. I wish for the best and hope trends pass so the true nature of street-style can be interpreted the right way
