After a fair bit of teasing, and some mouthwatering previews, The Rig Out Issue 2 is finally printed and ready to ship.
Oi Polloi has the first batch. The issue includes a New York favorite and a son of a famous Mancunian. In other words, it’s all about clobber and music, with a bit of Northern Soul. (Please note: no actual Norther Soul comes with the issue… the authors are just Northern people).
One of our favourite blogs, Street Etiquette, have just posted this teaser for their new ‘genesis of style’ project. The project will focus on the issue of style through the eyes of people who’ve directly influenced the duo from S.E. Adding some personality and leaving out the schmaltz, S.E continue to do things in their unique and interesting way. Look for the full project to drop in the first week of January.
Here’s the last day of our Oki-Ni takeover. As it’s the end of the week, we thought we’d finish up with a casual outfit. It’s not a world changing fit so those looking for old fashioned inspiration should look elsewhere; this is an outfit where you appreciate the subtleties (like the meshing of colours) and relax a little.
Take a look at the full shot and product links after the leap.
Men.Style.Com has put up a new Market Report 2008, telling us what to buy and what not to buy, what to get rid of. Looking through the report we can see that distressed denim will be back, after the long raw denim trend. For once it will also be nice to put on a pair that is just comfortable and does not need a year to get to that point. Also the houndstooth on linen is something we are looking forward to. When Spring time comes around, it will be a perfect outfit for sure – lightweight, dressed, but not too dressed up.
There are also a couple of things in the guide, that we cannot really follow. Rolled-up pants? This thing that Thom Browne has brought on us is just something we are not so sure about. On a hot summer day maybe, otherwise, nahhh! Also they give you the advice of purchasing a classic Patek Phillippe watch. Since when has that ever gone out of style? A good watch is just a must-have and a Patek Phillippe wristwatch is probably as good as it gets, a piece that you pass on to the next generation, a piece that never goes out of style and also never really should be in a trend report. At least in our opinion!
