This is something that really has been on my mind recently. Gentleman, please pay attention. The skater look has been dead for a while now. Honestly, IT'S BYE BYE. LONG GONE. I really just don’t understand why it’s trying to come back. No no, you cant put a new twist on this classic by wearing hat with the bill pointed straight upwards. Yuck. A real treat is when a witty word or phrase is written in sharpie on the underside of the bill for everyone to see. “Suicidal” or “New York is DEAD!” Not only is New York dead dude, your swag is dead too. After thinking about this issue for a while now, I have come to a realization. Yes, I was once an offender of this look. Yeah, I had the oversized sweaters, the fitted hats, the big shoes. I was BIG SHYT….at the time which seems like a decade ago. Like what? Sophomore year of highschool? I learned fast. I WAS SAVED! It was a dream when I put on a black blazer. Skater is really just a big fat no no. HONESTLY, time to grow up boys. Further, living at Chicago’s University Center (Student housing for Columbia, Roosevelt, and DePaul) has really shown some interesting twists on this look. Colors, hairstyles, usually long and stringy, even the occasional neon tank-top. Headed to class, I was greeted every morning with a cloud of cigarette smoke and yelling as I walked by the smelly skaters. What GEMS!!!!! God, go play your guitar. Better yet, buy a GQ.
Also! I'm excited to see the beautiful Laura Sigal on friday!!
