My Credentials:

I shop at the Gap, H&M, and Urban Outfitters. I've been known to spend hours browsing the Amazon clothing section in search of that one amazing find. I'm a new age window shopper, spending much of my spare time sifting through Express, Banana Republic, Calvin Klein, Topman and a multitude of other outlets 96 items at a time. I read GQ and skim Esquire while reading Askmen fashion articles. I have RSS feeds for Kempt and Hypebeast and at times I even look at the Sartorialist. I'm intrigued with looking good and I love that feeling you get when a well put together outfits turns into a fantastic ensemble. I'm no slave to fashion, mind you, I just simply appreciate a classic and classy look that shows a timeless professionalism and sophistication as well as a presence of mind that says I’m not a filthy bum, I'm serious and I belong here. But sometimes there are pieces that go too far. There are particular sartorial extravagances that leave me wondering: does someone actually wear this stuff? Here will be the home of my finger pointing and heckling at some of the more interesting and nonsensical fashion pieces out there.
