We've combined a few trends to get this look: colorized, shades of blue, summer layers, and well, jean. Basically we've jeaned up urban gent Kanayo King, threw in some 'characterized' classic chucks, classic frames, and beaded accessories to top it all off.
Detailed Notes: These days when you opt for monochromatic or colorized, you can either keep it classic 80s with everything matching exactly or you can update it and add depth by varying the shade of the color you're wearing... we did the latter. We also mixed jean textures: chambray shirt, hard denim vest, and soft denim jeans-- this adds a sort of visual interest to the look and it gives it a bit of stylish ruggedness. (PS: The vest is actually a vintage jean jacket with the sleeves cut off).

The designer jeans are just amazing. They are perfect for the Urban Gentleman.
ReplyDeleteThose pants...I just don't know about them. But some of the shirts are really nice. It's funny how fashion seems to be heading back to the 80s & 90s! LOL
