My Winter Looks

The Lumberjack look S/S 2011

Flannel , denim shorts and a pair of boots complete my ideal urban lumberjack look.A look inspired by the Hipster movement in The U.S. of A. I first saw images of the Hipster movement in an issue of DETAILS magazine, which featured scruffy young guys making the most of what they have. Clothes worn by the hipsters were all second hand old stuff, items of clothing people throw away , and the cool kids (Hipsters) would re-style the items of clothing, creating a chilled indie look.

Wearing: Flannel button down shirt(Redbat by Sportscene);Black denim D.I.Y jeans(Levi's); Reebok boots; white T-shirt(Woolworths)

Enough with the formalities

This look was a cut and pace idea, at times I don't plan my outfits , I just put them together as I go , depending on the time I have at the time. This outfit gives a sense of the items I posses in my wardrobe. My wardrobe is made up of a grey color scheme , full with v-neck jerseys , button down shirts and blue jeans.

My prep look is casual and comfortable. Leading to some of my friends naming me Mr urban, named after the store and the clothes I posses at home.

Wearing: shirt and v-neck jersey (Urban);Jeans (Vertigo); Prim-soles(vans).

Vintage look

The day I came to school in this outfit , I got told I was sporting a vintage look.My Rayband look a likes were actually a present from a girl I met at Lisof and the trench was a gift from my grandmother. This vintage look was put on by chance and ended up looking ok . I would like to think my general appearance comes off as chilled , laid back and effortless.

Wearing: Trench( Markhams); Hunting shoes (Woolworths); sunglasses (gift from a friend)

Casual Larry

I just recently came up with this outfit, the items featured hear have never been put together . Its actually a virgin look. The denim look was put together in an effort to come across as urban , something I've never done before, although each singular item has been worn countless times.This look is a combination of my favorite items in my wardrobe.

Wearing:Indigo vest (Jay Jays); Denim Jacket(Levi's); Jeans(vertigo); Hunting boots(Woolworth's).

Trend observation: The lumberjack look

This months trend report is based on the combination of denim and flannel, the urban lumberjack look . The lumberjack look has been around for ages now, constantly being re-invented each season , but this time the look is here to stay.After the recent hipster movement making its mark in the world of pop culture the vintage lumberjack look was one of the trends that caught on.

The lumberjack look has been seen in both winter season and recently summer , with each season featuring both flannel and denim but executed and styled in different ways.

Summer 2010/2011 saw the use of denim in self made denim shorts .Flannel was implemented in button down shirts. The lumber jack look not being complete without a choice in boots, was a look to be reckoned with and still is today.

Winter 2011 saw the lumberjack look being re-invented and combined with the military look. New York Fashion week fall\Winter 2011 featured key items such as military boots, flannel jackets lined with fur and of course an assortment of denim jeans in men's fashion shows

The cool girls from UCT I call my friends decided to pop into Joburg this past weekend, for a party appropriately titled: "America, you couldn't walk there". The gathering was held at The Town Hall in Newton , with a tragic band line up that featured the likes of The Frown, Desmond and the Tu Tu's as well as the Tidal Waves.
