Socks is high: this girl doesn't exactly look amazing in general, but the choice of gray socks is ... clever.

Gray socks strike again (why because they look etc.)

"Did you just call me a yuppie? Thanks, that's kind of the look I was working on!"

Picturing this man on a fashion blog is like announcing that you hate everything there is to hate about legs.

Man, if I were wearing a collar that great, I would so not distract from it with those boots.

ipod headphones?

(was that rhetorical?)

No, I really couldn't tell! That makes perfect sense, though.

nabisco is not as good at fashion crit as the Tracer Hand is.

now do some don'ts nabisco

Tracer Hand aka Leatherpants McGee

Are you trying to create ILX's own Vice?

I love that girl's bag up there.

This is not do's + don'ts, this is poking around various blogs and discussing (with myself, evidently)!

Recommend justglitterlust.blogspot.com for peek into fashions of Tallinn, Estonia.

P.S. Anyone remember my timeline of the 00s where I predicted "skank saturation" and "skank backlash?" Can we consider this "skank backlash?"

dude in the brown members only jacket looked like he stepped off the film set of Barcelona.

There were a ton of mannequins at Macy's this past weekend donning the gray knee high sock look.

Cuz he kinda looks like Chris Eigmann!

he does!

Maroon sweater man looks like Jack McBrayer.

I love maroon sweater man.

Someone needs to photoshop Maroon Cardigan so he's stepping off a plane onto a pre-statehood Hawaiian island.

There are at least three other guys in Stockholm who look basically like that -- one looked even better, due to shoe/shirt coordination -- but I skipped along.

Hello, Estonia!

Note, re: Maroon Cardigan: two bags!

One is a portfolio, Nabisco. For his art.

that woman is beautiful but clearly insane.

her cheekbones are delicious.

her yellow bow, however, is not.

I love the yellow bow, but not with psychedelic purple leggings so much.

Haha I might think she were terrific fun if we met! But to me, that isn't fashion. She's a mess.

bow over that hole in the dress doesn't do much for me. what is even going on there?

i've seen gray socks chick with librarian glasses at least three times on different fashion blogs - some kind of uncanny talent of casually running into street photographers?

Maybe that woman could hook up with this fellow Tallinner:

xpost - probably a model, Roz!

WAHT IS GOING ON WITH HIS JEANS?!

The redhead w/ grey socks is so beautiful up above that she's physically hurting me...but the babyish stoop and the teal satin heels worn like Mama's dress up are making me want to slap her. You're going to force me to post snappy jpgs of my own in self-defense, aren't you.

xp ahahahahahahahha

Who here would have the joie de vivre to wear this?

http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1227/531237454_d919ee8692.jpg?v=0

I covet her shoes (beautiful redhead w/ gray socks + adolescent posture)

Good lord. I'm trying to find something positive to say about the purple faux bag lady but I am failing miserably. She's pretty. But damn, those clothes. You can't even say she raided her gran's closet, because, well, I doubt even in gran's time those clothes were fashionable. Her boobs look larger than they are because of the mix(up) and those leggings make my migraine attack explode in a million headaches.

Hey I know! She's a hooker and you can only practice safe sex by putting your penis through the hole!

contraceptive yellow bow? I'd buy that.

The thing about the purple dress girl is that I think if you weren't nice to her, she'd slap you and sweep all the drinks off your table with one arm. That's what her look is saying to me.

HA! Me too.

This would be so great, but the slim/shrunken jacket pulls at his shoulders in a way that winds up looking Frankensteinish -- apparently this is the one man in the world who is too tall for fashion?

http://bp3.blogger.com/_qjpwnPW4c1o/RtLMMv4lLII/AAAAAAAAB8U/jfsz25AJyEk/s400/GQParis3.jpg

Oxbloods w/ red socks = WIN / WIN

But yeah, DNW wrists sticking out like chicken legs.

This looks great in a fashion blog photo, but if you were actually watching this guy walk toward you, you would absolutely think "WTF is he trying to do with those pants?"

http://bp1.blogger.com/_qjpwnPW4c1o/Rs2Dhf4lK7I/AAAAAAAAB6s/VM4uO6t2-lk/s400/MadPlaid.jpg

Yeah, no. That guy is a perfect example of why people think clothes look good when PEOPLE look good. He's hot, okay? And again, red socks win. But overall...no.

i don't know why i hate the kneesocks and heels thing so much. to do the innocent/sexy knee socks thing you gotta do little girl shoes. the combo does not compute. it screams slutty halloween costume.

I think I hate the kneesocks and heels thing because I love heels. I just imagine the socks bunching around the ankle and uglying everything up.

um, just a bit g-a-y. i like it, though! probably looks great on you.

bring me back some novelty snack foods!

Don't worry, Phil, it's being gay that is actually making you look a bit gay. Not the jacket's fault.

the best part about it is the label is called "Diet Butcher Slim Skin"

well, there you go.

Why don't you just wear a Pierrot costume out to the clubs, Phil?

I like the jacket! Did you get the America sneaks, Phil? I had a dream I bought a pair last night.

Re. celebrities in badly chosen designer clothes, am reminded of what Tom Ford reportedly said when he discovered Victoria Beckham was wearing all this Gucci: 'AAAAGH! How do we get it OFF her?"

Tom Ford apparently forgot those were the only clothes she had on the Spice Bus! "Should I wear the little Gucci dress, the little Gucci dress, or the little Gucci dress?" A debate for the ages.

phil, i love the jacket. if anyone can carry it off, you can.

i'm glad that people have moved away from hoodies and everything but dudes what is with your cardigans these days and why do none of them ever fit you?

Phil, if you don't keep that thing I WANT. Also Lauren would like a turquoise Comme wallet.

i have not moved away from hoodies

but i also think my return to band shirts is fashion fwd
also i really shouldn't wear these pants to work anymore
i said this months ago when they started falling apart, and i say it now that i notice that bike riding has caused structural damage to inner thigh area

my co-worker just made this grand arm gesture at me and said 'i like casual friday robyn; it's the real robyn'
lol
i need more dresses guys

Why don't you just wear a Pierrot costume out to the clubs, Phil?

haha, i hate you. btw, you still coming to ny next week? you should put on this miu miu dress and we can go clubbin'

http://style.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/2007/10/08/miumiu.jpg

i guess also rrrobyn, here's a dress if you want. its really $$$$ though

I like the jacket! Did you get the America sneaks, Phil?
i hesitated and they sold out my size. maybe for the best, really

elmo, where do you live? do you want to contribute photos to streetpeeper please?

hey guys where can i find slim-fit shorts

that dont cost me $120

phil, i live in providence, ri -- may not be the best time of year for photos as all the risd & brown kids just moved out for the summer, but i wouldn't flat-out reject the opportunity

max, i'm wearing some banana republic cotton slacks that i cut off, i think a similar strategy might be best for u 2

yeah i have no idea where to get slim cut shorts for not crazy $$$. i saw some from band of outsiders for like $200... oof.

elmo, oh, ok well when the kiddies come back if you want to take pics whenever, that would be cool. i trust you wont be creepy when taking pics of the girls like my last friend who used this as a way to pick up girls

don't think you have to worry about that w/elmo.

hahaha

well if i had a camera i'd definitely use it to talk to mennnn

he posted that before Excel even finished loading

My sister got cute slim shorts from H&M.

Um oh zowee

http://hel-looks.com/?p=image/archives/2/20080605_01/

Please confirm / deny that I'm not crazy and this guy actually has a devil-horn tattoo thing going on

maybe interesting article by virginia heffernan om "street-style photoblogs" including garance doré, which i don't really love.

1.

^^^still lovin this guy

2. I have a nice black Stetson Homburg, but it makes me look like I can't decide whether I'm Amish or an Orthodox Jew (I have actually had two different people decide I must be Israeli because of it)

you should probably wear this 24 hours a day 7 days a week

Hey guys remember the whole long argument we had upthread about the girl from the twee fashion blog, with the barrette and the cardigan and whatnot? I was looking at Facebook the other day and there she was, staring out from a friend's list of friends. Turns out that photo was a promo for her band, the Budgies. They're Swedish and pretty obviously twee.

Now for those of us who have been afraid to wear leggings, fear no more. One of the biggest trends that have hit the runways and stores hard this season… JEGGINGS! Yes ladies, jean leggings. We must be extra careful with these as well. Jeggings have the same structure as leggings- very little. Though they are made to look more like jeans, it is probably a good idea we still keep our behind covered. Jeggings will provide us all a chance to stay in fashion while still remaining comfortable, but in order for us to be happy we must keep in mind the fashion aspect, or else they will not be around for long.

Jeans are an item that will forever stay in style. Denim can be dressed up or dressed down and paired with almost any accessory. Jeans vary with each individual, that is what makes them so unique. Because of the several structures of jeans, there is a pair for every body type. The classic look of denim will never fade.

Jeggings are comfortable and fashionable at the moment. Even names who are known for their quality denim have adapted this latest trend in their lines! They can fool other people into thinking they are actually jeans. Jeggings are a fabulous accessory to any ensemble as long as they are worn correctly. Jeggings are a hot trend for both spring and fall, so have fun, be comfortable, but wear them well!

OH LOOK HERE'S SOME JEGGINGS

FFS, jeggings - the only item of clothing with its own Gawker hashtag.

OH NO, JEGGINGS ARE OVER

Granted, I wear my jeans tight enough they might as well be leggings...these Levi's 545s I bought last night are crazy stretchy.

*Starting to wonder if boys can share in the jeggings fun, too*

laurel you mean jeggings!

I've never meant anything less in my life.

CMON, JEGGINGS!

Imagine if jeggings and dennings were around in '99:

I was so happy this thread was revived. Imagine my disappointment when it was re the worst thing known to man :(

man that picture is so amazing

I took a picture in horror of a storefront proudly introducing their jeggings. Damn.

you have no idea how much I'd like to try on a pair of these

i never knew people thought she was not the best, being ignorant i always just assumed she was like the most important fashion person, from reading her blog
