All trash. only casual winter outfit.
not wearing no adidas and be suspected as no gang banger or fuck boy for that matter.
I agree with unauthentic. If you keep this blog post updated it’s pretty bad. But if you don’t i suggest you update it.
Everyone has their own likes, dislikes and taste – we’re sorry we couldn’t cater to yours.

Well written blog.
Personally, among the celebrities, I like the dressing sense of Johnny Depp – wacky (a fedora, lots of chains and bead bracelets etc.) yet stylish & classy … I guess it borders on underplayed steam-punk.
Thanks for your kind words.

Blog is awesome! What site can I find that specific shirt and pants that are shown in #5 (spring wear)? I’ve been searching but no luck. Also, who is the model who is in the picture?
I feel as though there is very little useful content in this article. just an excuse to post handsome celebrities. I’m a black man with my own fashion since but ended up here looking for inspiration unfortunately there is none to be found. I would be helpful if you focused more on the actual style and not candid pics and listed where you readers can find similar looks. In closing just, a helpful hint if you’re going to write for a black man, it might be helpful to have one or two as a source.
