The Euro Look

I'd call this look the Euro look. Europeans tend to have a bold yet classy look, which is exactly what this man has got going on. His orange pants and his thick curly hair are the bold showpieces while the rest of the outfit is solid support. The part that is classy are the shoes and the collar. Look at that thing! It screams well dressed. He'd fit in well at a club or even an upscale event. The orange pants remind me of my hilarious tour guide in Europe, Biagio. Man that guy was awesome. You could see his pants for miles.

Burning Man

These dashing young lads are exhibiting classic Burning Man costumes. The guy on the left has some of the coolest pants ever. These stand out a lot and are definitely the showpiece. I believe the pants are Rainbow Brights. The second showpiece is his hair which is long and curly. The supporting pieces are the tanktop and shoes. The guy on the right's showpieces are his hair and the bright red pants. They are great. The shirt is a solid supporting piece that looks a bit like a pirate shirt (or like the Puffy Shirt in Seinfeld). The blue jacket is also a slid supporting piece. These both stood out at Burning Man.

The fashion stereotype at Burning Man is that there is no stereotype. There are certain elements that a lot of people have - boots, cowboy hats, furry clothes, bandanas, and lights. Always lights (at least at night). The great thing about it is that you can do pretty much anything except dress like normal and be able to fit in. The more outlandish the better generally. Good places to get clothes for Burning Man are costume shops and vintage stores.

What a Hipster (Again)

Look at this guy. It doesn't get much more hipster than this. He's got the Buddy Holly glasses, the studs in the ears, and the hair parted to the side. He is more of a punk hipster - the haircut screams it as do the tattoos on his right arm. And to top it off, he's working at a coffee shop in none other than the Mission District in SF.

Well Dressed Look

This guy is doing a high end well dressed look. It's not the James Bond look since it's not a suit. However, no one can look at him and say that he's not classy. The Burberry scarf is a nice touch on top of a well fitted tweed-like jacket. Skinny jeans are always classy and his dark shoes blend well with teh rest of the outfit.

Not so sure about the woman behind him. She might be a bit unstable or something.

The Bro

Classic bro. Pink shirt rolled up, khaki shorts. The hat gives it a bit of a classier Latin/South Beach of Florida kind of look. The shoes are slim and a light color so they are a good supporting piece. The only ways to make it even bro-ier are to pop the collar and wear those brown sandals instead of the shoes. Overall, an effective look.

Surfer Dude

SURFER DUDE! Only outside of San Francisco would I see a character such as this. Surfer dude is pretty much exclusively found on the beach but this time I found him at Coachella. Notice his Spicoli-like hair, swimming trunks, and sandals. Combined with the sunglasses on his head and his tan, he is the epitome of Surfer Dude.

The imitable Jeff Spicoli, played by Sean Penn in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

What a Hipster

This guy is clearly a huuuuuge hipster. I saw him in none other than the Mission, at a tea shop down there (Om Shan Tea, in case you were wondering. It's a pretty wonderful place). Check out his skinny jeans, hipster sunglasses, American Apparel hoodie, and Toms Shoes. The only thing missing is a can of PBR in his hand. I also happened to run into him a few weeks later at the Coachella music festival, another hotbed of hipsterdom, while watching an epic concert by The National.
