Miguel's guide to being popular in williamsburg! pt 1
We will start with the proper attire, from head to toe, first of all, you need to own a Castelli Retro Cycling Cap with that hat you'll need have some glasses that aren't prescription, Maybe some ray ban originals, or some old vintage something you found a thrift store. Scarves are good, any kind as long as they say look at me I'm sad and happy, and I need attention, shirt always do the v neck deep if you can, american apparel good, if you can find a cool old t shirt at buffalo exchange that has something like a smurf on it, cut it and turn it into a deep v and you should be straight. some days when it's really hot, you could put on a tank top, make sure it has a statement on it, if you can get a fluorescent one, and if you are skinny enough you can wear a small/tight t shirt with the sleeves cut off, at night time you could never go wrong with a cardigan or some type of flannel, an old crew neck sweat shirt that you find at a goodwill is acceptable, but make sure it says something on it like camp blah blah blah 1987 or Shorecrest middle school class of 93, lumber jacks are cool, ladies just wear big dirty faux fur jackets from the 80's! If you need to carry some stuff a bike messenger bag is awesome! pant are simple, the tighter the better, skinny jeans! black jeans are good, but they should be faded to the point where they're grey, levi's are cool, ladies, think spandex, fishnets, lace, liquid leggings, etc.. in the summer it gets hot, guys cut off jeans as short as you want, the shorter the better it proves that you are secure in your sexuality.... You can also get some vintage jogging shorts! ladies cut of jeans work for you too, wife beaters any and all colors work, v necks with now bra tucked into a flower print skirt tank now socks are very important you can wear any kind as long as they're not white and if they are whit they need to have stripes at the top, argyle is good, but if you can get some animals on them or some old hip cartoons you be at your best, depending on you shoes you might not even want to wear socks. Moving on to shoes, shoe are tricky, if you are just a baby hipster I would say just stick to vans, you want them to be white and dirty, for the more experienced, you should have some pointed dress shoes, loafers, throw back Nikes, or big reeboks if you can find them red wing boots or doc martins for the winter, designer shoes are key, because the rest of your outfit can look bummy, but.... but, your shoes fall in the upper echelon of the fashion world and you and anyone thats hip knows that, women should go for the booties, black, grey, so you can wear them with anything, you should also have some keds with no laces and hunter golashes (rain boots) for the winter, if you're a seasoned vet, you'll go avant garde and get crazy! This is the first post of many, please do not try this until you have read all the parts, I don't want anyone to get berated on the L train for not knowing who morrissey is because you couldn't wait until the music section came out! remember be save and sad, and elitist!
