But you can't just slap on Brooks running shoes and think you're good to go: These sneakers aren't athletic sneakers. The wingtip is a hat tip to more formal menswear, and the elastic laces don't require floppy bunny ears, creating a clean silhouette.

    Love it. All of it.

  • Robert Wallace

    Good stuff!

  • Charlie

    Like the 2nd option

  • Grover

    Dig the 2nd look. Nice to see something not so preppy for a change!

      You don’t think a shawl collar cardigan is preppy? 🙂 Just messing with you, glad you like it!

      • Grover

        Ha. It’s all in what you pair it with, I guess.

  • proteinnerd

    Really like the quick explanations on why it works

      I’m happy they’re helpful. 🙂

  • Sam

    Yeah man, great stuff! Looking forward to more of your ideas on here!

  • Wyatt

  • bankc11

    Great stuff as always! Just a heads up, the Pinterest link isn’t showing the picture where it shows which stores you can buy the clothes from.

    • http://www.primermagazine.com/ Andrew

      Thanks for letting me know, I’m not sure what would cause that! I’ll look into it.

  • Ross

    Great Job Shane. I’m a huge fan of the second one. The only thing I don’t care for in the first look is the Jacket. Its a little too urban looking for my taste. Do you have an alternative choice for the Jacket?

  • Rob

    The colors and textures all work, but why are your jeans rolled up? Did you order them a size too long by accident?

    • Justin

      Cuffs look good and are part of the look.

  • Zac Silk

    Does anyone have any advice on how the shawl collar cardigan should fit? I’ve got a few, some that are a medium, more loose and end mid fly. As well as some that are a small and are quite tight.

    I bought the blue shoes in the second look, but they tore my heels up to the point where I’ve had to send them back. Just a heads up

      Wrong size maybe? I haven’t had that problem.

    A new Kobe 11 has surfaced, and it immediately enters the conversation for best Kobe 11 colorway yet. Best one possible?Dubbed the Nike Kobe 11 4KB, the shoe sports solid white throughout much of the execution tongue, Swoosh, sole and the Flyknit uppers toe and heel. But kobe high top the Flyknit construction also taps its most beloved style, as a multicolored mix joins the midfoot, the perfect pop of color against the sea of subdued white.The Nike Kobe 11 4KB release date looks to be nike free 30 set for March 14. Stay tuned for further updates and detailed photos.The holiday moniker is additionally seen with more The Nike Kobe 10 Elite Christmas is the last and fourth model featured from the Cheap KD 7 upcoming 2015 Christmas pack, which also includes the KD 8, Kyrie 2 and LeBron 13.Let’s face it, only one or maybe two people will be able to find that special signed pair of Kobe 11s, kobe x for sale but there will also be another special Kobe sneaker releasing in LA this week.

Mache Customs created the Nike Kobe 9 “Iron Man’ that looks like they can be worn by Tony Stark himself.

    Anyone find any replacements for the blue varsity jacket in the first one? Both seem to be sold out.
