JKISSI : After the previous spring essentials I always felt the need to create a volume two , or maybe even three. We’re pretty much waist deep in the season of spring so why not bring the blank canvas back accompanied by the selected items for spring. Let me inform you guys this is no easy task here there is a abundance of gear out there, and only a limited space to put the items on. The first time around I placed some pretty basic items on the canvas ultimately revolving around the increased rain and L.L Bean Duck boots. I would like to drift away from there and talk about and talk about white jeans, yes the infamous white jeans. Various cuts from skinny to straight of white jeans can be pulled off very clean in outfits, pretty much making a simplistic fit pop. They’re made by various brands such as NDG,Dior,Cheap Monday, Levis so it shouldnt be too hard finding a pair. By the way finals come to a closing , me and Trav will be going overtime on the blog stay tuned.
Here is what I wore
Uniqlo – Cheap Monday – Clarks – Vintage old bag from my pops
1. J Crew Vintage Chambray Workshirt – $98.00
2. Sperry Topsider A/O 2 Eye – $84.95
3. Levis White Skinny 511 Jeans – $69.50
4. Hickey Style Button Down Fancy Plaid – $87.75
5. Grenson Stanley Brogue – $322.00
6.GAP V-Neck T-shirts (2 pack ) – $14.50
7. Converse Jack Purcells – $55.00
That’s a nice outfit. This is a real chill outfit. I wanted to ask y’all if you could do a post on fresh casual wear
Thanks
Meji , thanks man yeah man of cour my next fit will be something way more casual and chilling type ebcause I do that sometimes.
that jcrew shirt is perfect, and those JP converses are pretty cool too.
cool bag and clarks you’ve got on too.
i like the uni-qlo shirt.. i have the navy one..
i was really debating to pick up a pair of white jeans.
but i think you just confirmed why i should own a pair.
(by the way have you seen will i am on oprah the other day, im trying to find that blazer he had on,
it was amazing! any help any!?)

ooh.. also, are those gap v-necks any good??
believe it or not my mother told me to check them out.. she said i would like them.
when you blogged about on the gap, i never took the time to check them out,
i haven’t been in their in years.
i totally ignored to mention what will i am was doing on oprah..
that’s incredible of him, to go out his way to put 4 kids thru school
with no return on investment! WOW
and oprah co-signed it..
im bout to send them a letter myself.
Yeah Preaporter seriously i love that J.Crew shirt and thanks
Squincy , yeah you should pick them up though man , pretty good look for the warmer weather especially. I cant identify the blazer he has own, you should try to just get a slim fitting black one and you would be alright man. Yeah man I worked for the GAP the V-necks arent as bad as other things in the store. They’re definitetly tolerable depending on how you like your clothes to fit.
Yeah I watched the whole youtube vid good job to William helping the less fortunate because God knows school tuition is not cheap at all. Good job on that.
Hey you are amazing. Loving your site.
Wow.. love the color combo of this outfit man.. very dope you guys dont stop!! keep it coming
Hey man, love your spring essentials and i love your blog too.
Wow , great outfit right there my man really liking this blog also i agree with southsider real unique from the others i usually visit.. especially that you guys are from the Bronx ahah no offense just nothing fashionable comes out of the Bronx. Good shit though
good stuff man.. like the colors in that outfit.
Mmm chambray…
Josh, cream jeans go harder but I have those same purcells, and they’re an essential any time to me
Love them, they’re so much more comfortable than all stars
Carmela , thanks appreciate it
.
Somatirius, Good looks thats what were trying to do man , keep it coming man the semester is finally over so expect nothing short of greatness to occur lol.
TheSouthSider, I Remember telling you on twitter your blog was dope I stil lstand by that statement and thanks for the props just hearing that makes us want to go harder ya know! lol,
Freddy , lol damn what is this? pick on the Bronx week lol I have been hearing it all day. Its cool though lol thanks for compliments,
Whoknowsonly , yeha man the colors really jump out at you its real obvious what kind of color scheme i was going for here. Sometimes people overlook it.
MelNY, Yeah the chambray piece is dope from J.Cre you got to see it in person before your like damn this is tough lol, I do agree with you somewhat creame is a lil darker of a shade and doesnt get that dirty like white. I’m going to be looking for some perfect creame jeans for this spring/summer
what do you have helmut lang ones?
Definitely been meaning to get my Chambray for sometime now. I’ve been procastinating. Anyways as for #5 check these joints out.http://www.josbank.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Merchant_Id=1&Section_Id=13790&pcount=&Product_Id=398808 They’re same, but in black.
Absolutely love how you guys dress!
& it must be hard as straight guys can’t accessorize as much as girls & there isn’t as much choice.
man i wish i could dress anywhere near as well as you guys(girl version), just can’t really afford all these nice clothes, but after my exams planning on getting stuff from charity shops & redesigning it. & designing my own stuff:)
if it all happens well, may link some pics to you guys if you’re interested at all!
once again, amazing blog.
The look is clean without a doubt. Real talk, the site is dope. Your post about getting your A.P.C.’s tailored inspired me to do the same to my Ralph Lauren double R’s… granted I go to school in the middle of nowhere Virginia, not in NYC so we will see how they turn out. I found your site through MarcusTroy.com (don’t remember how I ended up there) but I look forward to seeing more regular posts from you guys. I am in college myself, and I know how hard it is to keep up regular blog posts while the school year is in full effect.
Haha this reminds me of something. It reminds me that I’ll have to invade my dads tie drawer and closet sometime. I gotta get some new boat shoes so I might go with sperry. Also, white jeans would definently go with anything. They might even be an any season essential.
I need to go buy some shirts too. Where to cop the waves?
good stuff homie.
great taste, the minute i saw the grenson stanley brogue pop up in that chesnut brown, I honestly started to drool…like ALOT! and im pretty sure im going to buy a pair from Tres.
To be honest, I’m not too fond of white jeans for obvious jeans. Cream or sand colored ones would look better, but that’s just me. Either way, this still looks extremly nice.
yeh the white jeans are a def essentialist for the spring and you rocked the hell out of them. Really feeling those topsiders. Your desert boots still fresh. Keep the comments rolling guys.
Contragulations man, you have wonderful sets on Lookbook
jsw_2003 , Yeah everyone is feeling the chambray man , i went to the site and checked out the wingtips they look good I would buy them if they were in chestnut in a heartbeat lol.
Mili , thanks its crazy hard to accessorize like women because they have a wide variety of things to choose from. Us guys we are very much limited so I buy some bracelets from my job. Pocket squares from other shops the only choices we have really. I need to really buy some more pocket squares though been looking into that for a while.
Chris, I was hoping my post made people more comfortable about going to the tailor , but it was Trav who did it successful while my jeans got messed up in the process lol , His APC Petite standards didnt fit the way he wanted them to so he went to tailor to get them fixed, and thats what spawned whole thing of us trying to find a tailor. Oh yeah Marcus Troy is a good friend of ours , guy is really doing his thing. The thing with school and blogging it gets difficult as hell to study and think of ideas to post. We really brainstorm on post on how we want to present it on the blog to our readers. Definitetly more regular post schools over !!!
Reggie, Yeah man its one of the messengers my dad has had for years and I saw it in the back of closet doing nothing. Decided to clean it up a bit and give it a go , functioning just like its brand new, thing is it is a natural leather bag so it has been worn in quite good. Recently i have been looking for a natural leather duffle bag. LOL Cop the waves?.. only with a brush my brother lol
King, yes man the Grenson’s are definitetly dapper enough to be in my closet right now lol no joke, its like damn so clean quality looks superb what else is there to say ya know. How are those Red Wings ?
Alexandre B , Hey man I wasn’t forcing people to like white jeans lol just a thought , but definitetly cream jeans would be something serious liek I said up there with MELNY im pretty sure Helmut Lang made a pair. You know any other brands that made any? btw thx
Adriano , thanks man lookbook has grown from something small from when I was first on there , you can even see the earlier outfits to something well known over the internet its crazy lol.
yeah I know my dad has 1 or 2 but they’re black though…
Wow, love the green with the white jeans.
Reggie, oh you should cop your own man need that man.
Matt Fox, thanks man appreciate it! , speaking of you guys fine and dandy, I’m going to need some pocketsquares from you guys about to go your site and make my choices lol.
Yeah , I see the silver pocket square in the back of your pocket really completes the outfit in my opinion
Green/White/Tan/Silver .. i see what you did Josh lol
pocet squares are dope tho
Jkissi
what kills me about will i am’s blazer is the collar.. its really clean and discreet
i have a grey club monaco vest with the same collar.. people always find it interesting
when i have it on. but i hope i find that piece..
and notice he had one some white denim with it too.
i’m definitely gonna pick some white jeans after my chino hunt is over
i need one more pair.
Its a good look bro…
This Spring and Summer should be fun in terms of styles we put together… can’t wait
I love this blog! just found you guys from a link on someone elses site I just clicked it like w.e let me see what this is. Come to find out you guys are are one of the best out there!!
Nice spring stuff you should do a guide for the ladies also
Somatirius, Glad you peeped that I need some more man!
Squincy , Yeah man your right its real discrete but at the same time looks real good. yeah i noticed that i was looking at his wholefit.
Coldsun, yeah man serious ive been looking forward to this through the whole winter. Funny because as soon as August hits I will be dying for Fall and Winter fashion , just an on going cycle i guess lol.
Maria, Thank you we really appreciate it , good idea maybe we will do something for the ladies soon have a guest blogger or something.
WOWWW, LOVE YOUR STYLE, YOU LOOKS GREAT AND YOU MIX THE COLORS TO PERFECTION !!!! lOVE YOUR BOOTS AND YOUR HANDBAG AND ALWAYS THE WHITE JEANS … fantastic
Nice to see the J. Crew chambray getting more love. I recently got mine back from the tailor(pablo), and he did such an amazing job. Sleeves tapered, body tapered, armholes raised – fits like a glove now. I’m gonna wear it until it disintegrates!
Yeah J I have the Helmut Lang creamys
Quality is amazing, one of the belt loops is white leather as well
With darts above and below the knee but they recently started to rip after my like 30th wear so I’m searching for the same pair now
Mariona, Thanks!! really appreciate it I checked out your blog very very nice especially the photos I’m curious to know what your shooting with.
Willy Cheesesteak, That sounds good man I know for a fact pablo hooked that shirt up man I’m thinking of bringing to him this vintage Pendleton shirt I got off of ebay. Thats funny you mention that because last time when I was picking up my suit some older black guy in there was talking about he has lived all over the city , but no one can tailor like Pablo saying him and his friends used to bring pounds of clothes to get tailored lol .
Melny, yeah I figured those were them from the previous pictures or w.e I’m definitetly going have to search for them to see how they fit on me and all that. They look tough though.
I like this dope stuff josh.
You are one of the best dressed people I have ever seen. Def. one of my favorite wdywt posters on HB. Your fits are inspirational. Keep doing your thing man……(no homo)
It doesnt hae to be “homo” that your complimenting him on the way he is dressing man. They are both good dressers I bet they get complimented frequently , but the no homo thing could of not been said lol. Its all good though man.
Kiss…Fresh To Death as usual
I like the Color of that shirt
