The Anti-Cool Cool Kid

Jump to Comments

Mostly, for our ‘Looks That Caught the Eye’ posts, its really an instinctive, vibes kind of decisions as to whom to feature.

This time around, our subject appears at first glance to be an unlikely candidate:

Usually, my preference for men does not extend to goofy teenagers, but somehow, this particular one caught my fancy! I think he looks adorable with his too-big sweater (note the hidden hands) and carelessly wound scarf.

Now, this boy does not really struck you as the coolest kid in school. In fact, I imagined him to be more of a shy kid - likeable enough but not of the Prom King/Class President fabric. In fact, none of the pieces in his outfit is particularly trendy or fashionable.

In fact, he is so removed from the conventional definition of what is ‘cool’ that he may have come full circle to become actually cool. Am I confusing you? *laugh*

I think this is a perfect instance of how one must wear the clothes instead of the clothes wearing the person. I’m really grappling for the right words here, but I suspect it is the way he stands. The skinny jeans doesn’t hurt either

Then he appeared in Face Hunter as well! Now you know he’s something Two streetstyle blog appearances!

Once again, the too-long sleeves! Perhaps it is a trade-mark, or he is wearing hand-me-downs from a much bigger older brother

Everything is in the details. The quirky zip details. The clash of his printed scarf with his monochrome, striped sweater (which I really like).

I think I much prefer his boyish anti-cool to the loud, flashy, typical kind of teenage cool
