Is the guy in Outfit C there as a joke? Or is that what the kids think is “Best Dressed” these days?

Do these guys work at Target HQ?

I thought the official hipster outfit was a thrift store sports coat and an ironic 1980s anti-drug tshirt. Did I not get the memo about the suspenders?

A: The Heights Cinema just called…they’re looking for a new ticket taker.
B: The Dave Clark 5’s Tailor Just Called…and you make him feel Glad All Over
C: Kate Moss called…she wants her collarbone back

I’m sorry, but what a bunch of pussies.

Those are not suspenders they are bracers.

A very popular item among late 80’s skinheads. In red only.

Actually both B and C are heavily influenced by Mod Fashion.
Better get our that Anorak hipsters, its getting cold.

Bit of self disclosure…I have a Juicy Couture Anorak with real faux fur and punk rockish patches and silk screening.

I don’t think you have to go back to the Dave Clark 5 (How OLD are you?). I dressed like ‘B’ when I was in High School.

But ‘A’ – Captain Kangaroo called and he wants his jacket back…

I have to agree with baker. I’m a skinny bastard myself, but somewhere deep inside me I feel an immutable need to kick these assholes in the teeth.

Digging through crates of dusty vinyl knows no age.

Skinny guys are hot…these guys though, not so much…

I’m sorry, but what a bunch of pussies.

I suppose that comment applies to every single link in this post.

No, just the guys in the pictures.

You’re no fun.

Ugly people saying ugly things.

I think the hipster headline gets pulled out when you haven’t shown each other often enough how angry and insecure you all are. Works every time.

i think they’re all kinda cute. you’re not really suggesting that they pack on the pounds and start sporting pleated dockers, are you?

Bartelby, seriously, if these guys are not hipsters, what the hell are they?

Not nice people here in Trolltown.

The Rat would have to vote None of the Above for those three.

Oh, come on, don’t be so curmdgeonly — the middle guy looks great. His cuffs, the length of his tie, it’s all perfect. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

Andy, we understand. It was your first modeling shoot. It could have been worse. You could have been ‘C’.

Next time, try a little more pout. That will at least win over some of the ladies.

No, you’re just angry and you don’t know why.

It’s not the category that matters, it’s the derogatory responses people have towards people who look and act differently…. Really, we are getting way more info about the people making comments than we are about some dudes hanging out backstage at a fashion show!

Andy, we understand. It was your first modeling shoot.

Ha! If that were me, I would be out right now accepting free nine dollar cocktails from physically perfect, independently wealthy Nordic goddesses instead of sitting in Powderhorn eating noodles out of a cardboard carton.

Seriously, that Dave Clark Five look is pretty outstanding. What’s not to like about that outfit? It’s understated, it’s classic, the lines are all perfect. I will not mock well-appointed outfits! I just won’t! It’s not how my mother raised me!

(Insofar as the seemingly much-reviled option C, I wore glasses like that all through college, of course.)

At the risk of losing my old-man-suburbanite card; I think Option A and B both look pretty darn good. Great sense of style… cool-looking guys.

Those men need beat up. Where do you suppose they work? Jon English?

Okay, I don’t know where that website gets all its pictures. I just don’t ever want to be there. On second thought, maybe I do. How well do you think a “Four more years!” chant would go over?

“Four more years” of what, Kevin?

Your old-man-burbite card is safe.

Your orientation, however, will be discussed later.

Real men aren’t supposed to be that skinny.

Aren’t those guys Franz Ferdinand?

Huh… option C seems to be winning.
