Brainslip's Guide to Male Street Fashion



































These days if you look like a chump you're gonna be treated like one. Tucked in shirts, loafers, briefcases - all signs to folks on the streets. Signs to beat you up and take your money.

The streets are tough - lean back a little too far, and someone's likely gonna take it as an invite to knock you over and take your money.

Walk around wearing tight ass jeans and the circulation to your head is gonna get cut off. Someone's gonna take this as an invite to give you the old street noose. You'll be waking up in the emergency room. Where's your wallet, you might ask? They took it.

Hair is protection from street thugs and huslers. Wear it short and you might as well just ask for a good beating. Walk around hatless and you walk around practically asking to be scalped. Rule number one of the streets: keep it out in the open and it will be destroyed or stolen, including your blood. Everything has a value on the streets. If you're not protecting it, someone will gladly take that prized possession off your hands.

Before you walk out of the house, think again, and remember this list of looks to keep you from trippin up.

Street smart hairdos:
ponytails, goatees, sideburns, dreadlocks, long in the back mullets, sk8r cuts

Street smart coats:
dark trenchcoats, baggy sport team jackets, army coats

Street smart lids:
fedora, kangol, newsboy, porkpie, sports caps

Street smart accessories:
skull jewelry, big chains, metal rings, bonewear

Street smart pants:
pants with multiple utility loops, widelegs, pants with chains, leather, track, army

Bro's Guide to the Mish




















Yo Bros check out this new hip neighborhood, they've got it all - Mexicans, art, cheap brews, parks, bikes, and babes. It's called the Mission, aka the Mish, dummy. You never heard? Well here's the scoop:

Zeitgeist
Yo man, this place has no lines if you need to take a wiz. Plus, there's like 50 cold brews on tap. Chill vibe and cool peeps. Dope ass grub if you're growling. Don't forget to tip your bartenders!

Papalote
Best burrito in the city. Period.

Bruno's
Classic joint with old time feel. Brings you back to the good old Mad Men days. Know what I mean, bro?

Baby Blues
Yo dude, remember that spring break in NOLA? This shit brings me back. Nuff said.

Mariachis
Crazy strong margs and the waitresses are hotties with rad back tats.

Delirium
Babes here are way easy and dumb. Not even a challenge but whatevs.

Medjool
Dude, sit down for this one. It's a fucking rooftop bar with kick ass views of downtown. What more do you want, bro? Bonus points if you spew off the roof on hipsters.
