While it originated in the 1940’s Jazz era, it’s now generally associated with millennials who are into artisan foods, super-progressive viewpoints, and preferences for all-things alternative, including lifestyles and music. But even these core hipster values barely scrape the tip of the iceberg. As we explore the hipster style, perhaps we can gain greater insight on these modern day rebels who have such a lack of concern for what you, or anyone else thinks.

• The Hipster Style
• The Hipster Guy
• The Hipster Chick
• The Modern Hipster Rebel

But who actually cares what the critics think? Let’s face it, if there wasn’t a little bit of controversy surrounding the “assassins of cool”, then they simply wouldn’t be as cool as they are. Hipsters are modern day rebels because they go against the grain. Non-hipsters want to be hipsters simply because of the attractive qualities of a free spirited individual who refuses to conform, follow tradition, or succumb to the customs of every generation before.

Whether you see a hipster rockin’ tight pants and round-framed glasses, or a grunge jacket from the 90s, there’s always going to be someone telling them to fall in line.

Well guess what people, falling in line just isn’t what we do. We’re here to shake things up, live a sweet life, and do epic shit.

Just keep doing you!

After my recent visit to Jermyn Street I found myself craving a pair of new brown shoes to add some spice to my wardrobe. On searching I could hear the words of gentleman from a bygone age ringing in my ears…. ‘No brown in town’!

To add to the dilemma, when looking in the window of my favourite shoemakers shop windows, there were the finest brown leather shoes on display – even though these stores were in the very heart of the city.

It was enough to make any modern gentleman reach for his wallet! I did manage to resist the temptation and decided to do some further reading. I found a mountain of evidence justifying this outdated rule, but precious few who were willing to go against the grain. I did stumble upon a fantastic blog by The Shoe Snob – Justin FitzPatrick and his great post no brown in town yeah right. I feel completely vindicated as Justin is clearly an expert. Justin also appears to have a genuine fondness for Edward Green shoes, and if they are good enough for the shoe snob……

There are so many new and interesting combinations available to you when mixing your wardrobe and shoes. It will also make having a shoe rotation a whole lot easier (shoe rotations is a post for another time). At the end of the day, it’s all about having a flexible wardrobe you can get the best out of. Much of your classic wardrobe can be brought to life by brown shoes. I appreciate the more traditional amongst you will shudder at the thought – but as the modern gentlemen evolves with the times, so will the classic style rules.

No brown in town? You must be kidding!

It seems the world is having a hipster outbreak of great proportions. It seems to me that hipsters of the world have more than rage at bankers and politicians in common:

1. Skinny Jeans seems to be the national uniform of hipsters wherever you go. Nothing screams louder that you are a hipster as much as those skinny jeans. Go ahead and tell me how much you paid for them, no I won’t be surprised. Messenger bags that come with a really long story.
2. The whole T-shirt, ribbons, and wrist bands activism is getting old, no one cares about what worthy cause you support now. And do not think of sending me a Facebook invite to join a cause either.
3. Fair trade diamonds. It’s great that you saw that Leonardo DiCaprio movie about diamonds, but do not drive your spouse insane about your unreasonable demands.
4. A subscription to Netflix with at least 4 documentaries in your queue, a Hulu subscription where you catch the latest episode of your all-time favorite show Modern Family/Mad Men since you are too broke to have a cable.
5. Vintage photos and pictures of some old ethnic guy smoking a hookah, a pipe or drinking that south American mate.

Bonus underground music made by people wearing skinny jeans and look like they don’t care.

Thrift Shops, if you build them, they will come.
