Wearing my Heart on my Back

Last week I saw this heart-shaped zip pouch on Tumblr. Last week I pinned that heart-shaped zip pouch on Pinterest. Last week I tweeted that I’m not ashamed to say that I wanted that heart-shaped zip pouch so I can clip it on my backpack. Last week Roots hooked me up with that heart-shaped zip pouch. This week that heart-shaped zip pouch is on my backpack. Some wear their heart on their sleeve, I wear mine on my back.

An Open Letter to Clubs Regarding their Dress Code for Men

It’s 2011, fashion has evolved. Black Aldo dress shoes from the mid-ninties, paired with a wide bootcut jean are not considered fashionable. A man wearing this faux pas combination should not get waved through your line. They should be questioned on their chose of footwear and their cut of denim. They should be asked to step their game up.

This weekend, while out for a friend’s bachelor weekend I visited two different clubs — both of which denied me entry based on my outfit. In each scenario I donned a simple tailored tee, slim light wash jeans, a black leather biker jacket and a pair of limited edition Nike Air Max 1 Omega’s. I only mention the shoes in detail because that was the deal breaker at the door.

“Sorry, no sneakers,” was the phrased they used.

I gave them my ‘REALLY!?! with Seth and Amy’ face and then proceeded to apologize to my friends. What followed was a conversation amongst us about horrible shoes, dad jeans and the general evolution of men’s fashion. That was Sunday. On Monday, Kanye West was spotted at Burberry’s Spring Summer 2012 Womenswear Show sitting next to Sienna Miller, sporting a white tee, slim light washed denim, a black leather biker jacket and a fresh pair of Jordan 1’s.

Now, I know I’m not Mr. West. My biker jacket isn’t Balmain and neither are my jeans, not yet at least. I share the image above not to compare myself to Yeezy but rather to prove the point that men’s fashion has evolved. If you want to be in the business of curating an environment based on attire, I suggest you modernize your approach. Kanye, among others, have cracked your dress code, it’s no longer relevant.

Fashionably yours,
