Whole lotta sock!

A little while back I mentioned the evident resurgence of the 'pin-roll' technique of styling one's slacks. I'm still seeing it and it seems more of a sneakerhead thing; a styling tool to accentuate the aesthetic of those prized vintage Mowabs, or maybe they are the re-pros, who cares, they're sweet, and your proud of them! However, something else seems to have popped up on the radar. Too lazy to bother with the technicalities of perfecting the pin-roll, or failing to source the knowledge of how-to, the sock-tuck has surfaced as a stronger contender as the more readily adoptable hem styling option amongst the yoof. This could be the secondwind of nordic invasions. It seems to have gathered most strength amongst Scandiweigens (and Sunday League goalkeepers)who are deploying it under the guise of city break touristic teen groups. All eyes on Oxford Street for the rise of the sock line!

Keep It 'Real Boy'

No, this is not a manikin modelling the latest gear in the Maharishi showroom. You could be forgiven for thinking so, but in fact this is a real boy. A real boy fully togged in the latest Maharishi gear. Hold on!! Wasn’t Pinocchio a real boy? Hmmm. He was for a little while, before turning back into a living piece of wood. Well, assured you can be, that this guy was a genuine ‘real boy’ and far from turning into wood. In fact, rather informative he was in shedding the low-down on Maharishi’s current range, adding insights to the mix with his subtle client profiling speak. Seen here, sporting his very own self-tapered custom take on Marharishi jeans, styled with the addition of neatly executed ‘pin roll’ turn-ups, this young man sets a trail blazing path for the hotly tipped ‘no socks’ look. Yep, rub those eyes, you’ll see, you read it right the first time, ‘no socks’. It’s been a long time coming, but in a fashion age where cos-play’s rules are anything goes, ‘sockless’ is merely a blip on the radar.
