Inspire Me: Complex Magazine: Leaders of the New Cool

I don't know if it's the fact that the quality of the photos are so superb or that the clothes that these guys are rocking are so undeniably my taste OR it could be the fact that these guys are the new generation of coolAzz ultraOriginal artist, either way it goes I am so inspired by the photos taken of these "Leaders of the New Cool"…

Dear Complex Magazine… this is one of the dopest layouts I've seen in a while- the clothes, pictures, fonts, lightning, everything is cool, keep up the good work. -Cindy…. lol.

Oh my, Bobby Ray Simmons… isn't it funny when someone you've known for years is suddenly gracing the covers of magazines? Well, I remember when Bobby and his cousin Stephen used to make beats in my dorm room at Georgia Tech, lol, I still have a few of the beats and songs now. B.O.B has always been mature for his age and he looks the par in his plaid Ralph Lauren sweater. Lets face it, not all high school kids can blend in on college campuses… but B.O.B could then and from the looks of it he certainly can now.

B.OB, 19
GLASSES: MOSCO, SWEATER: POLO RALPH LAUREN, SHIRT: WOOLRICH WOOLEN MILLS , TIE: TOMMY HILFIGER, GLOVES: CONFERENCE OF BIRDS, BAG: BILLY KIRK
JEANS: G-STAR, SHOES: SEBAGO

Now, the rest the guys seem pretty cool as well, I just don't have personal stories about them, so we'll just focus on their clothes from here on out…

Okay, Okay… let's give a round of applause to this sick-o-ning photoshoot. The mix of classic American designers made me smile.

STAND OUT PIECES:
1. The J.Crew jacket that Chuck English rocks is cool.
2. I want to rock the Ralph Lauren sweater Bobby is wearing right now.
3. The purple Rockers NYC pants Charles have on should be worn by those with swagger.
4. I really appreciate Rah's entire ensemble, the tie, fedora, suspenders, pants, shirt. It may confuse some, but thats some haute ish… soooo feelin' it.
5. B.O.B's entire outfit is cool as well, I really like his gloves. I'm going to have to check out more things from Conference of Birds.

Gentleman, please take note of the designers worn to make these creations. You can easily recreate these or similar looks. If you're on a budget check out stores like TJ Maxx, Ross, and Century 21- they'll have the same threads for half the price. Oh, and don't forget about the outlet stores- Tommy and Polo outlet stores are everywhere!

Share and Enjoy:

I’m feeling the spread, but some of these cats are guilty of trying too hard. Hamilton for example. I mean true swag is looking fly while not looking like you took longer than your girl to get dressed.
