I wasn’t always this fashion forward, in fact I didn’t even care about what I wore back in the day. All that mattered was the brand name; Nike and Adidas were the only 2 fashion brands I respected back then and their sportswear brands not even fashion. It’s so embarrassing to admit but my style has most definitely grown since then, I don’t know what has sparked the change. I’ve compiled a collection of my Facebook profile pictures after the cut, some are cringe-worthy. More after the cut.

In the first photo I guess I was rocking the ‘I only care for my studies’ geek chic look, then by the time I was 18, I started to care about my appearance. I thought I knew fashion but I clearly didn’t, this is what ghetto rude boys would claim to be dressing up for a night out is. Eesh. (the 2nd photo is from Gangster/Chav Night)
Then the next year, the year in which I took a gap year. My style never really progressed much. Though I start purchasing a lot of sneakers, usually plain, dark coloured kicks. I didn’t have the confidence to wear bright colours still.
After starting at LCC, my style really changed. Along with everything else in my life, I become more open-minded towards fashion, more confident, reinvented myself in a way I guess. I can say for most part of my first and second years, I could have been classed as the fresh kid/hipster. Hence the tag line of this site: ‘2 fresh kids , 1 blog’. Checked shirts, bright colour-coordinated ish, graphic prints, hi-tops, matching caps – that was what I mainly rocked. I’d like to think I rocked the style before it became played out like it is now.
The start of the second year, (Sept, 09) I started switching my style up a bit – darker colours, plain tees, dark jeans and boots. In fact last year, I’m sure I got called ‘batty’ for wearing them and now look at how every other ‘ghetto’ narrow-minded folk wearing it now. Ya’ll slow.
And now I’m even getting over the sneaker hype, well I’m leaning more towards the more refined kicks like Gourmet as well as shoes, desert boots. In terms of clothing, I aim to wear more tailored cuts – blazers, shirts, cardigans and knitwear. I’ve already started the movement – #grownmanetiquette.
Wait till you see the Blazer looks this season, Brown Bass.
