Stripes Are Easy Wins
If you’re intimidated by patterns then it’s best to start with something reliable and simple. They don’t come simpler than the stripe.
A go-to for clothing and easy to style for a variety of looks,
horizontal stripes are actually slimming and work great on polos,
short-sleeve and long-sleeve tops. Don’t discount the verticals either: a
pin-stripe shirt is stylishly formal whatever the weather while a
seersucker jacket is perfect for a (slightly) more casual summer
wedding.
Every once in a while, an opportunity arises where your wardrobe can work for your wallet as opposed to the other way around. When high-street brands collaborate with more exclusive fashion houses, you can catch upmarket designers at bank manager-friendly prices. And even if it’s a mash-up between two brands beyond your usual budget, that fact that each collection is limited edition means there is every chance that your purchase will appreciate with time. With cost assessment done, these are the best new collaborations out there, each one ready to double-team the crap out of your AW wardrobe (and save you some cash in the process).
Well, that’s one way of celebrating the 75th anniversary of the most evil clown in the history of pop culture… After weeks (and maybe even months) of teasing out the reveal of Jared Leto as the clown prince of crime, The Joker, in his new incarnation in Warner Bros. “Suicide Squad,” we finally got our first official glimpse — and it is pretty much everything we ever dreamed it could be...
The track opens with the Odd Future rapper spitting his usual brand of off-kilter rap, where he admits to having some real feelings about being banned from New Zealand early last year. “I got banned from New Zealand, whitey called me demon/ And a terrorist, God dammit, I couldn’t believe it,’ he raps.
Next up, is ‘Ye, who sounds more confident than ever on this verse.
He brags about his recent lecture at Oxford University, namedrops Marshawn Lynch, and is just generally feeling himself, rapping, “Richer than white people with black kids/ Scarier than black people with ideas/ Nobody can tell me where I’m headin’, but I feel like Michael Jordan, Scottie Pippen at my wedding.”
Things get even more interesting later, when Tyler and Weezy begin to trade verses, and the New Orleans rapper is throwing out lines like, “My trigger finger wise but my nine dumb/ Middle finger blind so its f–k A-N-Y one/ F–k, skate and die son, a hundred ways to die son.”
Tyler’s full album Cherry Bomb is out now.
