Of Matcha & Marlboro Men

They’re lurking about the East Village and Washington Square with wanton abandon. Stomping the life out of style and lantern flies as they go. The infestation of jorts has made its way across the city for too long. You know the ones: little string for a belt, worn by someone who pretended to read.

A Little Life. While fun and chic in its infancy, this assault on the sartorial sensibilities has spiraled completely out of control. It’s ok to own jorts, just don’t let jorts own you. Or perhaps more importantly, own them unlike anyone else. Make them individual as opposed to played out.

So while you start thinking of back to school or end of summer looks, try to avoid settling into this suburb in a vast city of summer trends.
