How To Wear Your Favorite Music Merch After The Hype Dies Down
If you’re a fashion-minded man living life in 2017, there’s a chance you own a couple of T-shirts that could qualify as “merch”. Whether’s a rare vintage rock T-shirt, some modern-day tour merch, or a designer T-shirt that just looks like it belongs in a stadium, it takes a strong man to resist the temptation to spend too much money on a flashy basic. The day after you copped one of these coveted shirts you probably wore it like a flag, letting it flap in the wind unobscured for all to admire. A few days, weeks, months, or even years later? Chances are, the high has worn off and that move feels ill-advised, not to mention, uh, cold. This layered up look here is your best for giving music merch a second life. The first and most important thing to do here is to swap out jeans for a pair of pants that have as much strength and personality as your T-shirt, if not more. The goal is to turn the T-shirt into the side dish instead of the main course. A pair of wool joggers is a good choice, but cords, track pants, or drill pants would work too. After that, you need a stylish fall jacket that’ll partially obscure your meh merch while also doing the job of keeping you warm. A biker jacket or denim jacket are always cool and will go with any pair of pants you have on. If it’s truly cold outside you could layer two lighter coats together or reach for a topcoat in a strong color or pattern instead. Wrap things up with a pair of simple white tennis sneakers, which will ground the look and add sophistication. This is not the time for Harry Styles-level Chelsea boots or must-cop Yeezys. You want a sensible and stylish shoe that proves that you don’t make all of your fashion decisions based on what all the cool kids are doing. See more at GQ.
