We went from the fresh prince being the coolest to carlton banks being a fashion icon. Shty is crazy to me. I can't embrace that style shyt seems forced and corny. Now everybody hates baggy jeans and is half rap half alternative. Someone needs to tell these fools that they look the same.

Carlton Banks is dockers with plaid shirts and sweaters. Jeans are considered foreign to the preppy nerds.

Kanye West dresses like a fa.g. Or a metrosexual.
Dressing preppy and dressing like a metrosexual are two different things IMO.
Unless you got hybrids.

they have a section dedicated to style(street detail) breakdown.
http://www.complex.com/STYLE/Street-Detail
I get complex mag at the crib, so i always read that section and it makes me :mad: .They always diss baggy jeans and urban brands like THEY ARE HIGH AND MIGHTY AND didn't touch roc-a-wear or sean john b4 this high end prada craze. Honestly they are the LRG fanatics from a few yrs ago.

That gentlemen above was a hypebeast, not a hipster. A hipster is a twenty-something, usually white or Asian, with no muscle tone, a sense of general apathy towards everything, a lack of specific tastes(see apathy), a fixation on irony and a healthy drug habit. You will usually find these creatures within slums or former slums, presumably to be close to their dealers.
The difference between this person and a hipster is that a hipster doesn't seem to want to accomplish or even like anything. This Cameron gentleman knows what he wants to accomplish with this look. Honestly, it looks good save for the scarf. But what do I know? I'm not the one wearing Carrie Bradshaw jeans.
Can't stand them hipster cats...but I also can't stand these thugged out nikkaz saggin skinny jeans with xsmedium tops and big cam'ron earrings. How you gonna mean mug a next dude and you wearing womens jeans?
