      I think photo evidence needs to be submitted, although I recall Christian sporting the "Jesus Look" once or twice before.

        Amusing posts, but I think that SZ absolutely has 'a look.' The 'mammal' quote above is the most relevant. Let's not get all high and mighty and say we can't be stereotyped - think to yourself about what you consider 'the superfuture look' and 'the styleforum look' and 'the hypebeast look.' You can do it, I bet. But it doesn't actually capture what people are wearing - there are many important nuances in these other communities. You might say 'the hypebeast look' is 'baseball cap, t-shirt, raw or very expensive washed jeans, sneakers - and you'd be right to a certain extent. But, they'll say "Yeah, but that guys wearing X sneakers and that guys wearing Y, which when matches with z baseball cap means different things." This is the equivalent of "There's no SZ look, that guys wearing black boots X and that guys wearing black boots Y, which matched with z black jacket means different things."

        Then again, I'm wearing Patrik Ervell head-to-ankle. You'll notice I don't post my WAYWT's here, and it's not because I don't think people aren't open minded enough or something like that, just that there are communities where it will be more meaningful.

          Sure, there's a Jungian undercurrent running under each lucid community.

            sz is fucking funny

            I thought the "raw" julius look was the example of the Gareth Pugh fringester
            man classic sz.

                I think that's my point, personally. There isn't a real picture of 'the sz look.' It's a mental construct. I couldn't find you the URL but I can describe the man in my head for you, but I think you know what I'll say.

                    Rember; Being 'classic,' is a good thing. :)

                    Classic - "Judged over a period of time to be of the highest quality and outstanding of its kind."

                    By definition, the representation should be illustrated by photographs throughout the history of the SZ forum; Specially, the 'Hall Of Fame.'

                    SZ = 'Outstanding,' fashion... Stereotyped or not.

                      hmm, I can. and certainly it shouldn't be difficult to think of members that fit #4.

                      but (and this is directed at no one in particular) there's no need to get all serious...I think that qn's post was meant to be humorous, and I, for one at least, thought it was.
