Fo’ Shawl
Its nearly Christmas and party season is definitely upon us. Bringing you more news on current trends, here is one that has really stuck out this A/W 09; the shawl collar. Adding a interesting touch to your bog-standard peacoat. Here is the current offering from Obey, The Boddington Jacket. Its quilted lining is gauranteed to keep you warm, even in Norway.
In a typical Stylenerds flash of internet shopping brilliance here is one in mark downs on Topman and a longer navy trench style one by Mjolk. They delivery to most of Europe and all of the USA.
Check these cropped navy 10 Deep bad boys below that have just come into Leaders, Chicago.
If you’re not going to Diddy’s White Party…
Okay its officially still summer so here are the Ray Ban “Clubmaster”. Old news I hear you say? These remastered sunglasses, originally introduced by Ray-Ban in 1986, were relaunched in December 2008. Not a lot of sunshine around at that time for some of us, so we have held off until now to get this up here.
Here you can see actors Ed Westwick and Joshua Jackson wearing them casually and slightly more dressed up respectively.
However after us ‘Nerds had resigned ourselves to these two variants of how to wear them, one of a us spotted a guy rocking them with a white tee/Air Jordans. The look was solid my friends.
They are going for very reasonable prices at sunglasses-shop.co.uk, so don’t be afraid to try something new this summer.

See Into the Future?
This time last year there was some discussion about these bad boys. They first came on the ‘Nerd’s radar funnily via the N*E*R*D “Everyone Nose (Remix)” video on your boy Pharrell. Oh how we chuckled to ourselves, then something was brought up. Go back and peep the video for N*E*R*D “She Wants To Move” March 2004 and there he is again sporting some white framed wayfarers. Almost a year before the likes of Ms Moss even thought about such things.
Last year they could be had for £275.00 at Oki-Ni and were released on the 30th September. We suppose only time will tell if people will take to the Gordi La Forge/Urban Music Visionary look.
Summer (sh)jackets
Okay so a bit biased as one of us is wearing this while posting, but hey it fits like a glove and looks great with only the top one/two buttons done up. Its nice and light weight for S/S and although unfortunately not flannel, you can still pretend you’re Easy-E (pre AIDS). Heres what the Topman blog had to say about it:
“If you’re not familiar with this garment type yet, then get to know it quickly as its set to be big in A/W 09. With the formal styling of a shirt shaped straighter and often fabricated like a jacket, this truly is a diverse wardrobe piece. Wear it open with a tee underneath or buttoned to the top with a pair of skinny jeans, however you rock the Shacket it’s a great update for A/W 09.”

Roll Up, Roll Up
We may be getting ahead of ourselves but my Spider/Trend sense is tingling for this Spring/Summer season.
Here is one which has been on the streets of Shoreditch for a while but has now hit the highstreet. Its the roll up trouser/ankle swinger look and these featured stone cotton slim fits can be found on topman.com.
Jeepney Are Pushers
Glorification of drug use is not big or clever. However this t-shirt is like the cotton embodiment of how many a gent has felt at 11:32 on a Saturday night. It can be found on a 21% mark down from the Karmaloop website for $22.00.
Kr3w TK by TM… sort of.
Kr3w-TK
Here is a jacket that offers something new on the whole Letterman traditional design. Its by Kr3w TK and can be found at RouteOne for £89.99. However if you like the design and don’t care who Kr3w TK be, Topman.com do one for £60.00.
