in 2015 you have 3 choices
griff rhys jones circa 2008:
this cross between italian sportswear and millets is an inspiring and strong look, screams of a person who likes practicality and style. colours often limited , greens, browns, and navys but occasionally a dash of red. this is for the person who isn't afraid to get their mille miglia a little beat up as they tour the greatest cities in the world. the key to perfecting this look is to leave people unsure whether you are a fashionable person or a little lost on your way to the trail.
jacket of choice : mille miglia
facial hair: light stubble
skream circa 2001-2005:
for the skream impersonator the authenticity is key, they have a key interest in uk underground dance music but with particular affinity to late garage and early dubstep after deleting james blunt and calvin harris off their ipod just last week. they'll often be seen hanging around central with a set of tracksuit bottoms and a baggy tshirt from the latest and most revered youth forward designers, colours mainly being blue, white, grey and black.
jacket of choice: wind breaker or oversized goretex shell
facial hair: clean shaven
laurence llewelyn-bowen circa 1996-2004:
this rather more ostentatious and bougie of looks is in sharp contradiction to the other two mainstream styles, arguably the most risque and up and coming of the 3. a complete rejection of working class and manual labour endorsed as authentic by people today. here we have big lapels and even bigger collars, unbuttoned floral cuffs made from fabrics which look like they used to be your nans kitchen curtains. colours range from conservative navys and blacks all the way to summery pastels depending on occasion.
jacket of choice: trench or topcoat
facial hair: ornate, well trimmed full goatee
