calivintage: bro time

the whole time i was in redlands, i made my little brother devin take my outfit photos for the blog, so it only seemed fitting that we reversed roles on my last day there and i snapped a few photos of his outfit. he was proudly wearing two of his prized christmas gifts, a pair of green dr. martens and a nice new cpo jacket. while i was there, we talked a lot about clothes and even spent a day checking out menswear boutiques in la. i don’t know a ton about menswear, so it was interesting to observe. since there really are less options style-wise, there’s a much bigger focus on quality and fit than you typically see in women’s clothing. it stood as a nice reminder to focus on quality and craftsmanship. case in point, he may be wearing some simple basics, but they’re all very solid pieces meant to last a very long time. anyway, these photos were taken in my grandmother’s back yard. my brother is a bit serious, but i still managed to get him to do a “calivintage” jump for me, haha!

  1. Cool photos, your brother is just as stylish as you are. And I can definitely see a resemblance in your facial expressions :)

    I just wanted to let you know that I borrowed one of your pics for a favourites feature over at my blog. Of course I linked back to you ;)
    Come and check it out if you like.
    Happy Friday!

  2. Sometimes I am so jealous of boys and their flatness, the way clothes lie on them. I would dress like this everyday if I were a boy (sometimes I do anyway)!

    1. dude, i know what you mean. i borrowed some of my brothers jeans while i was in redlands and it’s just not fair. they look so cool on him, but alas, i am not a boy and menswear will never look as slick on me. but i’m with you, i still do it anyway!

  3. Your brother is seriously so cool. I haven’t seen dark green docs like that in so long! I think it’s pretty obvious that mad style runs in your family. :)
