Where does this narrative come from that men 35+ have to dress like Fonzwoth Bentley? The most influential men in streetwear culture in recent years were 40+. Virgil Abloh was over 40 before he passed and Off White’s best offerings were streetwear were varsity jackets and sneakers not sweater vests and wingtips. Kanye had the sneaker game in a chokehold but all the old Adidas Yeezy styles from the late 2010’s played out at the moment. But when Ye drops his shoes again, it’s probably going to set the standard in the culture once again because people will rock whatever shoes he drops and that nikka way over 35.
If anything, nikkas 35+ do the streetwear better. nikkas over 35 know more about clothes than just shiesty masks, designer/hyped up sneakers, bubble coats and hoodies. That’s all YN’s know how to wear. YN’s dress so terrible that they don’t even know how to dress seasonally or for the weather for God’s sake. They don’t have a basic sense of style and knowledge of high quality clothes that older nikkas have because we grew up in a different time. They don’t know about leathers, sweaters, pea coats, selvedge denim, high end fabrics like cashmere, linen, butter leathers, shearlings, furs and silks. They usually don’t even know about classic high quality hood shyt like Avirex and Pelle leathers, Coogi sweaters either. All they know is if something is designer and if it has a high retail or resale value. Younger nikkas don’t be putting it on for the most part.
