NYC Style: Crisp, Clean and Uncomplicated. Really, Lucky? Really?

The latest issue of Lucky boasts the Stylish and Sexy Guide - “perfect, subtly seductive looks inspired by four of the chicest cities in the world.” Let’s see how New York is described hmm, shall we?

“This style is crisp and clean, with an alluringly uncomplicated sensuality.”

Ahem, exsqueeze me? Baking powder? I can’t think of less accurate adjectives for NYC style than “crisp,” “clean,” and “uncomplicated.” One of the best things about New York is that you can wear whatever the fuck you want and someone, somewhere, will probably think it rocks. Ours is a city that gives you the freedom to occasionally look like an ass for the sake of fashion. If we were crisp, clean and uncomplicated, we’d be Boston.

Unfortunately, Lucky’s borderline retarded assessment of New York style isn’t the most offensive thing about the two page spread. I own two of the five articles of clothing recommended for achieving the New York look in abundance: White button down shirts and black pants. In the most exciting city in the world, where you have access to the most varied, interesting clothing on the planet, Lucky has whittled NYC style down to the very outfit I’m forced to wear to work. The nose candy they’re snorting over at Conde Nast must be legit if it makes clothing this boring seem even remotely interesting.
