One of my favourite GQ spring articles: December 2010 - Spring Preview

I’m not at the beach right now, but if I wasn’t sick and hadn’t chosen to go to a school that doesn’t have a beach in the surrounding area I’d be wearing these items.
1) I’ve mentioned this tank before, I simple just love it.
Youth and Freedom Tank by CXXVI Clothing $18USD
2) This I’ve mentioned before too (I promise last copy - I need a break… I’m sick). I’d wear it when the sun was starting to head down.
Striped Pullover by H&M $29CAD
3) I like to stand out it some of you haven’t figured that out yet. Instead of wearing the usually skulls or Bob Marley pot boardshorts, wear these. It’s only $15-$20 more expensive than most of the ugly Hurley, Tilly… boardshorts.
Ennis Boardshort by Saturday Surf NYC $75USD
4) Now these are not the exact pair that I owe, but I do own a pair of Quicksilver sandals for roughly 6 years now. They have lasted 2 continents, 7 countries and countless stories - I honestly don’t know how they are still intact.
Ohau Sandals by Quicksilver $20USD
5) I couldn’t really care if this bracelet is made out of hemp or not… a lot of people get caught up in that and it’s pointless. Here is a bracelet that has some beach-wibes to it and is only $6…. that’s what I see.
Interlocking Bracelet by Sunny Beach Jewelry $6USD
6) Folding Wayfarer sunglasses $150USD
This is a cool flip on a classic pair of sunglasses. Going in for a swim, fold them up and tuck them away easily.
From the Sale section at J. Crew

This look from 7 For All Mankind is $375USD. Instead of spending that much money on a look you’ll most likely be wearing around the house or downtown on a cloudy day, save yourself $255!!
Go to Urban Outfitters and grab…
BDG Speckled Zip-Up Sweatshirt - $44USD
BDG PE V-Neck Tee - $18USD (or 2 for $28)
Levi’s 511 Rinsed Jean - $58USD
This is a more pricey purchase, but hear me out. These jeans (Rogan Standard Alpha Slim Fit) are half off; regular $164.29CAD and are on sale for $82.56.
Wear this pair of jeans for the real deal - don’t go hiking or walk the dog wearing these. Keep it in the closet and wear them when you are trying to impress your girl on your next date. Pair it with a button-down and a blazer.
Not enough men do this, but you should try rolling up your jeans and khakis for a change. It looks sharp.
Somethings you do have to keep in mind are;
1) Make sure they are not loose fitting pants.
2) 1 or 2 rolls should do the trick.
3) It looks better without socks.
4) If you are feeling ‘iffy’ about it, the last thing you need to eliminate any doubt is confidence. Stylish moves like this always need confidence.
I like this outfit, it’s casual and simple. Get it at Urban Outfitters for
Charles & 1/2 Speckled Baseball Jacket - $59
Hawkings McGill Laither Sleeved Gingham Shirt - $49 (Sale)
Levi’s 511 5-Pocket Commuter Jeans - $78
Vans Rata Vulc Sneaker - $53
I love camping and Banana Republic. The two have met with these Cotton Cargo Pants. Comfy enough to sit around the campfire and rugged enough to take a beating on the trails.
