Signature style: Show off your look!
You know who you are -- you're a fashion maverick. You're the preppie boy who ramps up his look by wearing his argyle vest and oxford-cloth shirt with army boots and aviator shades. You're the man in the business meeting who pairs his vintage pinstripe suit with a rock-star haircut and makes all the schlubs sitting around the table seem Brooks Brothers-boring in comparison. You're the mystery stud who stands in a shadowy corner of the bar in battered Levis, a Hanes wife-beater and a kick-ass Dolce & Gabbana studded belt.
You might see yourself as one of these figures, or you might see yourself as all of them, depending on your mood. Come to think of it, you might not relate to any of them -- you're a fashion maverick after all, who defies classification and commands your own signature style.
Well, we want to see you in all your sartorial glory. We want to see what makes heads turn and what makes people on the street say, "Wow! I wish I had style like that."
