Ouch! The Slouch.
Vegas! What to say...always fun, always hectic, always dry and never enough time! My reports for my trip won't be on what's hot in the streetwear scene....go to Mama's blog and M.I.S.S. Crew not that...Yup, I'm reporting on my experiences in and around the tradeshow...the mall, the thrift stores and the Fruition x UNDRCRWN party...so stay posted all this week!
Spent the earlier part of the week hitting up the thrift stores and the mall. You never know what random gems you may find. Like slouch socks. Early last year, while diggin in South Central L.A. I started noticing the young ladies rocking the slouch socks, and rocking it like we did back in the day, at least two pairs stacked. I saw them for sale at the malls down there and when I got back home, they where for sale there too!! Now, I am talking about the spots in the hood, I reside in East Oakland, so the hood stores where stocking these joints...not Nordstroms. I haven't seen them make there way into mainstream fashion or even hipster fashion...But there they were again, in Las Vegas at Champs in the mall...50% off, so perhaps a trend that didn't hit too hard. I always thought they made your legs look a little tree stumpy but we thought we were fresh anyway!
Slouch Socks today...
"Original Goods"...
Can we get a close up of that fancy packaging artwork...
Now to acheive the ultimate look with your slouch socks you needed to be rocking the zipper jeans tucked nicely into your slouch socks...
Now if you didn't have the zipper jeans, that were already so perfectly tappered, you would have to do the deed yourself and "peg" them tight...a simple 4 step procedure...one...
two...
three...
peg...
And of course the finishing touch to this look would require the "china" flats, slip on or maryjane style (preferably with an embroidered rose)...
or a pair of Nike Cortez would work, but that's a different post ;)
And there you have it, your guide to rocking the Slouch Socks today, based on key elements from back in the day!
