[Picture via Adicious] Apparently, there are many more ways to be politically incorrect than I thought nowadays. Without even knowing it, I have been committing a cardinal sin it seems, and no one informed me until just a couple weeks ago when I was in Montauk. Apparently, I’ve had my definition of the word “hipster” entirely wrong. Considering I live downtown in NYC, I thought I had the whole scenester thing figured out, but I guess I was way off-based. I was confronted by a group of readers who were not so happy with me over this at Sole East last month who said they didn’t appreciate my liberal use of the word “hipster” in reference to certain places, clothing choices, and things of the like.

We tried our best to fit in at The Ivy at Sole East last Saturday (decked out in a black Steven Alan for Uniqlo romper, I didn’t feel TOO of place), but we still couldn’t hit the hipster nail on the head quite like these kids. Apparently the ultimate hipster equation goes something like this: 1 fedora + a pair of wayfarers + a splash of gray + a “I’m too cool for school but not for The Ivy at Sole East” look = Viola! All four of them seem to have it down pat. Now we know who to call next time we head to that particular daytime party - or the LES.

Pop-up shops seem to be… well, popping up all over the place this summer. But one we’re really excited about is Steven Alan’s beachy casual boutique, located on 52 Newton Lane, in East Hampton. The larger-than-life designer literally does it all (showroom manager, jet-setter, dad) - including opening up a store in three days. No wonder he was struggling to hold on to his voice by the time I got him on the phone yesterday. After meeting him on Sunday, it was a pleasure talking to him again - the guy who has been called a “hipster icon”, and designer I’ve been following since I went in search of the perfect button down, is about as laid-back and cool as his clothing. Here he talks to G of G about the pop-up shop, his Hampton favorites, his Birthday, and just about everything else in between. More »
[Image via Bird] Short shorts are making a comeback for the boys this summer providing an in-between alternative for those you want to take it above the knee without heading into Speedo territory. What do you think guys? How short is too short? If you’re headed to the pool or the beach, these classic Steven Alan swim trunks could be perfect for the casual gentleman on the go as long as you don’t mind showing a little leg. More »
