Male gear sported on the urban sidewalk runway


Wine botas: Now that drinking out of a disposable plastic water bottle is akin to smoking a cigarette in front of a baby and SIGG water bottles have become a staple of the Park Slope mom set, what's a hipster guy looking to get hydrated to do? Apparently buy a Spanish wine bota, fill it with cool water, and sling it over his shoulder to wear while sauntering around the city or trekking up a mountain. We hear that guys are not only using botas for water, but are discreetly filling them up with red wine or whiskey and taking them to the beach for a little fun in the sun. However they're using them, the rustic adventurer look is a good one.

Male Brooches: Young women have been poaching brooches from their grandmothers for years, but lately we've also been seeing stylish men decorating their chests with bronze and silver. Artsy trendsetter types are not only digging through garage sale bins to find the perfect pin, but they are even taking the time to hot glue gun plastic thrift store trinkets to pins. Those who prefer a less flashy take on the look are creating fabric patches that are then safety pinned on to a shirt in a post-punk manner. Guys we talked to are saying that this is an easy, cheap way to spruce up their existing clothing without spending too much money.
