Urban Street Fashion for Blokes

Urban street fashion is all the rage right now.  I always knew it wasn’t just us ladies that were concerned with fashion: now there are more merchants and online stores catering to men’s fashion than I can count. 

It’s kind of refreshing to know that men care about their looks.  It helps me out when I need to go gift shopping for the men in my life.  Fashion I can handle.  Tools and gadgets?  Not so much.

My younger cousin’s birthday is coming up, so I started doing some research online.  He loves rap music, skateboarding and just about every sport.  I don’t know a bloody thing about rap or skateboarding, but I did come across a few stores that feature skate, hip hop and urban streetwear.  If you’re shopping for the teenage-or-otherwise-young-blokes in your life (or even for yourself as there’s plenty of urban chic fashion out there for us females), you might want to take note and benefit from my research.

Yukka carries popular brands such as Adidas, Southpole, and DC Shoes.  I found some fun hip hop hats and a few sporty shirts that I think baby cousin will like.  What really caught my eye though is that Adidas has their own World Cup collection on sale!  For a football fanatic like my cousin, I’d say that’s a match made in heaven.

My next stop was UrbanRetro, which offers a fresh take on the urban street fashion craze.  Their selection of t-shirts, polos and hoodies are fashionable but also clean and crisp enough that my cousin’s parents might even approve!  And if I decide clothes aren’t the right thing, there’s always a great selection of art prints, gelaskins for his many electronics, and ultra practical wallets.

Lastly I stopped by Wellgosh just because I know he loves their large collection of brand name shoes.  With how active he is and considering he’s still growing a meter a day, shoes are something he’s always in need of.  Wellgosh’s tees and outerwear aren’t too shabby either, with witty phrases and decals teenage boys (and dare I say men?) everywhere can appreciate.  Don’t want to take my word for it?  Check out this video featuring the behind the scenes of Wellgosh’s 2010 collection.

Now, before I make my final decision, there’s the obligatory stop at VoucherGurus to check out the latest Yukka vouchers, UrbanRetro discounts and Wellgosh deals.

And when it comes time for Christmas shopping, I know and you know where to go for all the blokes in our lives!
