Stab Recommends: The Washed Out LA Edition

Why do famous male actors dress so poorly?

It’s something that’s always baffled me. If you’re cruising around LA and you spot Leo, Ben A, Brad Cooper etc. then the first thing that hits you is ‘holy shit it’s…’ and the second is inevitably, ‘what the fuck is he wearing?’ LA’s Hockney and the Chateau Marmont, home to timeless style and the brands that make it happen. Here’s five things from five LA brands guaranteed to make you look like you didn’t get dressed in the dark (like Leo and his cargo shorts).

A Timeless Look (if you can pull it off)

Garrett Leight (the person and the sunglasses) are the epitome of LA cool. These’ll either make you look like a million, or a peso, depending on your disposition. Only one way to find out…

Invest in style (and don’t sit on them)

 

Make Blue Your Boy Blue

It’s no secret that there’s a General Admission x Stab crush, but it’s no chore when they make sweats this perfect. Baby blue has been absent for long enough. 

An instant favourite.

 

Green Tee

Mister Green is a neat LA brand that does all kinds of green things. Their apparel range boasts a couple of vintage-style gems, in particular, this one: The LA Weed tour.

Show your love for the green rush.

The Antidote To Summer

Espadrilles look and sound fancy lying dormant, but slip them on and you tower over your slide and thong-wearing competition. Wear with cropped pants for a timeless summer look. 

A bold, but worthy choice.

It’s Ok To Wear Loud Pants (again)

We’ve worn plain pants for too long. It’s time to embrace the patterned variety, and these Stüssy stripes are just the antidote to a drab lower wardrobe. 

Express y’self.
