Dressing Up in Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Posted on May 10, 2020 by Ethan M. Wong

We may not be able to hang out and dress up with friends in real life, but luckily my friends and I all have a game that allows us to do that on an island paradise.

And to my surprise, the clothing offered was amazing. Even better than my own closet in some cases!

Raggedy Threads and Inspiration LA 2019

Posted on February 11, 2019 by Ethan M. Wong

We never tire of events here in SoCal, especially since we’re so starved when compared to all the other fashion capitals of the world. As February is finally here, it means that it’s time for our favorite (and perhaps only) trade show: Inspiration LA.

We did so much in NYC that I had to give the vintage stores their own post! It’s not really a guide, but we can really recommend that you check these places out if you’re in NYC.

Extremely, outrageously long blog post. Just scroll for pictures.

The Put This On Holiday Market

You know that I complain a lot about the lack of LA menswear events, but luckily Jesse Thorn had us covered. Spencer and I briefly attended the Put This On Holiday Market!

A Few Days in the Bay Area

Posted on September 19, 2016 by Ethan M. Wong

I’ve been meaning to go to SF (and the Bay Area) and shop around for a long time. The last time I went was two years ago when Tim and I stumbled upon Haight Street and its awesome vintage stores. I planned to go for my 21st birthday in July, but circumstances arose that only allowed us to go during this past September Weekend! Spencer, Jeremiah and I (the Spring 2016 Dapper Day crew) were only able to spend two nights/one day in the Area but it was definitely a lot of fun, especially since we were able to dress up and walk around!

Experimentation: Dressing Down

Posted on July 7, 2016 by Ethan M. Wong

Usually I’m in some form of #menswear, whether it is a suit or a blazer. However, there are a few days when I’m actually dressed down. I’ve always been a fan of normcore and certain types of streetwear, and I’m always looking for an opportunity to show it off, even if it is a rare occassion. What do you think?
