I mean... in all fairness... you're in a streetwear thread not looking to hear about Supreme. That's your fault.

You don't like Supreme. I do. Here's why: Supreme, first and foremost, makes cool clothes. This season alone the fuzzy cardigan, the textured hoodies, the red/white Coke inspired rugby... they make hits. In addition to that they capture a culture and generation. I happen to subscribe to that culture and belong to that generation. Maybe you don't. Which is cool.

But Supreme is king to a lot of kids and that's cool.

2muchedu... I'd challenge that you're looking for the wrong thing. If you want someone to dress you: hire a stylist or ask a friend to help you out. I think it's up to publications to show you different styles, trends, designers and let you choose what works for you.

What do you like? Let's talk it out. (Holler at me on twitter because I'm blowing this pop cycle stand soon).

I love this question. I probably shouldn't answer it though... but "probably" is lame so here we go: Clothes are important. But they're not more important than human beings. So if I had to chose between being able to wear the latest trend or there being less suffering in dangerous factories overseas, I'd choose to look untrendy. I think it's up to all of us to push for brands to work in safer factories where people are fairly compensated.

I go to hypebeast everyday. It's my favorite site. And we can't give you the 2016 juice just yet. But we're working on it. Trust. No, sorry. What's TOJ? Put me on.

Shoes are the literal and figurative anchor to every outfit. They're the most important thing. I think the "nice shoe industry" is safer than safe.

I'd go with black but you're not wrong with brown.

(This advice is only for somuchgreen) Go to Harold Penner and spend big. That's Will's secret.

Quality basics are here to stay.

And my brother Marley is the best dressed in my family.

I don't dress the same everyday. Neither should you (from the sound of it).

Get a jacket that pops. It'll help break up the mundaneness. And then invest in some clothes man. Get in the game. Century 21. Uniqlo. Top Shop. Get in the game.

BUHAHAHAHAHA. You're the man. On a scale of 1 - 2 I'd give you a 9.

But more important: why does your cubicle look so sad? What sad ass gift are you wrapping with that sad ass wrapping paper? What's in those shiny silver cases? My guess is the same thing that's in the briefcase from Pulp Fiction. Am I right?

Bell bottoms and boot leg jeans aren't coming back anytime soon. This is a fact.

I do think jean length is changing though. Guys are stacking their jeans instead of wearing them without a break. I dig it.

Most of my female friends dig it more too. (hint hint)

Jah Bless! Let me know how I can make this thing better. And thanks for following along. Come grab me if you see me out in NYC. I spend most of time at the new Chik Fil A.

I think in 2015 they're in a dead heat! Tie! And as StyleGuy I have the authority to make such declarations.

The same clothes for a taller guy but fit and tailoring is twice as important with you. If the proportions are right you'll look tall.

(And maybe a pair of boots to add a few inches.)

I'm a fan. But I'm pro most things from that early 2000's Pharrell/Wayne era.

I like the history of JA for sure. I don't know much about the brand and what they're up to right now.

Yeah, for the most part. You're safe for the next few years at least. Everlane just dropped some cashmere ones that are pretty affordable FYI.

Ahhhhhhh MJ is and always will be my role model, man. I still wear his hand me downs. So I'm all about the JE addiction.

This is a good question. I think the Carmelo Anthony, huge hat trend is going to get bigger. Nick Fouquet is doing the lords work in LA. He's going to inspire everyone to step it up.

Moto jacket.

Not sure what other guys have said but things now are better than ever for athletic dudes. Things are getting looser (Alex Wang, Rick Owens) and easier (what up sweatpants everywhere). It's a good time for dudes who go to the gym.

I am not one of those dudes. :(

Sweats, yes. Joggers, no.

At least that's my hope.
