So being that I am now an "old-head" on Howard's campus (I really don't belong there anymore but can't seem to get away!) I find myself looking at this new generation of Howard students and I have to shake my head. Yes, I admit I am getting old I realize it more and more when my little cousins ask me about the hot new group of cuties I am clueless to who they are and what that new dance is they're doing in the video.
But I've been taking a good glance at these young Howard men on campus and I notice an ongoing look amongst quite a few of them. Jeans are tight and skinny, yet they still manage to hang low on their butts. Colors are bright. Bright jeans, bright kicks, brights t-shirts, etc.
Is it bad if I hate it? This whole 80's punk nerd swag is not really my cup of tea. I could dig it at first when guys were bringing back the dookie chains, nylon, and bright high-top sneakers but I'm a little over it.
Now if you get past the face (which I can, something about Jay is kind of sexy) he's got it!
T.I. is another great example...he cleans up so nicely!

I'm not saying I miss the days of throwback jerseys, ultra saggy and baggy jeans with the boxers showing, Timberland's and plain white Air Forces, and men doing that I been out on the block all day/night thing.
Anyone that knows me, I mean really knows me knows I had lil thing for thuggish type of guy. But to the delight of my mother and friends I think I've grown out of this phase. I love a man that can tastefully do the urban thing but clean it up and rock a suit or other stylish get up and look nice as well. These are guys that can do just what I'm talking about...

Pharrell Williams...he's got this style I just love!
