The "classic" usage varies from place to place, for exemple business men from some south american countries would say that wearing some form of bracelet (silver, gold) in addition to your watch is very classy.

And since this forum mostly concerns streetwear I'd say jewelry is an integral part of that so I wouldn't reject it like you do. I don't wear any myself, aside from a watch, but with the right clothes/look it can ad caracter.

Extremely pointy shoes were quite hip in 2004 so you might have spotted some fashionistas wearing them but I think the trend has died down now...and please don't try to fit them in some high/low combo, the high/low thing is already tough to pull off as it is, no need to complexify the situation.

As for the everyone is wearing what you're wearing blahblahblah thing that you can stick on anyone's style well yeah nothing is original anymore except maybe wearing foil and setting yourself on fire. I'd say being well dressed is more about how you pull it off than what you're trying to pull off.

not ironic at all, actually...

iwas in the paris john lobb bespoke store and they had a BEAutiful pair of ankkle breaches with brogue finish pointy fuckin beautiful

just cause you cant pull off shit... pointy shoes are ledge and are the slickest footwear you can possibly buy at this present time,.. then again some of you lot are techno heads and black boy lane wanabees... so your style will be differnt (you all dress the same)

but HEYYYYY

The pointy shoe is most definitely an Italian thing and while Lobb could indulge some customers you may have noticed it's definitely not their main style. Personnally I prefer dress shoes with a more "natural" look like a lot of Lobb timeless models ( I like the look of their oxford plaintoe).

Oh...those three categories look like idiots too in pointy shoes. Dress shoes/sneaker hybrids are always hideous if you ask me...

Now I've noticed someone talking about Lobb and pointy shoes in the same sentence and I sure hope it was meant as an ironic comment...

You can find links to reviews of his albums on www.metacritic.com in the "music" section. You'll know what fader, rolling stone, and other mags thought of his material.

I'm assuming you know The Stone Roses and are talking about his solo stuff. You can order the albums on amazon.com and your local one (UK or whatever) probably carries it too. He's already got 4 albums and one remix album (superfuture favorite UNKLE participated on the remixes). Dunno if that was what you were asking. If you meant illegal downloads you're on your own but shouldn't have any problems finding them should you be so inclined...
