As somewhat of an expert in this area, I respectfully disagree with both of the above comments.

Unless you want to go to a bridge and tunnel-esque lounge in Midtown somewhere or a club that DOESN'T ALLOW SNEAKERS, then you certainly don't have to wear the uniform of "button down, unflattering jeans and black kenneth coles." However, I wouldn't go as far as to say "People don't care what you're wearing as long as they know they'll get their money" They will get their money regardless, and the thing that will continue to allow them to get money is the quality of their clientele.

First and foremost, how much thought or style you put into your club clothes depends on the quality and style of the girls you are with. NY clubs, at least any ones of the upper echelon, which include: Marquee, Double 7, Stereo, Bungalow 8, Cain, Pink Elephant, among others. If you are with hot girls, it really doesnt matter how your dressed. If you are flying solo or with a couple of other guys, you will definately have to put s'more effort into your look. Remember that most of the doormen who are in charge of letting people in, are either 1) Gay or 2) Metrosexual. Often times they receive free clothes from top notch designers to maintain a proper look. In turn, any of these doormen whomever it may be, Armin, Aramis, Wass, Erickson, etc., will immediately know if you are club worthy or not even before you get to the entrance. They will spot you from three blocks away if you are wearing a striped button down and Mavi Jeans, and at that point you are dead in the water.

Where is this all going? I would apply the rule Dan Harringon applies to his No Limit Holdem, and that is: K.I.S.S. or Keep it Simple Stupid.

I would say that 75% of outfits seen in WDYWT, would be ok. I would remain on the safe side and not go too casual, esp. if you don't know anyone at these clubs, so you might stay away from looking hypebeast, skater or whatever. I would also say, the Cobra Snake look is a little too, em, 'mismatched' even for NY taste.

but fitted denim jeans, some designer sneaks by swear or just plain ol' Cons/Vans, fitted T-shirt, and then to top it off something unique that will say "I have arrived" never hurts. Once you become a regular a place or get to know the bouncers, you can increasingly wear whatever the eff you want. It's kind of a fun game, for instance, I would be wearing shorts and walk into Bungalow 8 with a plastic bag with a tuna sandwich inside, sit next to a group decked out in tuxedos and it was all good. Just gotta know your situations, places, which night your going out, etc...

Also, if you're going anywhere in the L.E.S., youre pretty safe wearing whateva the F you want.

Cheers.

sean_ thanks mate, im really digging the Hosoi Sk8 hi, but why all of a sudden is it next to impossible to get Vans. I got mine at huf the day they got them in so I got lucky. Can't get them online b/c the NTers are all over em.

jpgm i believe they are just the ruger straight in the dark raw denim, still breaking them in. They are not rigid like other raw denim, which I kind of like. Got them at the G-Star store in Union Sq. But I've seen them in other shops like Rolo. I believe they were US $170. 185 incl. tax.

cheapmutha Which Burlington Coat Factory? I live right behind the one in SF, but never could be bothered to go inside, although I do see that they sell frye boots. nice pick up for 15 bucks.

Purchases made in the last two weeks:

Rick Owens, Hosoi Vans, Syndicate Chukkas, gstar, levis, adidas...

So I stumbled into Wasteland on Haight on Saturday, as it was the first sunny day in SF in about a month. Cut to the next scene: on the very first mannequin/display, I see a brown leather bomberish-jacket. Tag reads: Vintage Rick Owens, [description], price $85. My heart nearly skipped a beat, and my girlfriend completely freaked out. Could it be possible? I pretty much ripped the jacket off the manny faster than I've ever taken the bra off a girl and on the inside was stitched "Rick Owens"... I could not believe it, I knew it couldnt be really vintage since he has been designing his own label no more than 3 or 4 years (right?), so obviously I bought it immediately. While signing my CC slip, my girlfriend says to the cashier, "you know, this is like a two thousand dollar jacket"... She was completely shocked, and checked the tag to see who priced it (as I'm sure she would have bought it and sold it on ebay) but nonetheless, the jacket is now mine! Will try to post pics in next day or two. Still feeling a bit high.

I definately would rock the purcells, not as many people have them, they are a little more grown up but still very casual (and comfortable)... The white slip-on purcells are pretty sweet with a nice pair of trousers. (could never find the coveted Calvin Klein slip-on boat shoes). However, above all, I still prefer Vans to both.

myspace is pretty much the biggest waste of time but great for music and meeting up with old friends.

My vote is def. for either Mandalay or Venetian. Cannot go wrong.

Hard Rock is ok, but off the strip.

Wynn is terrible. And so is the Palms.

Thomas, I like your boots. Does Vivienne Westwood make men's boots or are they womens? Either way, they look good.

Does anyone know where to find a decent selection of boots in SF? Ive been having a difficult time. thanks.
