Style Highlight: City Boy - Topic of the day 4/16/24
I highly suggest to look into Akio Hasegawa, the fashion designer who pioneered the style itself: https://sabukaru.online/articles/the-stylist-and-fashion-director-pioneering-japans-city-boy-trend-akio-hasegawa
Some articles and videos for those who are interested on the style (some are not in English).

Hahaha a topic definitely for me! City boy to me was always about casual preppy wear (as simple as that). What I really enjoy about this style is that countries around Japan (which it originated from) have started their own versions of it. Korea being more casual, Taiwan and HK focusing on techwear/outdoor wear. They have quite deviated from what we traditionally knew as "city boy"
It's not just about wearing wide pants alone! City boy has a lot of emphasis on silhouettes more than proportions hence why the oversized looks out there look really good. You don't have to wear oversized everything! Texture and branding also come into play. Consistent or cohesive textiles and the emphasis on vintage American branding.
I think it's a very underrated style with tiktok determining what is fashionable nowadays. It's a breathe of fresh air. I find it unique and quite enjoyable to style so I don't think it'll go away anytime soon.
