A full breakdown of the “City Boy” fashion style

The “city boy” style was first created by the Japan fashion magazine “POPEYE”.

A city boy style is simplistic , not attention seeking , showing others your manners maintaining a suitable distance.

No flowery patterns can be seen, a very clean and sleek outfit

To dress like a city boy , the key is to be youthful and simplistic .

1. Opt for greyish , earth tone colours and avoid using multiple colours / textures in one fit.
2. Go for loose , comfy pieces.
3. Pay attention to details such as accessories and bags.

A simple, all-green outfit.

An amazing fit featuring real military pants. The use of military and hiking elements are quite common in the city boy style.

As you can see here, there is a unity of colour and texture. A full luxury leather bag would be a bit odd, but a simple messenger’s bag works just fine :)
