We’re all over this Japanese interpretation of the workshirt & suspenders trend from Harajuku Japan, featuring a medium-blue saturated denim top with unique snap-collar and zipper detail. High contrast comes in droves with this styling dude’s navy & white striped top and thick black glasses. His jeans are cropped by hiked-up white socks, paired with leather moccasin shoes. While the socks are something that might not quite catch on, we’re all about this look from the ankles up.

Japanese menswear label Glamb never ceases to completely blow us away with it’s always eclectic and laid back style. Think vintage nomad with a rebellious street edge true to the scene that is Japanese street style. Consisting of unique pieces that could very well have been taken straight out of a vintage shop the label’s Summer 2011 lookbook has everything from worn-in patchwork jeans to psychedelic geometric graphic t-shirts designed to emulate a tie-dye effect (totally 90s), and even a denim kimono! Overall, everything you need for a killer summer look with some serious street style cred. Bold? Yes. Awesome? Definitely!
