One look at the Sopopular “Slice of Suburbia” Lookbook for Spring/Summer 2011-2012 and the first thing we have to say is that the styling is absolutely gorgeous. From the model’s hair, to the thin string belts, right down to the complementary footwear, Sopopular did not miss a beat with this shoot. The lookbook redefines our thoughts on color as this tough dude is seen in powdery tones which stray from the dark shades we usually associate with this sort of alternative look. Khaki plays a really big part in the collection, but is so much more than just a pant material—we’re seeing it in outerwear and color block shirts that are accented with asymmetrical zippers which really push us away from what we thought we knew of this fabric. The addition of floral details and contrast fabrics also give us a fresh approach to the usual prep look. As this model shows, the clothes may be clean and dapper, but still are totally casual and ooze coolness. So if your guy is a badass at heart and in fashion, Sopopular has got him covered!
