A Guide for the Urban Hip-spanic
PRESENTED BY JOHNNIE WALKER
Urban styles come in all sorts, and some make a stronger
statement than others. Find out which of our favorite looks suits
you best.
The Bling Baller
 The
Profile: A bold, walking testament of upward mobility, you wear
your success like accessories––literally––and
a gold and diamonds dollar-sign charm hangs where that crucifix
you got from abuela used to be.
The Clothes: Baggy Akademiks jeans, oversized King T-shirt, Nixon
baseball cap, Ecko Unltd hoody, LRG jacket, Phat Farm sneakers and
as much bling as you can wrap around your neck without choking to
death.
The Scent: Unforgivable by Sean John
The Case Study: Daddy Yankee
The Preppy Hipster
 The
Profile: Calculated disarray punctuates your look, but you’re
more aware of it than your mad-professor looks reveals. Those elbow
patches are not from wear-and-tear and that vest is not for the
cold.
The Clothes: They’re more likely from Agnes B or the same
Paul Smith store, where you got the vintage-looking furniture for
your Spanish Harlem refurbished loft. And those D&G frames,
and John Varvatos shoes didn’t come from a local flea market
either.
The Scent: Comme des Garçons by Comme des Garçons
The Case Study: Gael García Bernal
The Nuevo Punk
 The
Profile: You might not have been born at the time of that Ramones
concert tour featured on your T-shirt, but that hasn’t stopped
you from sporting it proudly. You drink imported beer for fear of
being spotted with a mojito. And while you have a Sex Pistols quote
for every occasion, you’re still clueless enough to think
the Norteño Circuit is a race across the U.S.-Mexico Border.
The Clothes: Black, skinny Acne jeans, Salvage zipper hoody, J.
Lindberg leather jacket, Ed Hardy sneakers, and of course, punk-rock
band vintage T-shirt.
The Scent: FCUK by French Connection UK.
The Case Study: Beto Cuevas, former frontman of La Ley
The Fast-Tracker
 The
Profile: You dress for success, no matter the occasion. Be it the
family’s asado or a walk down the red carpet.
The Clothes: Impeccable Armani suit, matching shoes and belt from
Ferragamo, Windsor knotted Hermes tie, Thomas Pink shirt, David
Yurman cuff links and a Prada briefcase round up your weekday attire.
On the weekend you opt for Polo Ralph Lauren chinos, Lacoste polo
shirts, Façonnable quilted micro-fiber parkas and Ted Baker
loafers.
The Scent: Tabarome Flacon by Creed.
The Case Studies: Benjamin Bratt and Andy Garcia
