Our Story
If you really want to read our
story, here it is. One day I was
sitting around and I asked myself
how can I help the male species?
How can I make a difference in
somebody elseís life? Ok, maybe
not that farÖ Through my own personal
experience I found that my friends
and I seemed to have a contentious
relationship with the fashion
world. It was apparent like most
guys I wasnít born with the fashion
gene. Just like every other guy,
getting my sense of fashion, style
(call it what you will) came from
some source that I repeatedly
refer to. Be it, magazine pictorials,
celebrities, or straight from
the people I see everyday. Being
from San Diego I dress like most
of my southern California peers.
Yet, the distressed jeans, the
Von Dutch hats, the embroidered
button-up, and the occasional
vintage t-shirt have all but become
somewhat limited, if not stagnant,
fashion selections. The So-Cal
norm of fashion has become a rut
for myself and most likely others.
I then began to travel outside
this bubble of mine to places
around the country like New York,
Miami, and Seattle Just to notice
that these people dress completely
different than us in So-Cal. I
turned out to be completely wrong
in my assumption that Southern
California was the fashion crux
that all others are to follow.
So I started to take bits and
pieces of what I saw other guys
wearing in N.Y. and Miami and
brought them back to Cali. It
was odd, because for the first
time I knew what I wanted to buy
at the stores. I was actually
going to the stores with a better
grasp of what I was looking for.
Then, like a slap across the face,
it occurred to me to showcase
the trends that most of us (and
you) are never exposed to. We
at wearwhatwhen.com are attempting
to bring the style influences
of various locales to your home
computer. Furthermore, the site
will not only focus on what to
wear but when to wear them. So,
if you are traveling to a new
locale with little to no idea
what other people are rockin,
or if you are simply tired of
the dried-up style in your own
home city, wearwhatwhen.com is
set up to help broaden the fashion
horizon of the everyday guy. I
know for a fact that I canít be
possibly be the only guy out on
what to wear out to clubs, out
to the bars, or just out on the
town. Wearwhatwhen.com is a new
outlet that truly shows the styles
and fashion of the everyday person
across the country. Best of all,
it is free of charge, and most
importantly free of biases. Whatís
hot is hot because you think itís
hot, not because some fashion
critique says so or Justin Timeberlake
is wearing it around his chest.
This is why we are here, just
to show you what people across
the country wear. Pictures on-line
from different cities showing
real people in real outfits in
real time. What people are wearing
now. Plain and simple. Since menís
fashion, style (whatever) doesnít
change dramatically week to week,
we will update the pictures every
three weeks. Wearwhatwhen.com
will write informative articles
with regards to todayís fashion
that will change every three weeks
as well. Eventually wearwhatwhen.com
envisions this site to be a full
service stop on what to wear,
and when. Not just street wear
we are starting out with. Until
then, we hope you like our site,
and if not, f$#@ off. Nah, just
playin.
