It's nice when you find a hipster look that isn't so over the top that you feel like you're watching him go out of style in real time. For the dudes, there's a few things to notice here. Check out the hat for starters -- I'm normally not a big fan of hats in men, but I've seen this look with increasing frequency lately, and I think it works.

Also, the jacket -- this can be tricky. Most leather jackets make the wearer look like he's trying way too hard, but the unique color, vintage look and slim fit of this one make it look cool without being too imposing.

Lastly, the western shirt. I know, I took this in Austin, where cowboy chic is a cultural mainstay, but I have a feeling you'll notice a country influence on scenesters and fashionistas wherever you find them.

As a side note, this guy is in a very good band.
