This guy's look is your standard hipster fare, but there are two points that are worth noting. One, the hair. Men's hair has to go somewhere now that we've had it all messy and down in our faces for the last couple years. I've seen some guys growing it longer (ala mullet), but I definitely prefer this nod to the faux-hawk instead. Two, those pants! The comeback of black jeans is no surprise, but these are so skinny it's unbelievable. Watch out for more men squeezing into ultra-slim-fit jeans in the months to come.

I recently started rockin' the faux-hawk myself. It's got an odd sort of generational twinge to it; Those under 40 make no mention of it, and those over 40 stare as if my hair stylist used me as a test subject. I think that underscores the "trend in the making" statements above.
A shot..

Ultra skinny jeans though? Really? Did we learn nothing from the 1980's?
