A guy’s style should not be a complex thing. Seeing a dude on the street and knowing he took longer than me to get ready is just pathetic (I only take like 10 minutes).
A guy’s style should not be a complex thing. Seeing a dude on the street and knowing he took longer than me to get ready is just pathetic (I only take like 10 minutes). Simple shoes are the key so boots, Vans and Converse are your best bet. Black and blue jeans that are not in any way shape or form distressed are ideal and as long as you’re not in an Ed Hardy tee or something equally as disgusting (read: Affliction, A&F, etc etc etc) you’re set. My old man looks like a mix of Lemmy and Brando straight out of The Wild One and I couldn’t be happier about it.
Hunter Thompson had the right idea but chucks and blazers can only be pulled off by a few other people. Gonzo on fashion “I try not to have my costume be a problem for me or other people. I’ve always bought, been treated to or stolen the highest-quality clothing I can. Shit, it saves a lot of money not having to go out and buy new shirts every year.”
Most of the guys on all the street style blogs (and occasionally the Boners section) look too fucking ridiculous for words but honorable mentions go to the two above, a couple of killers I know just pick the clothes up off the floor and are out the door looking effortless and amazing.

if the name of your next post is not “in this post i show my tits” then i will not be clicking on your next post
agree on all points except your last, which i believe is your womanly naivete speaking, and not your critical noggin.
the guy with the hat and a baseball bat may have an “effortless” way of wearing the clothes (because he has the whole “dirt bag” thing going on), but no way is that look effortless. you know he didn’t just buy those sunglasses at some roadside gas station, the t-shirt is not from a thrift store, and the vest and accoutrements didn’t just happen on their own. that is to say nothing of his hat, which could have been found at a vintage store or stolen from a friend’s apartment, but still has something to prove. the point is, his look didn’t just happen that way. maybe it took him two seconds that morning, but that guy is definitely trying.
in other words, saying that he looks like he follows all your rules of men’s fashion is like a guy saying a beach babe must be super intelligent because she’s got great jugs.
@a guy…
I’ve known Dash for years and I’m afraid you’re wrong. He is beyond effortless. He’s the laziest person in the world. He doesn’t even have a phone. You have to go to his house and yell at his window. His bed (a filthy mattress on the floor) is surrounded with Gatorade bottles full of piss because he can’t be bothered going to the bathroom. He may be rich but I don’t think he’s ever bought anything but coke in his life.
Chucks have been chicks kicks for at least 12 years now.
Unless you’re a black gang$ta rapper or a Mexican gangbanger, obv.
I’ve always been confounded by the love of Chucks from people who need to be at least somewhat athletic (Gang types.) They provide so little support for your feet. You know, as far as foot health, they’re about as bad as high heels, but not nearly as sexy…so ladies…cut it with the chucks and just put on something strappy and give me a call, kay babe?
I’m a fat, short, balding fire crotch who dresses like a golf caddy from Nantucket. But I carry a fat knot of $100s. Bitches don’t care what you look like when they see it. Practically fall down from the wetness running down their legs into their shoes. Green stacks, that’s all it takes to look good. A girl who likes you for your money is way better in bed, she’s got something to work for. Plus she’ll cook your eggs the next day with out even asking. “Money’s on the dresser chocolate”.
I’d criticize you for suggesting that men adopt the “effortless” fashions shown above, but I have a feeling there is a more gratifying way to battle your ignorance, babe. How about you skip that faggot’s motor bicycle and we’ll bomb around Jersey in my beemer? Hit me up.
@zeb
Chucks don’t provide enough support? What, are you pushing 70 with a bad case of fallen arches? How fashionable they are might be debatable, but they’re so lightweight and hug your feet so well that there’s really no denying that if you’ve got a lot of running/climbing/sneaking/kicking in your near future, they’re a pretty ideal footwear choice (especially in hot weather).
I was right with you until I saw the picture of the hipster Kid Rock. I’m glad someone was so clever to point out just how wrong you were on that one. Just goes to show that even the girls who think they know what they’re talking about, do not.
And if Dash is the homo in the hat, then I’m sure despite all the piss bottles, his look is a calculated one. If it looks like they fit a genre, then they try.
@Cap’n Glitterfuzz.
You know, you’re right. Picking up chick in your over-priced “beemer” bought Mommy and Daddy bought you is sooo much more manly and exy than rebuilding and customizing a beautiful piece of machinery such as the one pictured above.
Have fun in Jersey douchebag.
Starlight, what do u get picked up in?
so i am from texas.. and dash’s grandma runs the art world in houston( she’s pretty powerful worldwide in art as well).. she has houston police department as her security at her house..
so no matter how “effortless” and ” i dont give a shit ” he tries to appear he is still a rich kid who does what ever the fuck he wants because he knows there is family money to bail him out… i also dislike how he fronts that he doesnt receive family $$ or that people aren’t on his dick cause his grandma owns the menil
if he didnt buy his effortless clothing at barneys or some shop another one of his rich friends own then some rich skank thats up on his nuts got it for him or he stole it from a friend.. cause money doesnt buy morals or class… i’ve hung out with him and his crew of cokeheads before and its really a bunch of kids ( and i use that term loosely cause they are about 25-30 yrs old) and they just hang out , hook each other up and act like they are rebelling against something.. oh no i hate the world b/c my parents have money.. oh no i’m such an artist… i’m so tormented
@ Starlight,

Yeah, that Dash Snow knows exactly what he’s doing. Even if he’s lazy he keeps it up only because he knows and likes his friends spreading the myth, the legend. His work is weak.
hating implies jealousy. not something most people have towards bridge and tunnel meatheads, only disgust and maybe pity.
Maybe you should hang out at trailer parks because evidently that’s all you can muster to get a wide on for.
Girls know about as much about dressing men as they do auto body repair. Go back to the kitchen.
i love how the comments on this page, as you scroll down, go from men’s fashion to hating on dash snow and the shittyness of his art.
rather than hate on dash snow, why not hate on the bullshit that has made him famous, i.e., shitty hipster galleries, artist-fucking curators, and old people that follow what appears to be trendy? and websites like this? and vice magazine?
don’t forget that old people (ie, the people that absorb the dash snows of the world into the institution by buying their work, therefore giving it the appearance of “relevance”) can be marketed to as well . . . in this case, somehow the world of new york art collectors was convinced that the shit in vice magazine, and the bafflingly irrelevant skater/graffiti/bullshit whatever scene, was actually of some cultural relevance. it wasn’t, except to other marketing companies.
blame ryan mcginley and the whitney? but do help put the message out there that a lot of people have had the wool pulled over their eyes by “street” art.
I don’t know anything about this dude except I’ve heard his name. Regardless, when did being rich become the worst thing ever? Come Mierda, any money you don’t want I’ll take it.
Son, you’d be talking like me if you were packing like me.
axl rose + allman bros = nisch-nisch
“Post-modernism” and networking have merged and the consequence is an ambiguous blob that stirs up more angst amongst “the community” than an eight grade classroom erection. When you’re a wealthy socialite boasting a very mediocre portfolio, you may find yourself bypassing years of groundwork. So good for Gash! Unfortunately these fools have a nasty habit of weeding themselves out. Strange…
what is it about women that they always think they know what is right for men?
i can guarantee you that the thing that attracted most women to their boyfriends was NOT their style, that eventually they tried to dress him somehow, and it wasn’t until then that the boyfriend’s look became vaguely tolerable to her (whereas it worked fine before she came along, if getting laid is the measure of good fashion).
the thing about chicks and clothes is this: when boys and girls are kids, they think it’s fun to dress up. boys want to dress as superheroes or cowboys or ninjas or whatever. girls want to dress as princesses and raggedy ann and who knows what else. however, soon enough boys grow out of it, eventually becoming more interested in sports and/or getting laid, and girls are carried through their teens with it, groomed to be the perfect storm of consumerism by magazines, moms, and what have you.
i’ve been shopping with many women, and although some of them shop more artfully than others, one thing they all have in common is they want “things” the same way little kids want toys and other “things” and always want want want. really, many women are a lot like little kids. they love being picked up and swung around, and giggle with joy at it. they love to have lots of things, and want to find a provider who will be able to give them those things. their sexual attraction tends to be rooted in daddy stuff. it’s part of what makes them women, and part of what makes them beautiful. but it can also make them very ugly.
I agree with Jen. Those guys didn’t meticulously plan their looks at all, especially the Kid Rock guy. Those tattoos happened when he fell on a tattoo gun. It was a mystical happening, a miraculous reward/sign from god for his years of shunning earthly materialism and silly egoism. He didn’t make a reservation at his friend’s tattoo parlor and spend exorbitant amounts of money on body art for the sake of fashion. Hell no. It’s all organic, baby.
yum!
I didn’t write that entry above. I also didn’t know anything about Dash Snow at all until I read this stream of comments.
I googled him and read some article where he talked about creating a “Hamster Nest” by completely destroying a fancy comped hotel room, and doing enough drugs to actually feel like a hamster. Groundbreaking, mind-bending and above all… terribly profound . If he had ever worked a day in his life, didn’t have the safety net of his family money (whether actively using it or not), or had any empathy for anyone else at all, he would know how terribly lame that sort of thing really is. Especially in your late twenties.
He’s a rebel of some sort. And it’s sooooo boring.
@ men who take fashion advice from women or whatever
Im calling chris hansen!
look at that effortless baseball bat with nails…
@ ur doing it rong:
being rich isnt bad.. and i’ll keep all my money thanks …but acting like ur some street kid who was in juvie at 13 and that u hate your parents .. when u are actually cool with your family ..and u get money..and these people that are on ur nuts are your grandmothers art friends and trendy gays..and when your brother used to fuck with an olsen twin is fake as fuck…
his family is in on this shit and so are his friends.. they like to keep him a mystery and shit
i’m saying dude needs to get over himself and quit acting like a spoiled brat.. he’s was born rich and he cant accept it..
…and yeah he doesnt have talent…
WELL I SAY THREE CHEERS TO “STREET BONERS” FOR SENDING A BIG SHOUT OUT TO DASH SNOW. I USED TO DRESS LIKE HIM UNTIL I TURNED 30 AND THREW AWAY ALL MY “HIPSTER THREADS” LOL AND I ALSO THINK HE HAS A GREAT WORK ETHIC. IN FACT I THINK A LOT OF THE “WELFARE QUEENS” WHO CAUSED THE FANNY MAY PROBLEM COULD LEARN A VERY SERIOSU LESSON FROM LEARNIG ABOUT THE PRODDESTENT WORK EITHC OF PEOPLE LIKE DASH SNOW AND LESLEY ARFIN WHO ARE WORKING HARD AND PROVING THAT THE CREME RISES TO THE TOP JUST FROM HARD WORKING AND YOU REALLY CAN SEE THAT THE CPAITALIST SYSTEM IS WORKING. SOME TIMES I JUST WISH I COULD BE SO SUCCESSFULL BUT HEY IM JUST A NORMAL GUY AND SOMETIMES I JUST DONT’ WANT TO WORK SO HARD AS THEY DO.
Hey buddy, who told you that Asperger’s syndrome was normal?
“He’s the laziest person in the world. He doesn’t even have a phone. You have to go to his house and yell at his window. His bed (a filthy mattress on the floor) is surrounded with Gatorade bottles full of piss.” This doesn’t sound like an “effortless and amazing” lifestyle, it just sounds gross. Putting some effort into things can be sexy.
Emily H. said:
“Putting some effort into things can be sexy.”
I get real leery as soon as a woman starts describing “effort” as “sexy.” I start picturing my “sexy” ass being told to get a real job and to start regularly wiping my ass instead of just cleaning it when I’m in the shower and on and on…Sexiness is all about being effortless. What are you? A Mormon? I thought Mormon women were supposed to be pretty wild. Loosen up, baby.
My brother and I made a baseball bat like that one Dash is holding and
he killed a possum with it at night in our backyard. He took the possum blood
and wrote “Snake” with on a white t-shirt and wore it around for 6 months.
He was 12 at the time and is a stockbrocker now with 2 kids.
just a normal guy is just a normal idiot.. you think creme rises to the top just by working hard?? what a dumb ass you are on some american dream bullshit
WELL COMO NERDA I THINK YOU ARE NOT VERY SMART BECASUE YOU OBVIOSLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE FOCUS OF THIS WEB SITE WHICH SHOULD BE CALLED “STREET BONERS AND HARD WORKERS” BECAUSE I DON’T THINK GAVIN MCINES WOULD CHOOSE TO REPRESENT THE BEST OF WESTERN CIVILIZATION (THANKS TO OUR EUROPEAN FOURBEARERS) WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT HARD WORKERS LIKE LESLYE AFRIN, JIM GOAD AND DASH SNOW, THEY ARE WORKING HARD AND REALLY WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SHOW FOR YOURSELF? JUST A NERDA WITH SOME COME, AND I THINK WE KNOW THAT YOUR COME IS NOT THE KIND OF CREME THAT IS EVER GOING TO RISE TO THE TOP …. LOL
the fact that people who don’t know who he is keep referring to Dash Snow as “that Kid Rock guy” is just about the funniest thing ever. like really really fucking funny. fucking love it. i like Ed Templeton more anyways.
Shhhhh, don’t tell anyone but we do know who he is. We actually know him so well that we know that pretending to not know who he is while comparing him to Kid Rock will work some heavy joo-joo on his pampered, sulky ego. You see, it’s all a part of the mental terror war we’re waging against Philistine’s infidels and their mind-blowingly awful art.
you see i don’t know Dash Snow but i would like to possibly kiss him and hump him naked based on the photo above and others for that matter. but i know that he is not funny. i know this for a fact beyond all facts. he is far too gorgeous to be funny.
now the man on the motorcycle is funny as hell and he makes dash snow look like (and i hate to cuss) a faggotprick.
I love Kid Rock’s style so who is this Dash Snow that tries to dress like him? There is definite effort into trying to be like Kid Rock.
PS. What’s wrong with Christian Audigier, Von Dutch, etc? Isn’t that what all the hipster-douches are wearing?
@ Starlight
trolled
like anyone who wears ed hardy knows how to internet. thanks for the advice jen, maybe tomorrow you can tell all of us how to tie our shoes. black jeans and vans, riveting information!
jesus. this started out cool, then i’m googling dash snow and getting eye raped by black dick coke bumps. what the fuck happened? ….hey did thompson have a specific need for that cigarette thing? like an obsession with gnawing which would destroy any unprotected butt?
I say more Kevin Federline bad boy pose than Kid Cock
Smell his fingers
black metal rules. dress like a biker. wear black jeans. and be as effortless as Dash Snow.
@ Frank De Falco – “I love Kid Rock’s style so who is this Dash Snow that tries to dress like him? There is definite effort into trying to be like Kid Rock.” nice 1!
and nice troll on starlight
Too bad I didn’t write the comment above but if you knew me you’d know I definitely wouldn’t want everyone to “dress like a biker” or look like Dash (because I doubt just anyone could pull either of those off and still look good and like they weren’t total fakers). The point was to say dudes don’t have to look like giant open sores in the worst clothes ever. Dash and Max are here to give you an idea of what NOT looking like a douche looks like.
Dash looks cool. If he’s trying that means he’s succeeded.
Vane$$a – If art is ‘mind-blowingly awful…’ I’d say it was pretty fuckin good art.
If my mind is blown by anything… I usually enjoy it.
Oh come on.
i’d personally say that dash, much like jen herself, looks like a total fake and as much as a douche as yer average ed hardy wearing faggot.
it’s also obvious that dash is a hack who is trying painfully hard and that jen has a quite unfortunate daddy complex.
in short : silly late 20-something rich white people dressing and acting like unfortunate poor white people.
Unfortunate, mind blowingly poor white people.
“Dash” sure sounds and looks like “Douche” to me.
max schaaaaaaaaafffff
Is there a way to become a content writer for the site?
[...] I still maintain that Max & Dash had the best personal style around, taking a look at some of these outtake [...]
i wonder how many of those that hated on dash snow in this post felt terrible when he died. ;P
Cap’n Gliiterfuz actualy predicted he would die if you read one of his first comments here. “They have a way of weeding themselves out.” Eerie and prescient.
