Real Talk "BASIC" Has Gone Mainstream...Is There "BASIC" for men? #Pause

So we all know the standard fit for ladies:  Uggs or some TB flats or Riding boots with lulu lemon tights and a North Face raincoat, fleece, or a hoody.  Usually a Kate Spade or Burberry scarf.  Accessorize with a Michael Kors watch, some Alex and Ani bangelettes, and a pumpkin spice beverage...This been the "look" for years now and due to social media it has gone 'mainstream' to the point where chiccs post pics of they starbucs like "BASIC!!!!!!!"

My question is: Is it a male version of the basic *****??  Are we out here looking stereotypical (for lacc of better term) too? :lol: :nerd:

You forgot the michale kors bag

Basic B**** outfit not complete without it
View media item 1727533

[gunplay]yeah I spilled my coors on your Michael kors *****[/gunplay]
 
I guess everything has to be labeled now. You can fool a lot of people with a shiny exterior.

Uggs/North Face??? No this is 2015 not 2008. Let me bestow upon you people the ULTIMATE in basic-ness these days:

You can't walk a NYC street without getting one of these rammed into your chest. 

One time I was walking around East Village and saw a girl leave her apartment with one of these. I kind of think they're hot (look if all the good looking girls have them they become a +3 on the scale) so I stole a glance, and she turns around. On her OTHER arm is a Lululemon bag, AND an LV bag. Talk about the trifecta of basic.

On that topic, I believe Lululemon bags (the ones you get for buying something at the store) are the new status symbol today.
 
Also OP you're flexed, Lululemon Inspire Crop IIs and riding boots are a +4 on any girl so 
 
:lol:

I know right just like people that wear basketball sneakers that don't play basketball

Or people who wear basketball, football or soccer jerseys who don't play the respective sports in them...

:lol: the **** are you ****** talmbout
 
Top knot. I can't take anyone rocking the top knot serious.

Wait did Complex just take this entire thread and make an article about it? Am I missing something here?
 
It amazes me that everybody always tries to be "different" but is really dressing and talking like everybody else. I've never subscribed to that and kind of dress and speak the way I was brought up. Vans, Levis 501 or 505, T shirt. If I'm dressing up, cowboy boots and a button up.

Same goes for a lot of NT, or at least NT general. A bunch of people on here got into sneakers to be different, where a lot of people got into sneakers to be like everybody else. I blame Henzo.
 
a square person + consensus-driven attire + pumpkin spice latter (or other trending beverage) = "basic"
 
**** boy only got popular cause keef and all these corny chicago drill rappers were using it
Yall give dudes undeserved credit way too much

Only thing Keef made popular was "BANG BANG"

PREACH!

This time of year I'm usually in a Nike sweatsuit with some sneakers or some Levis with a thermal or hoodie with some timbs.

I'm basic and I love it.
