Philadelphia, the worst dressed city in the country...could it be true? Well, GQ thinks so and I know many others do as well. If you're not from the Delaware Valley then you almost certainly hate Philly, just about everyone does. We're known for our blue collar, hard working, snowball throwing, Michael Irving booing, tough persona which I for one take pride in being part of. I really love this city and feel as though we're all family, no matter what race or background. We're known for a lot, but there's one thing that we're not known for and that's style. I've seen it first hand all over the city and what everyone's saying is true, Philadelphia has no style!
This dilemma is in effect from North Philly to Citizens Bank Park, we have pride in everything except the way we dress. It doesn't cost a lot of money to dress well or to have style, all it takes is a little bit of effort. Sweatpants and tank tops are meant for the gym and lounging around your house, not down town! Don't be discouraged if you get shit from your friends because you decided to wear a nice shirt that doesn't have a dragon raping a lizard on a skateboard on the front and Mr. Ed Hardy's autograph on the back, you'll stand out, and for good reasons . Try it and lead by example, I guarantee your friends will follow “suit.”
Go hit a sale at Macy's and get a few new shirts, a couple nice pairs of pants and see what compliments you get when you're at work or out at night. You never know who you might bump into, so in my opinion it is always a good idea to look your best wherever you go. Who knows, you could meet a future employer or girlfriend so look sharp!
