Say Good Mourning

I’ve been infatuated with this all black moment since Run This Town dropped—which we do. The new thing: look like you’re going to a funeral. We black–we wear all black–black money–I drive a black car–you not fly?—don’t tell mom that your style is dead…

If you can’t respect that your whole perspective is whack, maybe you’ll love me when I fade to black…”-Jay Z
Morehouse College, Spelman College & Clark Atlanta ; we go hard. Tip into class in all back and look at your fellow classmates like you’re all wack. Lol please don’t pay me no mind–cost you nothing. Do you move?–cause I shake–right out the gate like a homecoming game. Grab your uniform and let’s play; ain’t nothing wrong with the aim, just gotta change the target. The AUC stays creative–it’s in our jeans.
Ferragamo sneakers GO HARD. And may colors R.I.P. For now.

  7. Yea. The sandal outfit was too much. 1] I don’t understand ALL black everything WITH sandals. 2] you’re wearing a tie AND ripped jeans? Totally fights eachother. 3] Something’s wrong. Either it’s too hot for those sleeve or too cold for those sandals.

  9. Its a difference between style and fashion,and his assemble represents his sense of style. So if you consider his attire fashion. Maybe your the one who doesn’t know a thing or two.

  10. @yoga flame Fashion is defined as style in clothing, hair, and personal appearance generally; dance around it all you want it’s fashion. It may not the Fubu or Sean John or Macy’s your accustomed to, but nonetheless it’s fashion. Check out Lanvin’s Spring 2009 collection you may learn a thing or two

  13. Not feeling the sandals at all! Lateboots whats up w/ the pics of friends? I’m feeling like this is turning into Facebook.

    Lets get back to pieces and features! I heart the old Lateboots.

  14. The guy at the top well for me personally I think those style ripped jeans are too feminine & are those gray tights under them? #SideEye

    The guy in the all black with the sandals is giving ME too MUCH
    #SomethingAintRight

    The young lady in picture #4
    I would like her outfit minus both bags especially the BLUE
    She giving me #TooMuch

    The winner in my books goes to the young lady in picture #5 and the gentleman in picture #6

    Simplistic their outfits seem more sincere

  15. What happened to the inspirational driven creatives of the past I stumbled upon while browsing the World Wide Web. Lateboots, before “mass notoriety”, was a motivating venture featuring editorials, articles and interviews concerning fashion, current events, life and culture through an urban lens. Now it consists of self loathing, VIP entitled, glorified myspace dwellers. What is this, BET’s College Hill? GATHER

    The Brady Bunch ain’t all about Marsha.

    Please… back to variety

  16. @ Tiny Tim. Why are you using fashion labels to prove your arguement (Fubu,Sean John,Lavin )? When in fact Style is an extension of yourself. It’s attitude, personality and instinct. Style is not material. It’s a form of expression, a statement and it’s in the choices you make. No matter what brand of clothing the guy has on. His sense of style was a result of poor execution. As I view the picture I do not know what season or occasion he’s dressed for. Whatever point he was trying to prove in his style of dress. He failed at doing so. Now go get his coffin. I think he’s ready for his funeral,because we all know he was dead on arrival.

  17. @ Yoga Flame: Agreed.

    The tie vs the destroyed denim AND the longsleeve vs. The sandals still fuck with me so… Fu*k all the “style this fashion that” where’s the common sense? Just looking at the picture makes me uncomfortable.

  18. the boy with the adidas jacket,the chick above him,and the top look i die for

  19. Yeah it’s fashion. Atlanta’s fashion. I understand Atlanta is trying to bump their spot in the fashion world, but nobody will ever look twice at Atlanta’s style because it’s sloppy seconds. Take the acid washed jeans and polo, vintage shades and bow ties. We’re on another tip up here in the north. Jet setter
