If you’ve got a hipster on your holiday shopping list, might Hypeful recommend the Elitism Diagram Shirt? Although it’s a funny and spot-on graphical representation of hipster snobbery, just don’t tell them it’s not printed on American Apparel…(Thanks to BWE for the heads up!)

In making an argument for the superiority of pants, a very wise man (actually Hypeful’s friend Seth at a local bar) once pointed out that “Mick Jagger would never wear shorts.” While Jagger’s inimitable style has had a few stumbles, NME offers further evidence that English rockers and shorts are a highly unstable combo. In their preparation for England to take on Croatia at Wembley, the mag has assembled some amusing photos of English rock stars (who aren’t Jagger) in shorts. I’ve posted three of my faves above (from left to right) - Jarvis Cocker, Damon Albarn, and Pete Doherty. Perhaps this is why soccer will never catch on in America…

Just in time for Halloween, Spinner counts down the 20 craziest costumed acts who recognize that sometimes what you wear is just as important as how you sound.

Better luck on making the list next year, chain mail-clad Ryan Adams…although your metal-inspired garb is likely to haunt our dreams well through Halloween.
