T-Shirterchiefs
Graffiti writers did this first. When they weren’t covering their faces outlaw-style, they would pull the T-shirt they had around their face down into the neckerchief zone. It’s caught on majorly here in New York now. New variations are popping up daily.

Winter Shorts
In the city during the winter, it isn’t like you’re running around outside all day. You go from house to cab to office to bar pretty quickly. Why not brave ten minutes of cold legs here and there for this en fuego new look?
