Togs Blogs

Two WWD focused posts in one day? Good lord!  Menswear reporter David Lipke recently profiled 5 prominent men's style blogs/bloggers for WWD's weekly Menswear report, which runs every Thursday for those of you keeping score at home.  You probably know all these guys from their respective sites and are probably even fans of their work.  I've been lucky enough to meet everyone on this list in some capacity or another and I can vouch for all of them as talented bloggers and even better guys.  Lipke doesn't really dig to deep in his feature since its aim is to introduce versus expose, but you are likely to walk away with some inside information even if you've been up on these gents for a while.  He even posts their audience size and revenue streams - how gauche.  At the end of the day I love seeing my blogging brethren get some much deserved shine so it was nice for WWD to devote space to some of the folks who are doing it right.  I will always be a fan first and foremost.

    You don't need an introduction. That's why you're not on there. ♥

    I'd hardly consider Fred inspirational. One look at his personal photography site and you can see he is a fraud. He hounds the average joe for looking gauche on UP, all while he parades around in baggy, tattered jeans and flip-flops on another site. What a phony.

    I agree with Dave on this. I've had to stop following Fred on Twitter and I rarely go to UP anymore. He tries entirely too hard and his (seemingly made-up) rules are ridiculous. In trying so hard to be a "prep", he's essentially become a caricature of the lifestyle to which he so desperately wants to belong. It's all especially confounding when you consider his photography business website that Dave mentioned. The contrast between the two websites/personalities couldn't be more stark. Anyway, that's my opinion.
