A New Take on the Modern Indie Icon

You might like to add a hint of indie to your look but why add a hint when you can go the whole hog? If you truly want to be an Indie God then you need to completely dedicate yourself to it. Here we have compiled a quick list of what makes the ultimate indie outfit. Take a look and see if you agree with us:

The Trilby

Let’s start from the top because an Indie God will be styled from top to toe. The trilby requires confidence but any respectable indie boy or girl wears one. Tilted to the side, slightly forward, or slightly back you can’t go wrong with it. If you want to tone it down slightly then choose a brown or grey but if you’ve got the nerve go for a bright green or something because, after all, who’s going to question an Indie God?

The Classic White Shirt

A crisp white shirt is a must. Sleeves rolled down when you are a gentleman (or lady!) at work, and then casually rolled up at the end of the day. Keep the top button done up at all times of course.

Neck Tie

The tie is arguably the most important piece of the Indie attire. You will have heard the odd Neanderthal harking on about how the tie is old fashioned and we don’t need them anymore. Don’t listen to them. Ladies love it and so do we. A standard tie is fine but an Indie God wears a neck tie which is a brighter and more unusual. If you do stick with a convention tie, make sure that it is long enough to tuck into your trousers for that neat look.

The Waistcoat

Modelled by everybody from Timberlake (left) to Johnny Depp the waistcoat turns an average suit into an Indie explosion. It gives the whole look that refined edge of an Indie God and says “I may be an Indie rocker but I am also a dapper gent”.

Straight Legged Trousers

Straight legged trousers may seem a slightly controversial addition to the list. Surely an Indie God is going to be rocking a pair of skinnies? However, straight legged trousers that share the same material as the waistcoat provide a streamlined, polished look. Straight legs will look best with your matching brogues as well.

Indie Shoes

They say that you can always judge a man by his shoes. If the shoes are the measure of the man then you better make sure you get this part spot on. You cannot be Indie down to your ankles and finish it off with your old trainers, it simply won’t do. Indie shoes pull the whole outfit together. Men’s brogues are the type: they’re comfortable, they look smart, and they are suitable for every occasion.
