Men’s Street Style Round-up: August 2012
Our teachers lied to us. When we were sitting in Maths lessons they were stringing us along. They did the same in French, and Biology too. At parent’s evening, when they looked earnestly at us and asked us to try harder, because these exams were very important, they were laughing inside.
The secret they were hiding is that trying hard doesn’t always work. Sometimes you need to work smarter rather than harder, and sometimes you just need to relax and let it happen.
When I hear that fashion has to be relaxed, has to feel sprezzatura, that it shouldn’t try too hard, it can frustrate me. But it is partially true. This week we’re looking at that problem: what is this notion of not trying too hard, and how can we start use it? Better yet, how do we address the wider problem of attitude?
