Green Monsters

rue Saint-Honoré Paris, France

This picture may be a little cluttered... but you know why we took it.  Lime green chucks... yes please.  Rockin' the roll round three... yes please. Striped socks to top it off... baby don't stop!

While taking this picture we weren't sure if the lady misunderstood us because she did not speak French, or because her dog was acting up a storm.  Regardless, we got the pup to chill out for just a few seconds while we snapped a shot of this awesome detail.

Broken In

Paris, France

We all have that favorite pair of shoes that we just can't get rid of, no matter how many holes and scuffs are breaking them apart.  These lace-ups are a bit dessert boot inspired but seem like a perfect fit for someone with clashing socks.  The pair of super skinny jeans seem comfortable and have that hug your body kind of feel these shoes have been offering for some time.  How much longer will the kicks hold up?

Caught Looking

Paris, France

So this guy happened to glance over just as I was snapping a shot of he and his buddies.  You think he knew it was because I was digging their awesome combination of denim?  A few denim jackets, a bit of noirdenim, and some DIY jorts to top it all off.  Very well done guys.

Different Jorts For Different Cohorts

Between Paris and Venice we have been seeing a lot of jorts lately.  There's something so classically simple about the jean shorts look...it incorporates comfortable denim with that inner swag we all have hidden somewhere deep down.  They certainly are not an easy look to pull off, but done correctly you can really stand out with your denim hot pants.

Different strokes...

...for different folks!

The Honeymooners

I've always thought Venice would be a great place to honeymoon, don't you think?

Looking comfortable and stylish, with suspenders for suspense and a see-through top for clarity.

Denim, denim everywhere... Where to begin?

Of course the first detail that caught my eye was his earrings and hipster hat. I used to rock a beanie like that for a while, so I respected his Burgundy-colored choice.

The dude's tattoos are very cool, and his pairing of bleu and noir denim is the best kind I know. He adds a French touch with the St. James stripes. She certainly follows this francophile spirit, taking part in the jorts/stockings trend we've seen so much of in Paris this year. She, however, picked a high waisted pair and a chunky belt to boot. And doesn't she just look cute the way her soft-looking top is tucked in with the boyfriend shirt hanging out?

Loafers galore to finish us off. Sick kicks!

Hard to Look Past

The look, perfect.  The beauty, even better.

We liked the roll on this girl's jorts and the way her tee billowed over them as she walked. The studs on her bag didn't poke us the wrong way either.

Talk about casual elegance.

A Little Kiss For The Camera

So you may be wondering where Slick and Clarence have disappeared to recently...if you did, it means you're a faithful reader and we appreciate your patience.  But we're back, and we're ready to start fresh this summer with both of us here in Europe.  From the pictures taken on a recent trip to Venice, I can already tell that we're in for a good summer.  The laid back way of life in most cities on this side of the pond translates to comfortable swag, displayed in outfits like this one.

The outfit itself might not seem like it took that much time to pull together, but one cannot overlook the attention to detail this lovely Italian has for her accessories.  What I found most appealing in this look was how well the brown and turquoise and denim all seem to accent each other...that and the endearing bises she seems to be giving the camera.  With warm summer weather clearly on its way; throw on your pair of comfortable jeans with a light sweater to match and you're good to go.
