When it's cool to be an Addict

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Style in the News, Clothing, Men


Whit Honea is a slacker, a borderline degenerate, and a daydream believer. He's also our resident expert on casual chic. If it's comfortable, and not heinous, he's all over it. He's quite charming, really.


With all apologies to K's Choice: It's not a habit, it's cool. We feel alive. If you don't have it you're on the other side. We're not an addict. Maybe that's a lie.

Maybe it is a lie, because after viewing this collection of t-shirts from the U.K.'s respected brand Addict, we're thinking we need a fix.

Here's what you should know about them, "What initially started with 1 logo, 4 tee shirt prints and a dream in 1994 of creating a British Streetwear [sic] brand that could stand shoulder to shoulder with its US counterparts, has slowly but surely become reality over the last 11 years...Addict ®. With its direct approach, it has built its reputation on solid foundations through the consistent production of clean, minimally branded, functional men's and women's clothing with fine attention to detail attracting the support of some of the finest stores across the UK and the continent.

"Addict ® remains an independently designer owned and led company producing all its clothing and patterns in-house, focusing on product development and letting the brand evolve naturally rather than bending to fit in with fashion.

"High end streetwear [sic], manufactured to a very high standard using top quality fabric and trims at highly competitive price points... built from the outside in."

It's not a habit, it's cool. Be an Addict.
