Berlin Police Ban Fred Perry, Ben Sherman for On Duty Cops

Filed under: Style in the News

model wearing Ben Sherman's Opal sweaterIt's perfectly understandable why, in certain work situations, a strict uniform and dress code policy is mandatory. For police, it's important to be able to tell the good guys from the bad guys with a glance. We get that. In Berlin, however, policy makers are taking dress codes to the next level. They've banned 10 designer labels in the official police dress code because the lines are popular among neo-nazi groups.

Racy Relish Ads Cause Controversy in Rio - Fashion Police Brutality

Filed under: Style in the News

The Relish ad featuring Rio de Janeiro cops molesting womenThe latest fashion ads causing an uproar don't come from the likes of Tom Ford. Rather, these perverted dandies come from a small Italian fashion label named Relish, and they're so offensive that even the mayor of Rio de Janeiro is asking that the billboards be taken down. Of course, part of the reason Mayor Eduardo Paes is upset could be the fact that the ads feature men dressed as Rio cops. The other part is, of course, the fact that the cops are molesting women.

Road Kill T-Shirts because sometimes gross is funny

Filed under: 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.

We like to keep a nice balance here in the land of t-shirts. One day we may offer something highbrow, and the next day we might blindside you with crude and unacceptable behavior- you know, fun stuff.

Today we're talking about Road Kill T-Shirts, whose motto is "We beat them all." Guess which category they fit in.

British cops call fashion police

Filed under: Events: On the Scene, Style in the News, Clothing

Anyone who has visited the UK undoubtedly noticed the iconic (but fairly ridiculous) head gear worn by British police. While the helmets may make the force instantly recognizable to tourists and locals alike, they unfortunately aren't very practical. They not only make officers look silly, the damn things keep falling off when cops are chasing suspects.

So the force figures it's about time for a new look -- and for that, they're turning to the London College of Fashion design. Students will be re-designing an entirely new uniform, which will probably mean an end to the bell-shaped caps currently associated with UK crime fighting.

After the design overhaul is complete, the new threads will be tested by 50 male and female officers, during which time the public is encouraged to give feedback.

I'll be interested to see what they come up with. It's nice to see the police working hard to be fashion-forward.
