    Here stands the majestic Angad in his natural environment. Like always, he is looking pretty swell. I’m a fan of the Merino Wool Santa Sweater that Angad seems to don so majestically. I really like the amount of matching that this kid has going for him. The light blue, despite its sky blue color scheme, a character like Angad has the hair to pull it off. Angad does something that I’ve never seen before: he threw a splash of color under a perfectly good sweater. My only complaint with this specimen is that his sleeves are pulled up at different lengths. A model at Angad’s status should not be making such trite mistakes, I expected much better out of Angad. Lucky enough for him, Angad has the sexiness of a lion on the hunt and can easily pull this look. The watch brings together this look. The always-classic Timex watch gives a certain amount of banality to a resplendent outfit such as this. Unfortunately for Angad, I estimate that he spent about $1300 dollars for this outfit. I, on the other hand, could easily net this amount of style from the thrift shop. All in all, I give Angad a solid 9.5/10 for the day, although I expect Angad to start spending a little less money on his trips to school since he comes to school every day. $1300 a day is a bit too much for my taste.

    What we've got here is a neat watch, which really compliments that silver armband he's sporting. You've got some coordination between his green bandana and that green undershirt, which really ties the sweater together, and he obviously wore those shades of green to match the green in the trees in the mural behind him. Now I have a question for our resident expert, Tommy Hum-Hyder, and I'm just going to field this, but do you think he should maybe dye his beard to match the bandana? I can just imagine some green highlights in that luscious mane to compliment his bandana. That sounds pretty GQ to me, if I do say so myself.

    Now, I'm not fashion expert, but it seems to me like that sweater is definitely best fitted for fall weather. I mean, if it were a winter sweater, he could trade in those patterns for a reindeer. And then, he could turn it into a multi-seasonal sweater, you know, put a patch of a deer or a reindeer or something and then it'd be your traditional Christmas sweater. Very Armani and Gucci stuff here.

    If I had to pick my favorite part of the ensemble though, it's definitely those chic pants. I was reading in some fashion magazines that cargo is making a comeback, and while those pants aren't exactly cargo, denim and khaki are in the same ballpark, right? I mean, they're both worn as pants, so they can't be totally different; you know where I'm coming from, right Tommy? I guess if I were to give this outfit a rating, it'd definitely be a solid 10/10. It's just really seasonally accurate, and he can probably tell the time really well.

  3. Cas, in response to your superflous banter, I must inform you that that is in fact something, in the fashion industry, we like to call a turban. In this context, I have to believe that the placement of this turban is in the place of a flat-brim baseball cap. It's meant to look pretty and present some sass. But this model is quite the wonder - for all we know, it may have a religious context, but, again, we may never know.

  4. You know Tommy, I was really under the impression that it was less of a baseball-cap thing and more of a religious accessory, in the same ballpark (NO PUN INTENDED!!!) as maybe a silver crucifix necklace, or a David's Star charm. I think if it were to be in the same category as a baseball cap, it'd have to be purchased as a souvenir or merchandise. Now, if he purchased this so-called "turban" at a cricket game in the Arabias, it might be a different story. Again, though, that's just my understanding.

  5. It has just been brought to my attention that this product is, in fact, a religious device. We sincerely apologize to all of those who were offended by these posts. To those to wear turbans as an accessory, I must say "shame on you."
