i agree, this look is rather played out, especially in nyc where every schmuck in and out of soho and willyburg is sporting the americana/workwear/vintage-prep/heritage...etc..etc look. but the fact of the matter is, i don't see anything emerging out of the menswear space that can hold a candle to this rather ubiquitous, or as you say, look that lacks any originality. there's been some mention that the look is going more northern european--a la gant by bastian. and then you have people who swear that there will be an imminent comeback to more tailored european looks. regardless, in my opinion, everything is in the execution. and whether or not every hipster has his chinos rolled up with a pair of vibergs and selvedge denim and a shrunken junya blazer in (insert cosmopolitan city) - i have to say, it's still relevant. at least for another year or so.
