I am 16 years old and still trying to find my particular style. I have friends that go the metro look, others that are surfer style, some that are more of a skater style and yet others that rock the bogan/yobbo look.
They all look great and wear their particular style in such a way that they can pull it off.

I want to try and get this thread going with people writing about their particular styles, what types of threads go under that style and a bit about how their personality is shown through what they wear.

I hope that we can get enough people to write about their own style that those like myself (who cant decide on a particular style) will have more information.

So if you think you know how to rock any fashion, then make a post and remember to not only say what fashion it is but to also talk about what kind of clothes are in that category and what kind of personality it represents (as we all know that people DO judge you on your appearance).

I can't tell if he's implying that he's a Brit or an Aussie. I think FNB's loss has finaly driven him insane.

As you can see by my avatar ... I'm totally into the bogan/yobbo look.

Since none of you yobs are willing to help me I figured it out myself. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yobbo Yobbo or yob is a slang term for an uncouth or thuggish working-class person. The word derives from a back slang reading of the word "boy" (boy or boyo reversed becomes yob or — slightly modified — yobbo).

So that's why Vox is a true definition of Yobbo/Bogan

He's more Bogan IMO


The term bogan (pronounced /ˈboʊɡən/, rhyming with slogan) is Australian and New Zealand English slang, usually pejorative or self-deprecating, for a person who is, or is supposed to be, of a lower-class background and whose characteristics exemplify, often crudely, this background. The speech and mannerisms of a bogan, according to the stereotype, are such as to indicate poor education, a preference for cheap clothing, and uncultured upbringing. 'Bogans' tend to reside in poor suburbs or rural areas.
