I wont lie some hipsters look ridiculous but what do you guys think about this clean version with more class:

- LV/D&G or high quality dark denim skinny jeans
- plain colored fitted t-shirt
- Desert boots or plain color loafers
- Clean Long hair + beard/mustache

I've had that delusion about white loafers that they may look good in some situations. But then I woke up.

I have a pair and they dont look bad.

Either way if it bothers you think about brown loafers now

You need to find some shoes with branding that people will recognize. Your examples have too subtle branding so people might mistake you for a non-classy and dirty hipster who can't afford LV shoes.

Whenever I see white shoes I think of lawn bowling seniors.

Unless you have special servants carrying you everywhere you go, white shoes never stay white.

It's a trick question. There is no such thing as a classy hipster.

True hipsters dont wear logos because it might give away their trust-fund status.

+1.

All the hipster's I've known came from wealthy backgrounds. Spending all your time trying to be 'authentic' is a rich kid's game.

I think something more subtle like this should do.

The rich kids I knew took it a step farther and became gutter punks with the obligatory dog and panhandled.
