Try a Raf high-top on one foot and a Common Projects or Margiela on the other.

I've considered leaving one corner of my bindle untied, but I'm afraid other trainhoppers might call me out (no hobo).

I get dressed the night before and then just hop out of bed and go to work in the morning. This leaves just the right amount of crumpling and untuckedness to my clothes. Saves time in the morning, too!

"a certain nonchalance, so as to conceal all art and make whatever one does or says appear to be without effort and almost without any thought about it." That sounds about right.
