Real Street Style: Paris Edition - Polka Dots and Neck Tattoos

I just got back from a trip to Paris, and one day I spotted this dapper young gentleman on the metro.

His name is Sliimy, and he was gracious enough to let me snap a few shots of his outfit.

I love the mix of fun polka dots with his edgy tattoos. 

Classic shoes with a vintage look. 

Get the look: 

Topman Polka Dot Jumper

EDIT: I recently found out that Sliimy is well known in French fashion and music circles. No wonder he’s so cool! Check out his Facebook Page and Tumblr!

this is a blog about style. i prefer the term style because i don't necessarily follow "fashion" or "trends". i appreciate those things, but i prefer to explore real-world style, what people wear in their daily lives (hence the tagline "keepin' it real"), where they shop, but also, from time to time, what's going on in the world of high fashion, and other aspects of fashion design.

i'll also be trying to cover more menswear, as well as hair and makeup, once i learn more about it!
