Style: No Homo - How to Deal with the Fucking Rain



Bros,
            As you read this article, it is either Monday or Tuesday; regardless, another wonderful weekend full of aggressive drinking and the occasional cracking of a textbook has turned into the first days of another sluggish week.
            This week has been made even more sluggish by the rain and wind prevalent around our lovely Oxford. While moseying to class today, I was repeatedly taken aback by the sheer number of bros sporting improper footwear on such a blustery day. We, as bros, are some of society’s finest specimens; we pride ourselves on our ability to excel in any situation while also being noticed.
            The one thing I noticed, however, was not over-the-top peacocking and all around awesomeness, yet soggy dogs—a lot of them. Bros and broettes walked past me in squishy Sperrys and turgid tennis shoes. Each situation is hardly ideal.
            With that being said, naturally, Sandy Brofax would make a good recommendation as to the perfect fall shoe … aaaaand, here I am! Your answer? The L.L. Bean Bean Boot Moccasin. An American classic, the Bean Boot Moc is appropriate for those cloudy fall days, that messy tailgate, that trip to CJ’s. A combination of a rubber bottom and leather upper, they give you the brilliance of boots with the appearance of sweet kicks. While bros primarily opt for the standard original Bean Boot, mocs are a good choice, especially in this fickle weather.
            So, retire the Sperrys for the sunny day; wear your tennis shoes when you get swole at the Rec. Bean Mocs ‘til death.

If L.L.Bean is good enough for the MLB, it is good enough for you, bro.

  1. These look super great for repelling water and girls. I'll be sure to tell my dad to order a pair on his LL Bean credit card! But seriously, these are the bro equivalent of uggs in the worst way. "Fashionably conscious" and LL Bean do not belong in the same sentence. To all the bros with a legit kick game, invest in Scotch Guard and some shoe cleaner from Finish Line. It works on Nike's or Tim's, or hunting/cowboy boots, really any not cripplingly lame boots.
