Ain't nothing hip about the so-called hipsters in 'Street Boner' by Gavin McInnes, a new book about egregious hipster fashion fails. The former Vice Magazine editor has compiled 1,200 pictures of style mishaps and coupled them with hilarious commentary that's worthy of the same level of laughter as its accompanying pictures.
My favorite caption has the be the one mocking the bald fellow in the super-tight purple jacket: "Wow you know your jacket is rich, when it gives you a boob job." For a good laugh, check out 'Street Boner' by Gavin McInnes above.
