‘Magazine for City Boys’
Though this extra chunky latest issue is curiously titled 'Fashion Issue 2024' (surely that's every issue, City Boys?), it takes inspiration from the 1975 money-saving style guide Cheap Chic by helping you tackle your own personal style across workwear, shoes, ‘ethnic’ clothing, outdoor layers (including a multi-generation breakdown of camo), and classic pieces. Browse the options, then head to the latter part of the issue to see 'em styled.
According to the editors:
‘Popeye magazine is the “Magazine for City Boys”. The founders printed this on the cover of the magazine when it debuted in 1976. What’s a “city boy”? The term doesn’t appear in the dictionary and no expert panel could define it. So we felt we should explore every aspect of what this “city boy” might be. After decades of debate, it still makes for a topic of lively discussion. It can be a style or a way of thinking. To get an idea of what makes a city boy, read Popeye magazine.'
