‘Magazine for City Boys’
A dose of springtime inspo in Popeye's April 2025 issue, which digs into the details of what makes fashion fun—‘the size of a shirt peeking out from the bottom of a knitted sweatshirt or the white T-shirt visible from the neck of a sweatshirt, the cushioning of the bottom of your pants, the material and colour matching of your shorts and socks...’
Playful is the keyword here, so expect oversized fits, clashing stripes, workwear-formalwear combos, plus plenty of patterns and colour.
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.'
