Ameadowlark clues us in:

... If you see a dude wearing girl jeans anywhere near Boston, ask him if he's from Allston. Nine times out of ten, he'll do a double take and say "yeah, how'd you know?" The other time out of ten, he'll say "Brighton."

Alicia reports:

Yikes. I've seen 2 men willingly walking around Boston in Nantucket Red pants today. ... Thankfully neither pair of pants had little lobsters, hunting dogs or anchors embroidered all over them.

But are they topped with Yankees caps?

The news that the long arm of the law grabbed some ass the other night on Commercial Street (scroll down a bit when you click) has Amy Derjue wondering if Boston Police will now enforce fashion laws against too short tunics on Lansdowne Street and at the Alley:

We've noticed that a lot of college women don't quite understand recent fashion trends. The racks at H&M are filled with tunic-length garments that are meant to be worn with tights or leggings, but some young women are wearing them bare legged. ...

Susie confesses she's grown to like them:

... The hipster-types I go to school with are seriously nicer than many other people I've come across in this world. They're accepting of me, even as I'm waltzing around in my Ugg boots and pink North Face fleece. Maybe they find that my lack of irony actually makes me ironic. ...
