Living the American Dream

Wild days at the desk with Hunter S. Thompson’s witty enlightenments. He was the gonzo champion of the world, rounding up political sex scandals and NBA scores in bucket hats, Hawaiian shirts and his signature yellow lensed Ray-Ban aviators. Nearly 50 years since his cult book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas was published and we’re still loving his American dream. Style checklist from the writer (for whom it never got weird enough) include a mishmash of outdoorsy safari jackets, golfing polos, visors, military shorts and the omnipresent Converse All-Stars. To emulate, simply apply sportsman utility with vivid Vegas prints. A magic formula to tune in, freak out and get beat.
