“Basic white guys in the US wear:
• New Balance shoes
• Gap/Levi’s jeans
• Band T-shirt
• College hoodie.”

United Kingdom

“In the UK I’d say those tight jeans/chinos that stop at the ankle, extra-long white T-shirt that goes past the butt and hair that’s too short on the sides and too long in the top.”

United Kingdom, cont.

“In the U.K. at least: undercuts, air maxes, and overuse of the word ‘sesh.’”

England

“Hopping over the pond:
• England football shirt
• Matalan or George Jeans
• buzzcut
• grey hoodie
• can of Heineken or Steller.”

Lux-Vertas


Scotland

“Here in Glasgow you just need to go to your local Nando’s to see the fuckery of basicness in guys:
• Quiff/undercut/topknot hairstyle or ball cap of an American sports team they’ve never heard of. Usually backwards sitting too high on the forehead.
• Ripped knee skinny jeans or joggers.
• Bomber jacket with neutral color T-shirt underneath.
• White New Balance trainers or huaraches.
• Don’t get me wrong, dress how you want but it’s cringey to seem them all dress the exact same fucking way.”

Suburban New York

“Here in suburban New York, the answer is Vineyard Vines. Everyone tries so hard to appear as if they or their parents own a yacht. It’s pretty funny. Oh, and also Timbs! Apparently those are unironically back now.”

Arkansas

“The actual answer here is a ‘DMND’ brand stupid black shirt that was 50 dollars and has a diamond on the front, a backwards hat, long stupid cargo shorts and vans. That’s what basic is I live in Arkansas and see this I’ve seen it everywhere it’s an epidemic and it’s much more basic than frat dress.”

Midwest

“Middle-aged Midwestern version: football jersey, baseball hat 24/7, white guy shaved head to disguise receding hairline, dad jeans, white New Balance, some configuration of a goatee to try and define your double chin. This is my dating pool and this is 99% of the profile pictures on OKCupid. I don’t think I could tell most of the guys apart side by side in a lineup.”

Redneck Country

“Where I live there’s two basic guy groups: the bro and the redneck, then the normal guys.

Bro: Nike shirt/hoodie/windbreaker, athletic shorts or rock revival pant, Nike sandals or vans both with black Nike socks. With sunglasses and water bottle.

Redneck: Carhartt or Ben Davis shirt/hoodie/coat, wrangler jeans or Carhartt work pants, cowboy or work boots. With pocket knife and chew/smokes. I fall into this group.”
