Ooh Wee Ooh, I Look Just Like Buddy Holly

{Waylon Jennings & Buddy Holly}

They're calling it "Geek Chic." In Boston, you can catch this style walking around Allston "Rock City" holding an Arizona Iced Tea, or as the locals have been known to say, an "Allston Tea." How do you spot them? Look for little Buddy Hollys in Chuck Taylors. The hipsters and emos have revolutionized the nifty-fifties and designers are finally giving them the fashion-cred they deserve.
