These are the black canvas Vans that White usually wears. "I used to wear Converse every day, but Vans are much more comfortable," he says. This is the guitar White was carrying when we spotted him. He picked it up at Guitar Center three years ago and, after he dropped it a bunch of times, it would no longer plug into amps and transformed from an electric guitar to an acoustic guitar. Although White did not have a bag with him, he wanted to show us his unique cell phone, which has no back cover. "It's lost in my room somewhere," he says.Style analysis: White is inspired by classic staples of rock-and-roll menswear -- and also rock-and-roll attitudes. He cites musicians like Jack White and Ty Segall as icons and even plays the guitar himself, completing his rock-and-roll aesthetic. Clad in blue denim jeans and jacket with contrasting red flannel the day we saw him, he wears his Vans religiously -- and doesn't mind his phone being unprotected.
When getting dressed, Denver, always look to your favorite music for inspiration.
