Favorite color: Purple, no question.

Shops at: I love thrift stores. They always have super-cool things that are so weird that you can't get anywhere else. Or online from oversea shops.
Malcolm also offers some styling tips: "Dress to impress yourself, wear what you like and what you think is cool. Who cares about what other people want you to wear?"

The second Sean we encountered in one week, Bueno loves to be eclectic in his fashion sense, buying pieces at thrift stores and any local shops that strike his fancy. Here he displays a nice mix of bracelets that are all neutral colors. Bueno moved here from Indianapolis two years ago. "It was a bit more ghetto back home," he says. "A lot of the guys wore backwards baseball caps with sagging jeans below their waist. Denver has a more fashion-forward style."Bueno is fashion-forward himself with his simple Converse, jeans and hoodie combo. The most exciting part of his outfit is the circular, knitted bag he carries. "I only have my phone and keys in there, " he says.
Style analysis: There seems to be no shortage of amusing men's fashion in metro Denver. These men are always on the move, be it by foot, train, plane or free mall ride. While Malcolm has a fun BOYLONDON necklace that demonstrates his global style and sense of campy fun, Bueno has a very straightforward, outdoorsy style that mixes local and popular culture. Both men are thrifty and adore uncommon accessories; both individuals take fashion cues from such disparate sources as True Blood, A Clockwork Orange, Indianapolis and Harajuku to create their look.
Even on the go, always remain cultured and fashionable, Denver.
