The Rake: Bad Boy Vibes
If the dandy is about precision, the rake is pure rebellion. Honestly, this is my favourite style. It’s not just about the clothes; it’s about the attitude. The rake breaks rules, mixes things up, and makes looking undone look seriously cool.
Think Jax Teller from Sons of Anarchy. He’s the bad boy in movies, the quiet type whose actions do the talking. He is not loud, but you always notice him.
The rake wears shirts half unbuttoned, tailoring that’s just a bit rumpled, and doesn’t stress if his hair’s a mess. He’ll throw on a leather jacket with a crisp shirt or boots with a suit, and somehow it just works.
What sets the rake apart? He’s the rebel. It takes confidence to pull this off. A certain swagger that says, “I do what I want.” Accessories are lived-in: vintage sunglasses, worn rings, maybe a scarf that’s seen some stories.
To dress like a rake, loosen up. Be bold. Break some rules. It’s a vibe, not a formula and you’ve got to own it.
That’s the rake way.
