When it comes to the San Francisco Giants, there are fashion statements and then there are fashion statements. While Brian Wilson might be the undisputed king of fratboy costume party antics, it's nice to see a member of the Giants' pitching staff at least attempting to dress like a normal human being who steps out in public once in awhile instead of acting like an insane dictator. Anyhow, here's Matt Cain orange and black argyle pants at the Giants vs. 49ers Charity Shootout at Pebble Beach. A bold fashion statement, to be sure. more ›

Mission Mission brings our attention to something of the utmost importance this morning: a Converse All Stars-sporting hipster streaker caught by SFPD on Thursday night. An especially brave move seeing as how last night's weather almost dipped down to freezing levels. Anyway, we're thrilled he's wearing Mission denizens' favorite choice in footwear. It made us wonder what other neighborhood locals would wear if, through a combination of drugs and alcohol (or so we assume), they too went streaking in the night. more ›

At the Hilltop Mall in the city of Richmond, shots rang out at around 6 a.m. An estimated three thousand were in line waiting for the new Nike's new Air Jordan 11 Retro Concords. (The shoes, it seems, appreciate in value.) That's when someone fired a gun into the air. According to KRON 4 Morning News, no one was hurt and a suspect is in custody. more ›

Here's a pure, polished gem from the height of cat-eye glasses mania in 1955. We're pretty sure that there is not a single pair of frames shown here that is not butt-ass ugly. And we are also quite certain there are 1,000 girls in the Mission who would KILL for several of them if they happened upon them at Idol Vintage. [Polka-Dottie via WOW] more ›

During a Fleet Week fete on Saturday, Giants star Brian Wilson made an appearance at a party while sporting a bizarre outfit. While the pic's photog (from Portal A Interactive) didn't grant SFist permission to publish the image of Wilson and his unusual attire—which, among a bevy of sartorial accents, featured pleather MC Hammerian balloon pants, a large gold belt, and two gold chains extending down his legs—we can tell you that the noted pitcher wore an orange t-shirt that read, "Fear the mustache," complete with a cartoon mustache and rectangular eyeglasses. more ›

The tony overlords at 7x7 Magazine named Stylebistro editor (and, above all else, former SFist style editor) Chloe Harris their new executive editor. In addition to having worked within the fashion media realm for years now, she's also a staunch advocate of marriage equality with her partner, food photographer Frankie Frankeny. (Check out JustMarried for more details.) more ›

Because we can never not blog a Brian Wilson fashion statement, here's a shot of the bearded one's footwear spotted in the dugout Friday at Coors Field. The shoes, in case you missed all the hype, are Nike Air MAGs. Children of the 80s and Robert Zemeckis fans might recognize them as strikingly similar to the shoes Marty McFly picked up on a trip to 2015 in Back to the Future: Part II. Although Nike hasn't quite perfected the self-lacing technology from the movie, they do light up with LEDs - making them only slightly more awesome than the bright orange numbers that famously netted Wilson a hefty fine for wearing on the field. more ›

COMEDY: Ex-scientist turned comedian Tim Lee takes the stage at the Punchline. As NY Times reports, "The former biologist was Tim Lee. After completing his undergraduate biology degree at the University of California, San Diego, he worked at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography for a while before he realized he needed a doctorate to do the interesting work. But by the time he finished his Ph.D. at the University of California, Davis, he had realized he hated academia." Hilarious! $20, 8 pm, Punchline (444 Battery) more ›

A group of men attacked a fellow bar patron at a bar on the 5700 block of Mission Street for apparently sporting the wrong kind of fashion. "The 31-year-old victim was pulled outside of the bar by five suspects who apparently did not like his shirt," reports SF Appeal. "The suspects beat the man and also took his cellphone and cash before fleeing." more ›

Skullcap-shatteringly brilliant blogger Diane Dorrans Saeks just posted what could possibly be the most important lifestyle piece you will ever read. Why? Because it's about Denise Hale, that's why. And yet? It's also about so much more. Or not. more ›

Billed as the key reason why romance novelist Danielle Steel skipped town, the city has no sense of high style. In fact, GQ just declared San Francisco the 20th Worst-Dressed U.S. city. Which...fine. We get it. We do. We're a bit lackadaisical when it comes to attire. Or are we? By and large, the city's key demographic goes to great lengths to dress with the right amount of affected insouciance or brightly-colored wan. Nowhere is that more apparent than in the Mission arrondissement where men look like bike-riding sheep (black pants, black shirt, hoodie, Giants cap) while the ladies tend to fashion themselves as third graders (rompers, Etsy jewelry, hairdos riddled with flyaways, cupcakes) so as to appear nonthreatening to men. more ›

SFist was the first to bring you the now-famous spandex suit Giants closer Brian Wilson wore at Wednesday's ESPY Awards, and it was glorious. We don't know about you, but our appreciation for Wilson as a San Francisco delegate jumped tenfold. However, not everybody was happy about it. Broadcaster and KCBS commentator John Madden slammed Wilson this morning for his revealing attire at last night's awards show. more ›

20-year-old Deshon Marman, a football player visiting from the University of New Mexico, was in custody at SFO this morning after refusing to pull up his sagging pants. According to KTVU, Marman was asked several times by customer service reps and flight attendance to pull up his pants while boarding his US Airways flight to Phoenix. US Airways, as readers may not be aware, has a dress code that forbids "indecent exposure or inappropriate attire", which airline employees felt his exposed underwear was violating. more ›

Tonight, laugh yourself silly at Cobb's while enjoying your two-beverage minimum, attend a one-of-a-kind performance that's "part dance, part video, and part radical social experiment" at Z Space, or check out some funky fashion while gyrating to some live dance-rock and electronica at the First Unitarian Universalist Church. more ›

You like? Of course you do. Well, now you can own this resplendent Buster Posey dreamcatcher (heh) t-shirt for a mere $20. True. The fine folks over at Mission Mission bring your attention to this shirt, created before our noted Rookie of the Year injured his leg on Wednesday, which you can purchase from someone named Nick at creamydesignsllc@gmail.com. Wear it to honor our (temporarily!) fallen soldier. Wear it to show your hippie/Giants pride. Wear it because it's rad.

Danielle Steel, former San Francisco resident and vocal critic of Teva sandals, was back in town this weekend for the San Francisco Art Fair at Fort Mason. The Chronicle's Leah Garchik reports Mrs. Steel was spotted when she "swooped in" to the festival sporting an "orange chubby", which is apparently some kind of furry or feathery shoulder covering...and not what you were thinking it was. If Garchik's description makes Mrs. Steel sound like she is getting ready for another How Weird Street Faire, you'll have to forgive the prolific author - she did admit she looks like a mess when she's in town. The author later purchased an oil painting of worn out sneakers by artist Gordon Smedt. [Chron] more ›

Shotwell, a super fine clothing store at 320 Grant, was a beacon of hope in Union Square. A clothing store that felt comfortable, affordable, and, dare we say it, literally hip. SFist gave them a glowing review/interview back in 2009. So, stylish readers, it is with a heavy heart we must tell you that they will soon close shop...and move to The Mission. (Ugh.) more ›
