Thugwear returns to Newbury Street

They’ve been busy getting the old but improved Burberry store ready and open for the summer season on Newbury Street. The Boston Herald reports that the store will open its doors on May 15.

I know it’s not Burberry’s fault that its apparel has become thugwear, and the company did drop its hooligan-must-have checkered hat, but, you know, if you don’t want to be taken for a thug, don’t dress like one (women, and men over 50, are exempted).

Besides, Burberry is a thug cliche, while Stone Island and Aquascutum still retain some freshness, supposedly. Aqua has a store on Boylston Street, but I don’t where you can get your hands on SI.

Me, I prefer team paraphernalia. I am what the Old Country casuals call a “Christmas tree.” Hey, what’s not to like about a Christmas tree?
