Look for Girls Who Like Boys in Blur's Suave Casual Look

Is it really more than 15 years since we were singing along to "Girls and Boys" in our best faux-Cockney accents and the British music press thrilled to the Blur vs. Oasis feud? That makes us feel old. But there's good news: Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree have reunited as a four-piece for the first time since Coxon left the group in 2002, and begun plotting a full-on comeback tour.

Fashion-wise, '90s Britpop was about dapper guys rejecting the downbeat, anti-fashion of grunge in favor of a sporty, streetwear style that embraced classic youth labels like Doc Martens, Fred Perry, Lacoste, Nike and Adidas. Blur, in particular, embraced a suave update of the "casual" look -- the swaggering, label-obsessed style that emerged from Britain's gig venues and soccer stadiums in the early '80s -- and imbued it with a quirky, Camden Town vintage-chic vibe.

Check our take on the classic Blur look, after the jump.

Metal Bottom Readers
Part of Blur's stylistic appeal was the different individual quirks each member brought to the overall indie-lad vibe. Just as iconic as Albarn's doe-eyed good looks and James's foppish bangs were Graham Coxon's introspective nerd specs. ($4 from UrbanOutfitters.com)
