Wayne CoyneDo you realize (ahhh-ah-ahhh) that you've got a pant leg tucked into your sock?

No one ever said that Flaming Lips frontman Wayne Coyne was anything other than an eccentric. Rather than a genuine wild card -- the kind of maverick who might walk around in a purple leisure suit, flip-flops and a stained camo T-shirt -- the Oklahoman offers a highly stylized concept of the absurd, on record and in his dress sense.

The Lips' sound has evolved from wonky, lo-fi psychedelia to today's slick neo-prog-rock extravaganza, and along the way Mr. Coyne has honed his dapperly quirky personal style. Today, a suavely graying mop of hair; slim-cut, shabby-chic suits; beat-up brogues and a loosely worn bow tie complete a hipster take on classic Southern gent apparel -- a sort of bohemian Colonel Sanders, if you will.

With the Flaming Lips emulating their heroes on their track-for-track cover of Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" (full title "The Flaming Lips and Stardeath and White Dwarfs With Henry Rollins and Peaches Doing The Dark Side of the Moon"), perhaps it's time to pay your own tribute to Coyne's elegantly individual wardrobe.




French Connection Parker Coldplay Cotton Suit
The name may not be right (Coldplay? Really?), but the slim cut and the casually dapper details are all present and correct in this Coyne-copyist's dream suit. ($338 from Asos.com)

Barneys New York Floral Over-the-Calf Socks (in Red)
Novelty socks are a dodgy area for dudes. You don't want to look like some sort of sad sack, office joker. That said, a flash of bold color on the ankles is a big look for summer. So pick a characterful, pricey pair, like these floral numbers from Barneys and combine them with an otherwise sharp ensemble. ($34 from Barneys.com)

Purple Kelly Paisley Silk Men's Bow Tie
Coyne's kookily classy neckwear has become his signature clothing piece. ($29 from ThomasPink.com)

Mezlan Marte
You'll have a ways to go to achieve the scruffy insouciance of Coyne's kicks. These super-suave suede shoes are a good place to start. ($289 from Zappos.com)
