Old School Cool: Kangol Bucket Hat. This gentleman told me he got this hat from NYC. He keeps it looking fresh by cleaning it with a toothbrush.

World Refugee Day also brings out some fantastic (and unique) fashion in Syracuse. This year was no exception, as the soccer tournament featured a few coaches on the sidelines with a flair for style.

Jack Brown, keeping it real (cool)

Hollywood has Jack Black; Syracuse has Jack Brown (of Sophistafunk). Black is known for his fluffy comedic persona; meanwhile Brown is known as a vigorous MC who dons stylish pork pie hats on stage. Last weekend, Brown mixed up his fashion ensemble by rocking a pair of classic NIKE dunks (in Syracuse Orange, of course).

Chris Taylor (Country in the City)

Chris Taylor on the Delta Stage at The Taste of Syracuse on Saturday night.

Sammy-award winner Chris Taylor, the man with the coolest microphone this side of Paisley Park, brought some country to the city for the Taste of Syracuse on Saturday night (backed by The Custom Taylor Band). What is always amazing is to see a cool brother wearing jeans and a t-shirt, cowboy hat and boots (custom belt buckle too), serve up a country groove that has the crowds eating out of his hands.  Taylor is definitely a local music and fashion icon.
