12 Style Tips You Can Learn From Floridians

Florida's The Villages isn't just a retirement community, it's a nerve center for skate park fashion. Tyler the Creator is responsible for bringing knee high socks to detention halls throughout America, but the look's been a fairway staple on the Nancy Lopez Legacy Course since before he was born. You have to give credit where it's due. When it comes to jacked up socks, canvas sneakers and dolphin shorts, the 18th green at Tierra Del Sol is years ahead of Lollapalooza's main stage.

Kanye West gets a lot of creative credit for designing the Air Yeezy. But his supposed concept has been a linchpin at the Kennedy Space Center since 1958. Before you stroke Nike's Eric Avar or Jeremy Scott for being at the forefront of sneaker design, give some love to the Cape Canaveral astrophysicists that they rip off so blatantly.

Ladies love spontaneity and excitement. So, we're not surprised to see the whiskey-drunk-degenerate-with-prison-tats look transcend the student parking lot at Tallahassee Community College. If you have goofy hair, some ratchet ink work, and a propensity towards bar fights, you're just a dance class and Swizz Beatz collab away from landing Rihanna.

Whether you're yachting in the South of France or funneling Coors Light on the shores of Panama City Beach, no waterside ensemble is complete without a cold beverage accessory. Don't over think it either, fancy pants. If you're walking through Fort Myers with a craft cocktail, you're lible to get sand kicked in your face by a blacked out spring breaker. Real talk.

Donning leather pants is the most powerful fashion statement one can make. It's equal parts motorcycle safety, unabashed confidence and a senseless affront to innocent livestock. Fuck the world. Fuck cows. Damn, I look good. Jim Morrison (The Doors front man and proud Floridian) chaffed his way through the '60s rock scene in a set of trademark, leather trousers. Purveyors of talcum powder can thank "The Lizard King" for blazing a trail in pop culture for hide adoring celebrities and aggressive sexual fetishists.

Accessorizing with a head dress is an admiring and totally fashionable way to honor our country's Native American heritage. As an added bonus, it also serves as an inconspicuous means of sneaking fifths of Rumple Minze into Bobby Bowden Stadium. While Tribal pattern snapbacks and Navajo print varsities are the stuff Kith collaborations are made of, Seminole-themed garb is just a rapper cosign away from being a huge trend in 2013.

Miami's standard issue police uniform consists of an Armani jacket, linen pants, and a pair of slip-on loafers. Nothing intimidates cocaine smugglers and violent factions of the T.N.S. Outlaws quite like Italian sport coats and a soft pastel color scheme. More than two decades after turning in their badges, the style of Miami Vice's James "Sonny" Crockett and Ricardo Tubbs continues to reverberate throughout Hollywood and in the palatial walk-in closets of Saudi oil princes.

Listen kids, drugs are not cool. But appearing to have a recreational bath salts addiction is actually pretty stylish. Kristen Stewart looks as though she's 48 hours into a heroin withdrawal and Ke$ha's whole persona seems to have been lifted directly from rerun episodes of Cops: Jacksonville. Bottom line, the tweaker look has range. If you're trying to win back a love scorned Robert Pattinson, or just want to look cool while fighting off cops with a shattered bottle of Wild Turkey—you can't go wrong with the street style cues of Duval Country trailer parks.
