While personal style may be difficult to define, it’s easy to recognize. The recipe is elusive (one part confidence, one part taste, one part shoes :), but, in Santa Barbara, the examples are not.

<p>No fear here! Who needs a shirt when you're sporting ink like that? Double points for the jacket and Duckie-inspired wingtips.</p>
