Popeye #936 Playful

POPEYE magazine is the 'Magazine for City Boys'. The founders printed this on the cover of the magazine when it debuted in 1976. What's a 'city boy'? The term doesn't appear in the dictionary and no expert panel could define it. So we felt we should explore every aspect of what this 'city boy' might be. After decades of debate, it still makes for a topic of lively discussion. It can be a style or a way of thinking. To get an idea of what makes a city boy, read POPEYE magazine.

Popeye – Issue 936: Playful

The joy of fashion lies in the accumulation of small details. For instance, the subtle glimpse of a shirt peeking out from beneath a knit sweater, or a white T-shirt visible at the neckline of a sweatshirt; the precise cuffing of pant hems; or the harmonious pairing of a short’s material and color with your socks. The satisfaction of aligning these details with your personal style, achieving a perfect fit, is truly exceptional. The difference between stylish and less stylish individuals often comes down to such meticulous details. This spring, the keyword for our fashion feature is 'PLAYFUL'.
Venture one or two steps beyond your usual style and embrace vibrant colors you’ve never explored before, unique patterns and shapes, creative material combinations, and unconventional size balances. Breaking away from your routine style can be surprisingly refreshing, revealing a new side of yourself.
