I had a friend in College that looked exactly like Andrew Schulz. I swear, if only one wasn't making me laugh all the time with his wit humour and the other wasn't a NYC American with German origins, they could have been brothers or something. Weird, I know.
Everytime I see him and Akaash Singh on Flagrant I can't help but think about my college years. Probably the resemblance to my long-time classmate or that "bro" kind of humour. Whatever it is, something in their mix brings me back to that years of unadultered freedom and reckless parties that I still secretly miss a little. That's probably why "Flagrant" is my secret naughty indulgence.
An unapologetically politically incorrect podcast that, beyond the political sides, I find it enjoyable for the unbridled spirit of discussions, a fresh alternative to the regular showbiz.
The mood on Flagrant is relaxed and genuine. Andrew and Akaash don't try too hard to be likable, they seem to just have fun doing what they're doing and is refreshing to see this attitude in the middle of all the fake celebrities.
But the real reason why the show stuck on me was probably the mad fashion looks. I mean, Andrew's shirt game is over the roof! I've never seen anyone morphing from Panamense drug trafficker to Australian tourist washing on a beach with such effortless ease.
Classic Schulz. Weird and stylish. I'm taking notes for my next Spring/Summer outfit collection this year. Maybe too neat this time, he lacks some added quirckiness to the fit to make it pop more, but always excellent shirt choice.
8/10
Probably my favorite outfit. Full stop. If I have to use two adjectives they would be "bold and neat" and I just love it. The all white combination is a stylistic statement, veined by some baroque eccentricism on the sides.
9/10
Now this. I don't know what is this. Starting from the borsalino hat to that heinous striped shirt to end with the lazy denim choice. In simple words: I love it. I would never be able to sport this messy outfit with the effortless ease as Andrew, and that's why I love all of these weird deranged outfits. They are a portal to an alternative world, stylistically speaking.
8/10
Akaash always delivers. We know our guy: clean, fresh, nothing flamboyant here. Even predictable, maybe he could dare more?
6/10
Super clean look. Cool chained shirt design that I've secretly already ordered on Asos. Deep blue and kaki, you never go wrong. Summery and stylish, nothing eccentric here but it works.
7/10. Easy.
Now, this is just outrageous and I love it. It could very well be the look of an hunter posing with some wild game on the side, or some South African Boer on holiday. Either way, I just love how out of place it looks on a bling-bling podcast, this is the kind of outfit that should be declared illegal just anywhere else.
Vote: 9/10
Minimalism is the way. I like the "all black" outfit. Super clean, super minimal only with the detail of a silver pendant. Now, this is good style.
Of course he had to break all this accomplishments with a pair of offensive shoes at the end. But you know what? Not that bad, after all. You can see some good thoughts have been put in the game combination between the rim of the socks and Nike choice.
Vote: 9/10
Akaash super clean and tight as always. Jordans and ripped jeans are a safe combination valid for any season. Solid 7/10
All my vote goes to Akaash. Clean, impeccable with only the wild kick of that pattern print of tropical foliage under neon light on the shirt.
7/10 as always.
Now, the real disappointment is Andrew. A bit of a lazy choice from him with some nostalgic chessboard Vans sneakers that are not enough to lift up the room. Yes, the capri pants cut on the leg are a nice touch but don't save Andrew from a bad 4/10 this time.
