1. A men's style of dress that strikes a balance between casual and dressy and is decidedly classic, understated and non-trendy. It usually includes some combination of the following:
- a tweed, houndstooth or camelhair jacket; a long raincoat worn over one of the former
- a chunky wool sweater, preferably made in the british isles
- a wool turtleneck
- plaid slacks, corduroy pants, jeans
- dress shoes or boots
Can be complimented by glasses and/or a restrained jewfro. One does not need to be a professor to embrace this style, and it is usually more effective in garnering compliments if worn by someone who is not a professor. The look is an homage to Donald Sutherland's style in many of his 70s film roles including Klute and Don't Look Back.

Chad loves Becky's wook Chic style, as he can spend more of his money on drugs and less on materials for Becky to make her clothes

Get the Wook chic mug.Attire that is chic and stylish, yet distinctly Texan. Ladies can comply with a "Texas chic" dress code simply by wearing cowboy boots (pointed or snip-toe, not ropers) with jeans, a denim skirt, a short or long skirt, or dress. The top can be anything stylish, even a nice tshirt. Jewelry can be western style silver and turquoise, gold or pearls. Men, wear boots and jeans with an oxford shirt (plain, subtly plaid or striped) and skip the "Rhinestone Cowboy" type button-down shirt and huge rodeo belt buckle. Pull-on Red Wing work boots (aka frat boy boots) or cowboy boots can be worn by men. Cowboy hats are optional, depending on the event. If it's a ranch party, wearing a hat is okay. If it's a polo match, probably not. (And FYI, Texans call "cowboy boots" just "boots". )
The rehearsal dinner called for Texas chic, so I wore my boots with a denim dress and braided leather belt.

Key accessiories that are associated with hobo-chic are fingerless gloves, any hobo-chic practisioner should have these on their person at all times and are pivotal to the look.
Hobo-chic is completely adverse to the hobo look characterised by a mizzle in which they will try to look their best, whilst still failing to look any better than a hobo.
A hobo-chic advocate won't try to look good, but will still pull it off.
