Blue Collar Chic

Shaved head, goatee, tattoo, piercing - or some combination thereof. An urban trend ironically called edgy. Might have been edgy in the late 90s, now it's just a tired, ubiquitous trend. Also so: propped-up & revolving baseball caps. Also see: white men trying to look like Latino prisoners because being white is seen as less masculine these days.

Wait, is that Ben? When did he turn into a blue-collar Mexican?
When Latinos came in style, he died his hair black and got a tattoo to appeal to them. Thinks Blue Collar Chic makes him more masculine and less white.

Oh. Has be bought a pick-up truck yet?

"Did you see that skinny dude with the bad tats and the trucker hat? He's so blue-collar chic."

"Where'd you get those awesome 'Dickies'?" "Urban Outfitters."
