“Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.”
-Jack Kerouac
Read the story of a guy who expressed himself by all means possible, matching his life to his appearance and making the best out of this world view. Jack Kerouac was one of the founders of the Beat Generation. A great article from The Eye Of Faith!
Every time style blogs or fashion mags bring up Jack Kerouac, they can’t seem to go past exploring his style choices with completely superficial mindsets. What would Jack Kerouac wear today? Where would he shop? Here’s where, and how?! Ta DA! NOTHING.

I never saw jack as a style icon, but this is an interesting angle..
Glad you are open to the idea. One of our mottos is “finding elegance everywhere” – this is why we re-published the article!
Jack was in some ways a style icon. However, I think we can say that his poetry was better than his style!
Indeed, he is a literary icon above everything!
