60-Second Style: Zac Efron


Mr. Efron's been in quite a few magazine covers this year, and heed: many of them aren't teenybopper rags! I guess either these publications are trying to reach to the horde of screaming girls that will no doubt pick up a copy of anything with his face on it; or Mr. Efron is trying to "grow" as an actor by taking on projects that don't conjure up images of him as Troy Bolton in the High School Musical series.

Minus objectionable hairstyling choices, Mr. Efron's quite a good clothes hanger.


Cardigan ($58) from The Gap. Like the elbow patches.
Blue shirt ($18.90) from Heritage 1981. The key to making the tops work is to make sure you don't try and match their shades. The cardigan has a hint of purple, while the shirt's just petrol blue.
Jeans ($39.50) from Uniqlo. Mr. Efron's wearing slim-to-skinny jeans in the photo. I hardly think many of the guys could pull off skinny jeans, so I picked slim jeans instead.
Studded belt ($30) from Topman. The belt in the shoot looks so boring. A few studs near the buckle adds some interest.
Sneakers ($80) from Jack Purcell / Converse. Zac Efron's barefoot in the shoot, so unless you practice barefoot running or you just plain like going barefoot and can do so where you live, add a nice pair of leather trainers as a finish.

(From now on, Dude, the Bargain Shopper will be a part of 60-Second Style. No use having multiple labels for style tips.
