I have so much amazing fashion sense that I can pull off anything. This installment is on how to be totally gangsta. There's no one who can teach this one better than me. The first thing you have to know about the gangsta look is this: Baggy is everything.
When choosing your outfit, you want a pant with plenty of room. If you're not sure if it's roomy enough, a good test is the "Run for your life" trial. Sprint down the sidewalk as though a gang member is chasing you. If you and your pants make it to the corner at the same time, they're too small.
Strike a pose. You've got to move in your clothes. You have to look bad and fashionable at the same time. Somehow. Make sure that, no matter what awkward sign you make, your shirt will hang off of you, disguising any body shape or concealed weaponry.
Thirdly, and probably most importantly, sport your colors. As I'm sure you've noticed, this ensemble is a yellow and dark blue theme, with highlights of red and green.
You can see here both the bagginess of the pant leg and the dark blue with yellow highlighting it. You can also see the footwear, or lack thereof. As mentioned in the first Outfit post, barefoot is the height of in. Just because you're gangsta doesn't mean that you shouldn't make a dramatic statement.
The shirt is also important. Quidditch, people. Nothing, and I really mean nothing, says gangsta like sporting your quidditch pride. In this particular case, the colors of blue and yellow were chosen specifically in support of Ravenclaw house.
Any fashion discussion would be incomplete without a segment on accessories. There are two particular accessories that no gangsta can be without. First, the hat. Not forward, and not backward. Not even sideways. 67 degrees. This is halfway between backwards and sideways. The angle is crucial. Any true gangsta can spot a wannabe from the hat angle.
Second, the gun. learn to sport it just right. I really don't think I can say more.
Once again we come to the end of another fashion lesson. Just follow the tips and you can't go wrong.

(I almost wet myself laughing at this)
I rest easy at night knowing that if I'm ever in a fashion bind, you'll always be there to save me.
