POPEYE magazine is the 'Magazine for City Boys'. The founders printed this on the cover of the magazine when it debuted in 1976. What's a 'city boy'? The term doesn't appear in the dictionary and no expert panel could define it. So we felt we should explore every aspect of what this 'city boy' might be. After decades of debate, it still makes for a topic of lively discussion. It can be a style or a way of thinking. To get an idea of what makes a city boy, read POPEYE magazine.
Popeye – Issue 930: Cheap Chic
This book is about creating your own unique style of clothing. As authors Catherine and Carol explain at the start of Cheap Chic, the concept of 'cheap chic' isn't about whether something is expensive or inexpensive. Simple, functional items—like workwear, military apparel, and outdoor gear—are strong allies in building a practical wardrobe. Even if certain pieces are costly, high-quality and well-made items will be ones you won’t regret owning even a decade later. It's about putting together a smart wardrobe without wasting money or time. Moreover, the book emphasizes that personal autonomy and a healthy body—unaffected by fleeting fashion trends—are essential to enjoying a cheap chic lifestyle. This philosophy remains relevant in 2024, and perhaps even more so today. POPEYE presents this feature as a modern update to this timeless classic. We'll take a closer look through the lens of 30 'cheap chic lovers' trusted by POPEYE. In the spirit of Cheap Chic, the feature begins with 'Basics: Something Very Important.'
