In this column's past, Critical Mass immersed itself in one neighborhood each week and found its most stylish inhabitants. We're switching things up. Now, this will be a space for us to find fashionable folk all across the city. But we're still keeping the hood theme ' kinda, sorta ' by asking our subjects where they're from and trying to glean which trends are specific to which neighborhoods.
One of the greatest skills a Philadelphian can have is know how to stay stylish despite the freezing cold weather. These winter fashion pros knew just how to spice up pea coats with cute accessories and layer it up with amazing vintage finds. Last week we spotted possibly the most stylish girl in Philly. This week we might have found the most stylish dude, 32-year-old Joseph P. How could any girl resist a guy who knows his vintage?

This thrift store fan scored a '50s varsity letterman jacket for only four bucks at Village Thrift in Kensington. 'Now everyone is going to go there and buy up all the good stuff,' he says.

Neighborhood: East Oak Lane
This chic lady loves Aldo and H&M. She got this outfit inspiration from a preview for Tabitha's Salon Takeover when she saw Tabitha rocking a black turtleneck and skirt combo with a gold belt and thought, 'I'll try that on Wednesday.'

Neighborhood: Chinatown
This fashion and music editor knows how to milk her job's perks by scoring sweet designer goods. 'When I represent an artist they usually do something to thank me,' she says. A Fendi bag sure is a nice thank-you gift.
I think Joseph P's sweater is from the soon-to-be-closed Cardinal Dougherty High School. Super cool!
