SJO: Mapping Fashion and Masculinities in the Costa Rican Capital

This article is a descriptive mapping of the Costa Rican capital, San José. I discuss the different ecologies of men’s fashion as produced by the city, emphasizing how the physical landscape of the city informs, and perhaps defines, the sartorial choices of the men that inhabit it. The resulting range of performed masculinities reflects the relationships established between men and their near environment, primarily their clothes and the spaces they occupy in San José.
