Dressing Men

What is going on with men’s fashions?? EEw I hate that word, fashions. It sounds so fake and phoney.

What is THIS shit?

ACCORDING to the current fashion playbook, Thom Browne has made several crucial errors in his five years as a men’s wear designer. He has been out of step with the real world, focusing on a fastidiously tight and buttoned-up look when most designers aim to accommodate a dressed-down workplace. He has been out of step with fashion, working in fusty, old-man fabrics like gray flannel, while others are dressing men in denim, velvet and nylon.

Sounds like the latest fashions, velvet and nylon, belong in the gay book. YUCK. DISGUSTING.

:shock:

The result of all those blunders is that Thom Browne, 41, is today the most envied and influential American men’s wear designer. Five years ago, the short-jacket-and-pants silhouette he created looked sweet but goofy, a look no real man would wear. Now he has won the Council of Fashion Designers of America award as men’s wear designer of the year; the venerable Brooks Brothers has signed him up to do special collections; and his signature look is being copied, however blurrily, by more than a dozen men’s wear lines, from traditionalists like DKNY and Zegna to edge-of-fashion houses like Nom de Guerre.

:shock:

THESE outfits are envied and….influential? To who? The American Association of Steve Erckle GayBoy Lovers? UUGH.

I’m sorry. If I see a man dressed like this I will laugh and point and ridicule and HURL. Gimme some TUMS now. My tummy hurts just looking at these pictures. EEECK.

NOW this on the other hand— mmMMmm- soothes the soul here. Jeans and t shirt please, maybe a flannel shirt on top. Maybe.

    What’s with the guy in the slacks a bit short? He looks as if he’s expecting flooding in the basement!

    Yes AOW– he does look strange. BUT this is the new look for men who wear suits: These pictures of what avant and educated and successful men will look like in 2007…this is the new and popular attire.

    Gross huh? Men who dress this way look gay to me.
    A real turn off.
