Marjorie, would you please get in through your pretty little head that Real Men do not go around worrying what their shoes look like or if their sweater matches their pants. Real Men don't wear even sweathers. Real Men eat your metrosexuals for breakfast, then crap them out sometime before lunch.

There is nothing more pathetic than a man who cares about being "fashionable." Nothing.

Oh Kevin, how I love these exchanges. Tell me, what are you wearing?

Nothing. At all.

He's probably wearing a sweater made out of his own chest hair. What a loser.

I would argue that someone that lectures people on being a "Real Man" by posting self-righteous crap on the internet all day is a far and away more pathetic than someone who matches his clothes.

Kevin,

Real men get laid.

And I am willing to wager, as a man who shops in stores that DON'T start with the word Fred, I get laid quite a bit more often than you. Why don't the two of us walk into a bar together tonight and see which one winds up having a woman actually talk to him!

Real men match their belts!

Cheers
Jeremy

kevin is hilarious.

i love how he paints everyone as one-dimensional.

keep up the good work, old wise one.

and, damn, those are some sharp-ass suits.

Piping-- not edging.... I've noticed you left Thom Browne out, though your choices have a lot of stylistic similarities- save the inseam that is. He's had the skinny-tie prep school (infantile) aesthetic from the beginning.

And Kevin- the number of men who care about what they're wearing and try to in fact match etc. is probably about the same as the number of men who choose to bathe and wear deodorant. My younger brother is 22 year old, frames houses during the week and salmon fishes on the weekends- and he spends more money on clothing and shoes than I do, making interesting and even decorative clothing decisions. And to save you the trouble of suggesting: he's not gay or a metrosexual.

I dunno about those gloves, though.

They are a very blatant violation of what is the one of the most important rules of men's fashion.

That shit's gotta be PRACTICAL/MANLY.

Like... you have to be able to change a flat tire, eat a turkey leg... You know... MANLY shit, while wearing your getup.

You need to be able to look at your clothes and when asked about them... you need to be able to be like "Oh... These old things? Yeah... it's just a little somethin' somethin' I put together."

The silver gloves make it too obvious. They're a little feminine... which makes them "unmanly"..

Being a high fashion man is alllll good... but you have to be a man about that shit.

Right? Not like "Oh no! Not on my pretty gloves!"

Too obvious. Classic black would have been a better play. Men need to be able to be men at the drop of a hat. Not like... right after you take off your pwetty ickle glovesie wovsies.

I liked the bowler hats from yesterday better. But it's so hard to wear a bowler hat these days, without looking like Thomas Crown.

The over-sized sweater I don't like.

Word, I dislike the gloves too.

I DO like Thom Browne. He's very influential right now, which makes him kind of an elephant in the room I suppose.

So there. I like Thom Browne.

PDXmen, studied slackarity is sad. WTF, this aint trustifarian Will'burg whereits supposedly anticrime strategy! But the distance between that and runways (anywhere) is waybiga step. Start a fashionsnap from the streets with critique by someone with cred. Could do it in this blog. Dressing bands decently would help too. Even just house parties where dress up is the message rather than dress down.

What the hell? Can you repeat that?

While I agree dressing up is great, mandadting dressing up is boring. Stifling people's creativity with their clothing options is not neccessary. I actually get far more intrigued seeing the 4 of 10 who select a unique casual (or dressy, whatever they choose)look for a party than going to a cocktail party where the expectation is that everyone attending where a dress or a suit. It looks like a funeral more than half the time.

But hey, that's just me.
