Re: A Clearance Item

Many of the garments I see for sale with designs on have clearly been photographed separately and then had a design photoshopped on top. This is obvious in the more blatant examples because the design does not follow the shape of the garment. That's just blatant amateurism and really should not hap...

Re: The rise of the performative male

Unfortunately, all the article does is verify the notions I already had that, "If you're not the Marlboro Man you're a nobody." That really has to change, but I don't see that happening now in my lifetime. Things have just gotten too bad -- at least where I live.

Re: UGG boots

So I reckon that that action of Brian's, in the late eighties, to increase sales, was where this thing about them being women’s boots originated. It also very noticeably damaged the global aesthetic by driving "unisex" further into the "butching up" of women. It should be consid...

Re: Cant get enough of Men's Skirts

It's likely worth recalling that for many (if not most) MIS == TV/T*, full stop. So the deck is stacked against us from the get-go. Note that there is no "right way" nor "wrong way" for a man to wear a skirt. However, there are some moderators to behaviours that can be used. 1) D...

Re: Defined by Kids

As is usually the case. the Devil here lurks in the details -- and in this case that detail is the precise definition of "tube". If one is to use the full definition as given by geometry, then most skirts would not be considered purely cylindrical [0] (e.g "tube" shaped) as they ...

Re: Men in skirts in movies and TV

I just tried "the link" and the Youtube video is no longer available. :( "The Link" didn't 'fail', the video was pulled. I could not care less what the reason for the failure was, the fact that it was (1) clickbait and (2) posted completely without context (thus demanding that i...

"Another failed link"? Then stop posting them; they add nothing to the discussion.

Re: Necklace as... neck tie?

[...] Glimpsed around the neck, appears to be a simple chain necklace. This. Is. Not. News. It's been going on since antiquity and can be proved up by things like examining grave-sites. I'm not quite ready for the grave yet, but I've been wearing chains and pendants for a good half-century. So, NOT...

Re: Men's Skort - at Marks and Spencer!!!

I think perhaps they are scared Mouse, otherwise they might do something meaningful like saying "Clothes are for everyone, so we at M&S will no longer be segregating clothes by sex". That might affect their brand by altering public perception and get them accused of being woke. This i...

Re: Article on de-gendering fashion

I've actually pretty much given up on dressing the part of the peacock as I was starting to get a fair amount of pushback about it -- even from friends (who should have known better). I worry now about getting picked up off the street for being a perceived threat and disappeared off into some (othe...

Re: Article on de-gendering fashion

This idea that men and women are different body shapes is not really true. Yes, women classically have the “hourglass” body shape, but the reality? Women come in all different shapes and sizes. There is even variations within men as well. The simple truth is that clothes should be sold by body shap...

Re: Article on de-gendering fashion

"...people who don't fit the norm..." Such people may be find a superficial tolerance for their presence. (And don't expect success in romantic relationships). Without their strange choices being accepted as mainstream. At best, such a person may have a status as an eccentric; not harasse...

Re: Rewriting the rules for menswear – new wearable skirts for men

I also agree with Stevie on this, and it's worth noting that freedom implies the risk of goofing from time to time on experiments. This is to be expected and must be accepted as one of the risks. Note that the risk is one of the challenges and draws to the notion. The world is not meant to be a soft...
