Following on from my post on sexy men, I came across this article today. Couple that with Baz's latest production and I am intrigued at this latest fashion push (and fashion is not my thing (so perhaps take everything herein with a grain of salt)).
Bright pink suits are definitely not for me and I know that the right man can look uber sexy in a printed tee, jeans and kicks. A hoody can be great too - nothing like pair of sexy eyes peaking out of a hood. Boxer shorts are cool. And a nice arse in grey tracksuit pants can be pre-orgasmic. However, I must admit that a well-fitting three piece suit can be a thing of beauty. I recall my days of working in the UK and watching all the well dressed toffs. Snooty and useless but oh so easy on the eye!
To be honest, I am actually a huge fan of a dark suit and a crisp white shirt WITHOUT a tie. I know, risque, right? But the mix of formal without the restrictions of a tie is so appealing (plus, I recall my tie-wearing school days and they were not pleasant!). Also, I have a thing for a nice chest so a few open buttons is a goo-ood thing (and, if there are any men reading this, keep the hair! I want none of this hairless chest shite. In fact, manscaping should not be a thing).
In fact, that makes me feel the need to point out that there is a fine line between dapper and metrosexual. Hair product is okay. Actually, done well it can be quite delicious. Aftershave? Definitely! But eyelash curling and eye makeup (in fact any makeup) is out. And don't get me started on falsies - they do not belong on men! I don't think anyone should do the fake tan thing - male or female. Manicures and pedicures are passable as long as there is no polish. Neat facial hair is fine but facials are taking it into questionable territory. Leather jackets can be very classy but pants are really only suitable if you're riding a bike. I will tolerate a man with a scarf but it's not to be knotted intricately (unless you are Hugh Jackman in 'Australia' and it's a bandana not a scarf) Pashminas are out, as are turtle necks. Hats are hard to pull off regardless of gender; very few people can do it with success so probably best to err on the side of caution and throw it away.
My golden rule, however, is that you have to be comfortable in whatever you wear. If you cannot wear it with confidence, don't wear it (and, while naked is also a good choice, perhaps keep that to a home-based pursuit lest risk a trip in the back of a divvy van)! There is nothing sexier than a confident, intelligent and funny man.
