Apparently - Gender fluid fashion elevates men's looks!

Let's face it. These celebrities get paid for wearing outlandish things. That's why they do it. !!!

OMG cropped trousers, they look more like "ankle swingers"

I did wear both hot pants & mini micro skirts in my teens & 20s, I was slim with very good, long legs. Sadly age has caught up with me

Late DH would have been rolling round on the floor laughing, he was more a jeans & T-shirt man

or sowing! Neither particularly successful.

Oh yes, g65, I regularly remember my Mum expressing a combination wonder/doubt that I was going out in 'that'. She was never dogmatic but worked hard at sewing doubt in my mind.

Anyone else with their mothers' comments ringing in their ears from when we were young?

In 1975 or thereabouts I bought a new summer party dress: cream Indian cotton with brown crotched inserts. It was full length and very, very fashionable. I made the mistake of packing it when I went home to my parents in the summer holidays. My mother said, "What a nice nightie!" when she saw it. I was mortified, and she was shocked that I had gone to a party "dressed like that!"

Fashion, just remember some of the things we have worn over the years. With a plain good cut suit they may not have made the headlines,

If you want to see people wearing 'odd' flamboyant, strange modes of dress, come to Brighton, anything goes here. You always know the locals as we don't take any notice, if people are pointing, staring you know they are visitors to the City.

Okay for the entertainment business to turn up wearing ridiculous clothing but even they don't wear flamboyant clothing regularly. What I can never figure out is why so many females especially media/pop world wear such skimpy, revealing outfits yet males don't turn up wearing similar outfits eg tiny shorts, budgie smugglers, no shirts, leotard type outfits. I just cannot get my head round why females dress like they do when performing other than to detract from their terrible performance.

I'm another who gets pleasure from the sight of a 'well turned out' male. This is partly my age, I guess, and partly a military background. What I like is colourful but toning with maximum attention to shining shoe, clean shaven and cared for fingernails. One of my sons wears the same outfit all the time. The other clean but, in my opinion, somewhat scruffy. Haven't I done well! Love them both to distraction. Oh aye..........

Perfect! Just the thing for that 'vital' job interview.

You would get the job too, looking like that, because it demonstrates that you must have determination and guts just to step out the front door.

Hoots!

I like the look of narrow trousers and no socks. My grandson looks really good that way...but it's for the young.

I am just sitting here trying to imagine DH in the bondage strap braces with underpants over his suit jacket. I think I’ll skip breakfast! He knows I have an absolute thing for good formal tailoring, but we had a conversation while sitting in GS’s school car park on Monday when a teacher came out wearing a three piece suit with a frill of shirt sticking out between the bottom of his straight edge waistcoat and a thick black belt that was holding up his trousers. I muttered. DH said “maybe he likes it that way. He wouldn’t poke his head through the car window and criticise what you wear!” In other words, if they want to look like **’s, let them!

NanaandGrampy - Much better! I just find the short trouser look ever so slightly comedic! MissAdventure - I suppose it wouldn't do if we all liked the same thing! Maybe I just need to get used to it! Its quite sexist really, making fun of the leg length. Women are at liberty to wear whatever length we like, without anyone giving us a second glance!

Lol no Helenonotion . And I’m with you on the whole lack of socks !!

I was thinking more this......

I quite like that look.

NanaandGrampy, I suspect you don't mean this style of well cut suit? I think its been a little too well cut on the leg! I cannot keep a straight face when I see a man wearing a suit like this and yes there are many nowadays! Mainly quite young men, thankfully! I'm not sure which is worse, The lack of socks or the cropped trousers!

Would that be a reference to a BDSM harness, on the second guy?
I have no problem with flamboyant clothes on anyone who wants to wear them. The more the merrier.
(Less keen on BDSM stuff, tho.)

If you bought him Mawbroon's outfit he might start buying his own Teetime!!

The 'beautiful people' have always pushed the boundaries of taste and style and they probably get these clothes loaned to them. DH is a very conservative dresser always to be found in black trousers and shirts if not prompted to find another shirt. If I didn't buy his clothes he would be naked.

My dear late husband would have laughed his socks off at these. Then add that he'd rather stick pins under his eyes than wear them.

I remember posting this last year I think.
Oo la la!

On second thoughts , that second one looks like he’s wearing reins you used to see on toddlers ?

He’s young but not that young lol

The second one lost me with the no sock look !! Lol

I don’t mind a bit of flamboyance but these made me giggle - not the effect they intended I suspect ! ???
