My wife criticizes my clothing choices on a daily basis. She knows I do not even make choices with my clothing, I wear what is due next and if it clashes or doesn't match or fit with the other parts, what do I care? Today I am wearing a pair of shorts with horizontal stripes. I paired it with a collared shirt with vertical stripes. I topped it off with a pair of sneakers and tube socks, nicely pulled up to the bottom of my calves.
No one has seen me today, so I have not heard anything about my clothing choices. When my wife sees me later I have no doubt she will identify my clothing choices violate some fashion principal. The thing is, I do not care what a bunch of insanely rich women and gay men who design weird clothes have to say about fashion, especially when it comes to straight dudes.
Have you seen what these fashion icons put on their models? Their opinion about fashion should not be entertained at all. They have serious problems and demonstrably questionable fashion sense. Besides their obvious design weirdness, lets just address the fact women and gay men seem to be the deciding people on what is and is not fashionable.
- What does a woman know about men's wear? Do they have testicles they need to keep comfortable? Do they have the male physique and know what it feels like as clothes cover our arms, shoulders, hips, calves and chests? Not to mention our necks which regularly exceed the opening of buttoned up shirts. Women have no idea what it feels like to be a man and wear clothes. If they did they would not make mens clothes that fit like lesbian outerwear and look the same.
- What does a gay dude know about dressing and living like a straight man. I suspect they spend all of their time peacocking and preening to attract other men, so they design clothes that accomplish that. Real men do not want to wear flesh pants and ball crushing pants. Nor do we want to wear tight shirts that rub our arm pits and nipples and cannot be buttoned up because they are designed to titilate gay dudes. No straight guy should take dressing advice from a gay dude who lacks the sense of what clothes are for and sees them as some kind of pre-mating ritual for showing off the man body.
Neither women nor gay men should have anything to say about what straight dudes wear and what is fashionable. You have opinions about stripes and colors and what goes together and what doesn't? Keep it to yourself. I dont care. I and I figure most every other normal dude wants clothes that fit, without being tight, and that keep them warm or cool, depending on the season. Normal dudes do not get involved in color schemes and design. We want functional clothes and woman and gay dudes to stay out of our closets.
