Trends Men Detest
Yesterday on Yahoo I notice an article titled "Why do men hate these popular trends women love?".
Here are the hated trends along with my thoughts:
1. Ugg boots. Probably one of my least favorite types of footwear along with slouchy boots and white athletic sneakers.
2. Oversized sunglasses. Another hated trend that I can agree with. Portland is infested with girls who look like bugs in their oversize 70's/80's mom sunglasses.
3. Jumpsuits. A tricky look to pull off, only to be worn by tall skinny model types.
4. Red lipstick. Being an ardent fan and daily wearer of red lipstick, I would have to disagree with this one. Red lipstick can really pull together an ensemble and give a certain panache to one's look. Plus, my red lipstick certainly never hurt my love life.
5. Harem pants. A super tricky look to pull off, only to be worn by tall skinny model types.
6. Socks with sandals. Not a good look on a man or a woman.
One of my most hated trends I found missing from the list, I don't even know if you can call it a fashion trend or not because it is something that unfashionable women seem to wear, pajama pants in public. Cheap pajama pants should not be seen outside of your home! I must confess to wearing Men's pajama shirts a la It Happened One Night...
when I was in my late teens- but, you have to admit those have a certain allure. So, what type of pajamas do I think are okay to be worn in public? I envision silks and satins, take for instance these beauties...
1940's rose satin lounging pajamas.
Measurements are: 34" Chest, 27" Waist and 36" Hips
You can purchase these pajamas for $125- over at Yum Yum Vintage
Wow those satin pajamas are simply AMAZING, I would love to cuddle up in those.
Totally agree with ya there on Uggs, I hate them and will never own a pair, they are so hideous. Large sunglasses I think only work on some people, if a person follows a retro/vintage aesthetic, to me it's totally fine, I have several pairs that belonged to my aunt from the 70s and I wear them just out of remembrance for her if anything. I own a couple pairs of harem pants, but the difference is that I actually got them in a Marrakesh souk, so they are authentic. :)
Deja, Sentimental reasons for wearing something is most definitely understandable. It's nice to have things that remind you of someone that you love! -Lulu
