Men have been dressing way better recently, right? I don’t
know, maybe. People still wear Jets hoodies at the bars I go to but sometimes I
see a guy wearing a blazer and jeans or maybe even a tie and shit, and I, like,
totally swoon, right?
Where did this come from? How can I explain this phenomenon?
It’s probably because women are earning more money so men have to gussy up a
bit. I took a feminist studies course one semester so I’m an expert about
changing gender identities. Yeah, that’s totally it. Woman power is causing men
to up their game and not look like a goat vomited up a sweater. Once one guy
discovered that wearing classy, Paul Newman-esque, things, then everyone
realized it works. Guys think with their dicks so totally.
Why do #menswear writers make rules lists? I just stumbled upon #menswear blogs so I'm an expert now. Don’t they know
that everything is subjective except for the things that I don’t want to be
subjective? Here I say, “something really misinformed about the menswear
industry.”
Men want to dress well because they’re all fuckin’
conformists. Yep, that’s it. You all wear those ties and jackets and boots and
look like a clone and I hate it. I wish everyone dressed grunge because that’s
how I dress and I want to be able to say, “I dressed grunge but now I dress
like I’m from suburban Calgary and need to wear a parka everywhere because
everyone dresses grunge now.”
Something provocative and obviously wrong to drive pageviews
from #menswear acolytes leaving comments after a couple people link this
article on their twitter and a Valet mention.
A run on sentence about socks.
Men dress well now because they want to be their grandfathers.
This is it. I need to make statements like this because it was what
I was trained to do. Make conclusions. Consider but discard other formulas. Let
us simplify things because this post would be far too long. #menswear identity
can be summed up in a shitty internet post. Humanity can be summed up in a
shitty internet post. Do I get free coffee and maybe a daily column now?
If I'm wrong it doesn't matter because #menswear is a conversation we need to be having. Communication breaks down barriers. Just to show you that I'm right.
LEAVE A COMMENT BELOW AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK BECAUSE WERE HAVING A CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS. COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS TO YOUR FRIENDS, I NEED PAGEVIEWS.
