Men – Do Not Get Too Carried Away With Fashion
Written by admin on Monday, March 29th, 2010 in Attraction.
Guys, don’t get carried away with fashion. Leave it to the girls. If that sounds sexist, then so be it, but the fact is, you’re not genetically programmed for style or taste – they are!
If there is one exception to the guy’s fashion sense rule, it may be in the area of watches. Men seem to have watch fetishes in much the same way that women have shoe fetishes. Guys really identify with their watches.
A men’s sport watch says a lot about the man wearing it. Besides telling the time, it tells anybody who happens to notice it much about the wearer’s favorite sports. If he’s into water sports, it will be waterproof. If he’s not really into water sports but wants you to think he is, it will be waterproof but totally impractical. Unless he’s a millionaire, no real sailor or surfer is going to spent thousands of dollars on a sports watch. It’s too much of a risk when a cheap one will do just fine.
Now let’s look at the leather watch. These can be some of the classiest watches there are. Remarkably, most men seem to get it right when they choose their leather watches. There aren’t too many decisions to be made – you’ve got a choice between a black or brown band and a gold or silver watch face and that’s about it. Nonetheless, most men do seem to make the right choice.
Shoes are another matter altogether. There’s nothing uglier than a pair of leather brown boots, but men everywhere wear them with pride. Somehow they think they make them look macho or something. They don’t, not unless they’re actually worn for doing something macho. Going out for Sunday brunch in a pair of boots just looks stupid. End of argument!
Believe it or not, it is possible to make an even worse choice than old boots for Sunday brunch. Some men think that because it’s Sunday, they have a right to be ultra-casual and wear cheap flip-flops to a nice restaurant. Guys, your wife or girlfriend is going to die of shame if you announce your arrival with the plop! plop! of your flip flops!
We won’t even go into the matter of clothing here. It’s just lucky that most men are so conservative. If you’re a man and you blend in with your work environment, it’s much better than if you stand out. Men who decide to lash out and try something different risk losing their jobs, their friends and maybe even their wives.
You’ve only got one style option, guys: you can safely choose your own wristwatch. Other than that, leave fashion to the girls.
