Maybe it started with…
the skinny ties, skinny jeans, skinny lapel suits and jackets, short-waist jackets, wearing shirts that look like blouses, thong type sandals, girly-looking canvas slip on casual shoes or the use of the word “unisex” I’m not sure. All I know is the feminization of men in how they are dressing these days gives me pause for concern. It’s gotten so bad you can’t tell a female mannequin from one that’s supposed to be a male mannequin.
There once was a time when the standard size for male modeling was 40R (regular). Now the standard size and what you see in men’s fashion magazines is 36 or 38. Of course there are men who are smaller in frame, but the current look seems to be marketed for a man who is “petite.” I mean whoever thought the word “petite” would be associated with a man? And what in the world is a “Metrosexual”?
In my humble and old school opinion, men should look distinctively different from women in how and what they wear. Many young men coming up today don’t even realize that this fashion trend is not masculine. It may be “fashionable” but it is not masculine.
A wise woman recently told me she wants her man to look like a man, not like one of her girlfriends. Amen!
