What men really think of spring '09 fashion trends

 

Has your dad, boyfriend, or brother ever questioned what you were wearing?  Let's face it-- sometimes those of the male species just don't get fashion.

But, it doesn't really matter.  After all, we're not really dressing for them.

Still, it's interesting to hear their commentary on our clothing choices.

I stumbled upon this hilarious article written from a man's perspective on Ridiculous Women's Spring '09 Fashion Trends at Asylum.  While I definitely wear most of the things that the writer complains about, it's still pretty funny to hear what he has to say.

Here are some of his complaints:

       1.  Jumpsuits-- "At best you look like a sexy toddler, at worst like a frumpy 1970's mom."

                  PROVE HIM WRONG WITH:    

                                                                    Ali Ro Silk Printed Jumpsuit, $150

        2.  Fringe-- "[They] give off a 'Best Little Whorehouse in Texas' vibe."

                  PROVE HIM WRONG WITH:  

                                                                 Leather High Waisted Shorts, $9.99

         3.  Neon-- "No one's complexion is complemented by radioactive green."

                  PROVE HIM WRONG WITH:  

                                                                Vintage Body Con Dress, $11.50

          4.  Boyfriend Jeans-- "Baggy jeans just say, 'I've given up on life.'"

                   PROVE HIM WRONG WITH:  

                                                Relaxed Jean in destructed wash, $59.50

            5.  Harem Pants-- "It looks like the wearer has had an accident."

                   PROVE HIM WRONG WITH:  

                                                           Vintage Zara Drop-Crotch Pants, $63.27

 

In the end, the only thing that matters is if YOU like what you're wearing.  So the next time he says, "Are you really going to wear that?", ignore it (or slap him upside the head).
