Leather vest on top of nylon (that won’t be suffocating. No, not at all), shorts that are “on-trend” (read: embarrassing), Ronald McDonald line of shoes for Kenzo and the Bustle description that basically says “this is too ridiculous to be wearable, but it stands out, and is thus “on-trend” (see what I did there). And people wonder why guys stick to their old Levi’s. Because when they pick up a magazine, they get stuff like this.
leather vest on top of nylon? just cant see my boyfriend wearing any combination of these looks. why no attention to a man’s accessories? my bf loves his IPAD Messenger bag from RADBLACK. Great style, trendy and great pricing.
For the guys out there, I do feel for ya. There’s nothing like a pair of Levis, a crisp white shirt, and maybe a blazer. It’s classic, simple, and doesn’t make dudes look like they were “forced” to wear it simply because they saw it on a runway.
Leather vest on top of nylon (that won’t be suffocating. No, not at all),?People ..it’s a runway show not to betaken literally .you pull pieces not the full outfit unless of course you live in WAWA and/or have no sense of style ( read “style…not ‘fashion’)
