Fashion Faux Pas

Is that what it is? Metrosexual...guess I'm not one after all.
 
 Seriously though Rhett, I see it all the time now. Admittedly it's the 18-22 age group, but if a group of say, 6 lads meet they all go round and hug each other.

  One more thing...what's with this new trend of blokes hugging each other all the time? You know like girls do when they meet.
 
 Is America a nation full of wuss... oh, never mind

maybe they should start doing like the gay bears do and sniffing each others' pits

Probably gives evidence to the claim that my brother once made...he thought over 50% of the male population in DC was gay.

  Ok ladies, enough already with the big tinted sunglasses and sandals with the long straps.  

What are the sandles with the long straps?  Ankle straps? [/b]

the ones with the straps that wrap up your legs...the wash post did a little article about them in the Sunday Source section a couple weekends ago...come to think of it, they just did a peice on Rhett's fave sunglasses this past weekend [/b]

those shoes are the ugliest things i have ever seen. you aren't a ballerina, and those straps pinch your fat and make you look uglier than you already are. ugh.

Do you mean those large frames sunglasses that look like something from that 70's show?
 
 Actually if a bloke is dressed like that, I think it can look okay as long as he has "that look" himself, with the hair do and all, and there's not a group of them..Most look like the hipster morons but once in a while it looks good on the 30-35 age bloke. The retro look doesn't quite come off as good on the ladies though.

Here's another;
 
 Why is it hairstylists who work in the overpriced pretentious places have the worst haircuts you've ever seen in your life?

    And men, cut the label off of the blazer sleeve. We the general public are not going to get all excited when we see that label on the outter sleeve and say "Wow, he saved up a pretty penny to buy himself a plaid tweed Polo Ralph Lauren blazer to wear on a hot summer day in July." No, we're going to say, "What a fucking dork."

Who on earth actually does this? Judging from the people you hear / see on the street, I am in all the wrong places, and missing out on all sorts of funny shit.

I've seen it once on an elderly bloke that came in the showroom. I assumed he forgot to cut it off. Who knew he was a trend-setter?

I saw that on a long lovely black wool coat this winter. The thing is the little white "AnnTaylor" or whoever label was about a grungy as you can imagine wool sleeves getting. VERY impressive.
 
 And with the guys it's an *every day* thing. Please, dude, let me take off my shoes so you can see the label (never mind the smell). Or maybe I'll iron dresses to make sure the back-of-the-neck label flips up...
