I don't know what it is about a male frame draped in certain clothing that makes me go weak at the knees. I am attempting to describe in text the feeling I get when a well dressed man walks past me on the street without sounding like a complete nutcase but I can't seem to manage it. It's like I fall in love for that moment with the clothing, I mean yes it helps if I find the man in the clothing attractive (maybe he is sporting a beard?!) but it's not the face or the personality that's selling it to me- it's the fabric items of clothing... Is that weird?
So its that time of year again in NY (oh dear)- Fashion week. But not only fashion week its fashion week in the Winter. This just adds fuel to the fire. Not only will male frames be draped appropriately in luxurious fabric in perfect silhouettes, but hats are being worn with glasses and scarves with tailored suits…. HELP ME.
I realise in this post I sound like a deranged singleton but I really can't help it, is it my hormones?… probably or do I have a superior desire for menswear thats at risk of making itself known the next time a Wang clad male walks past me in the street.
ADVICE FOR MEN- You may not be able to change the shape and look of your face (sorry) BUT you can buy yourself a Pea coat. It's most definitely the most important item of your wardrobe this Winter- and if your pennies stretch buy yourself a beanie hat to make the ladies hearts sing a bit more.
