What has happened to men?

Edrof · 8 Nov 2010 at 19:18

I'm 30 now, so admittedly I'm a tad out of touch with fashion but what the Hell is going on with men's clothing these days? Can it get any more feminine?

I was sent an email from H&M with winter style guides in it. It's actually recommending a proper hand bag:

I doubt many men agree with that magazine.

Guy in the pic looks like a paedo-flasher (almost moustache and trench-coat... not good).

As Begbie said, GAY.

Man bag.

The man bag is clearly 'a must'. I'm more concerned about that jacket/belt combination. Shocking. :eek:

Metrosexual.

A man bag to me is a bag I carry when I need to have my arms free for various things (killing, wenching, drinking etc) but also need to transport manly items (chainsaw, minigun, 100lb steak sandwich).

THAT is a woman's bag :S

Some are gay, quite a few are tuning gay and the rest of us are still men.

Totally agree. I was in town looking for a new jacket at the weekend and it was all a tad girly tbh.

Remember when you were a teenager and your parents didn't 'get' what you wore because they were out of touch.

That's me, that is

I think they need to watch James May's man lab.

It's not just that, though. It's that (young) men are wearing women's clothes. What's next? Manpons?

H&M's men's collection has always been for the more feminine man. Since when is this a surprise? :confused:

Homogay.

Seriously though, H&M's mens clothing seems a little androgynous these days.
