re: no american man should wear jeans :

not necessarily true. jeans are kind of like an equalizer in fashion and there IS a pair for everyone out there (save for those of us who weigh 500 lbs which is just a given.) but MOST people DO NOT KNOW HOW to wear jeans properly. the thing about english fashion as opposed to american fashion is that the brits wear what they want to wear and what is suited to them, whereas americans wear what's "in style" at the time and dress for comfort, be it ugg boots or leggings or whatever.

re: denim shorts
i don't think men should wear shorts PERIOD, EVER. but denim shorts suck on men. and women should not wear shorts that extend too far beyond the crotch area..."hot pants" length only. and it goes without saying not to wear them if you're fat.
short shorts on skinny women.
no shorts on men.

other than that i don't have too many rules.

this is what i want to look like this summer

Cantankerous · 03.24.2008, 12:25 AM

those shorts would be amazing on a chick if you rolled them up and put on like an old band t shirt and a little leather jacket and some platforms.

but that is just NO.

Fuck my complete lack of Photoshop skills (or for that matter Photoshop)

Case in point: the main character on House (the TV show). The doc always looks fine in his jeans.

You really ought to be thrown into a club at 2:00 am in the middle of the east end of london where you can spot a man in his early 40's wearing a zebra-printed shirt, flares and, yes, and, a pair of snake skin boots. Really.

Oh, I went shoe shopping today - the functional, I need a work-shoe shoe shopping unfortunately. I saw the most gorgeous pair of faux-snake skin boots. Sadly, I haven't the trousers to carry them off, and they were pricier than something very pricey, but I still love them.

I'm not queer or 'owt.

I forgot to throw in the spiky-haired look that certain middle aged men think it is ok to sport with a ''fresh back from Spain'' tan. That is wrong. Oh, and twinks can't fucking dress anymore.

With those ultra-slim horn-rimmed glasses whose arms go transparent, or large gold aviator shades. Not even gays can get away with that sort of horror.

I'll offer to drag anyone who thinks that gays dress better into any random gay pub in east london. It looks like the ''let's commit a random atrocity against fashion'' contest.
