This has gone somewhere pretty far. Men’s fashion has. So, so far, so far that it almost touches women’s fashion and in attempting to grab it by the voluminous dresses or, at least, touch the heal of the women’s fashion, it falls. It’s not a tragic fall, however. It’s a kid’s fall, hampering, getting up and back on the race lane again.

And that is good. Great. It means fashion for men is growing and we might have to deal with its puberty any time now. What? You know what. You’d visualised it already. Especially if you have an Instagram account and even if you’re not (supposedly) so interested in men’s fashion, I’m sure you can no longer ignore it.

This is not about the fact that I am not interested in it. I am! In men more than in men’s fashion. I could explain this just by saying that, to me, coloured men’s pants and super coloured ties or bow-ties matching the socks when wearing a suit (or jumpsuit!) is a total turn off. Not that everything a man wears should be a turn on, then what would this world be turning into? Love. I would say. Ha. Ha. Ha.

To extend the answer (as if, presumably, you’d asked me a question), I would say that when a man is trying too hard (stylistically, otherwise nothing wrong with a man trying too hard, arguably, I know, I know), it’s similar to a woman trying too hard. In any way.

What’s wrong in trying too hard? Hm. I think it takes part of yourself, the part that wanted so much to wear a bandage dress that it just makes you act so differently from your naturally wearing a pajama at home persona.

So now what? Should we all wear pajamas only? No, but acting as if we wear one, at all times, is the key to someone’s personality and, frankly, personality is what turns me on. And this does not mean, in any way, that I don’t like men’s fashion. I love men just as much as I love women, so I love everything about them. Fashion, too.

And I love some good fitted (depending on the silhouette) trousers or jeans on a man. A perfectly tailored suit. White crisp shirt. Clean hair. Teeth. Hands. A powerful blouse. A flattering print on a sweatshirt. Or jacket. A “hugable” jacket. A super worn (as in many, many times, not dirty duh) t-shirt. A t-shirt you (his better half), “accidentally“, slept in once. Or danced a whole night in. Natural, touch-appealing fabrics. Comfy, yet always-sort-of-in-the-fashion shoes. His kind of sneakers. Or slippers. Or Oxford shoes. “So him!” kinda shoes.

But, but! This is just me. You be you in whatever turns you, him or her on, but, just for a second, question yourself about yourself (or about your better half) in a pajama mood. And a pajama (man!), can make you feel oh-so-fabulous. And it can only be his t-shirt. Or none.

Or everything is happening in men’s fashion now. Whatever the category above you come from, you rule, in the first place, and should check this out, in the second place. This is Spring 2017 menswear and it is some sort of beginning once again. You gotta keep your eyes open, remember?
