LET'S GET RID OF MEN'S SKINNY JEANS!!!


We told it before, this blog is about fashion but it is first and foremost about beautiful, fabulous, dazzling style, and I'll give you a little tip, come, come closer: STYLE IS NOT ABOUT TRENDS!!!! I know, it can come as a shock, but someone truly stylish will not follow on trends, they will interpret them, take what is good, leave what is not.

Well... There is one trend that has been getting on my nerves for the past few years, and it is men's skinny jeans. Who on earth invented that and what were they thinking???!! I know there is a huge androgynous tendency in the fashion world at present, but I like a man to be a man, and if he is squeezing himself and his crouchy curves in tight revealing trousers, I find it hard to take him seriously. Plus let's be honest, it's almost never flattering, it might not be very healthy, talk about comfortable, and it draws your eyes straight to... well actually that might be the only interesting thing about this shape. It can avoid certain disappointments.

Luckily for us, male fashion is going back to a more traditional form in SS09, with slim fitted, but definitely wider trousers on the high street. They have not gone all the way yet, but have definitely taken a few clues from the Fall 08 collections of Giorgio Armani and/or Stefano Pilati for Yves Saint Laurent. Let's celebrate! Men are back: it's going to be a lot more enjoyable to check them out in the street!
