It’s a strange thing – what we women may think is this season’s “must have”, is sometimes anything but to a man.
Here are 5 fashion trends men just don’t get – and I don’t just mean in the hubster’s opinion (though I assume he’s pretty typical of men in general). I Must Confess: I actually did my research peoples! I posed the question on Facebook and Twitter just to make sure I got a good cross-section of responses (half a dozen people responding counts as a good sample, doesn’t it?!).
5 Fashion Trends Men Just Don’t Get
- Number one on the list is dungarees/overalls – short or long. According to the hubster, they’re “shapeless and ugly”. They’re baggy, they’re saggy, they’re altogether daggy … *sung to the tune of the Addams family*. And as you can see by the photo above, they’re back in store now …
- Patchwork. Why would any girl want to dress in anything that even pretends to look old? I found this out the hard way – I had a favourite summer dress with a patchwork print on the skirt. Hubster HATED it with a passion, and thought it belonged in the rag bag even when it was brand new!
- Rae from I Opened my Mouth and it Ran Away without Me brought up the subject of onesies. Actually, I’m a woman and *I* don’t get onesies either! They’re too much of a challenge when it comes to visiting the toilet – not to mention having to strip off when it’s freezing cold!
- Meanwhile, Songul from Unorganised Mum cast her vote for harem pants / dropped crotch pants. The hubster agreed – they’re just nasty.
- And last but not least – patterned pants. As Lauren from SAHM I Am put it: “Apparently it looks like I am wearing my pajamas!” Well Lauren, I think you’re spot on with this one because my hubster is another fellow who doesn’t like them.
Do you have anything to add to the list of fashion trends that men just don’t get?
