Yesterday I became an unwitting witness to an argument between several girlfriends. A hot topic was discussed: how to approach dressing your men. In most cases, in my experience, the man is dressed by the woman. And very rare men themselves like to shop and do it well, thoroughly approaching the formation of the image and not just choosing a suit for work and jeans for the weekend.
“Yeah, that’s right, dress him fashionably, some business woman will quickly take over his hands. The simpler the better!” (Remember the popular belief that a man should be slightly more beautiful than a monkey? It seems that those who hysterically try to keep him close… Close! I said!) And on the street Ho you will meet, a successful, intelligent Mr. Mattress: and a shirt and a suit and even a striped tie – or maybe you will see a forty-year-old man who is stuck in twenty-five. A kind of ancient hollow, who will have a half-colored “hollow” with a constantly turned up collar (why did they think , that it’s beautiful?), ripped jeans and sneakers. I’m silent about the poor people we see with the arrival of summer – in shorts with side pockets around the knees and sandals (I thought they were only worn in kindergarten). And now you live in an illusion , that he doesn’t need your help, he’s an adult and can handle everything by himself? Yes, nature just didn’t give him the function of decoration, you got it!
Tell me, how can you be so condescending to someone who is next to you? Let’s do an experiment: would you like to wear what your missus wears? Would you be happy if he dressed you in blue tights style for fear of competition?
It is said that a woman is a reflection of her man’s status. I want to tell you that since it is a mirror, it reflects exactly in the opposite direction as well. According to your husband, I draw a conclusion about you – how self-confident you are, how realized you are as a woman, how much you understand fashion. And don’t tell me he has a “beer belly” and “soldier legs” and sports are not for him. Did you ever love him? It is in your power to bring out the best in him, including self-love.
Do you understand anything about men’s fashion? Okay, take some time to cultivate this topic. And don’t forget the same basic style rules you know from women’s fashion sources: proportion, color and visual illusion. For example, I enjoy the style of Italian men – they are not afraid of colors, they constantly experiment in search of themselves and wear things with the right shine 24 hours a day. Italian street-style photos will help you, especially check out the pictures with #pittiuomo and of course check out all the new menswear collections, personally I always look at Brunello Cucinelli, Michael Kors, Tom Ford, Gucci, Hugo Boss and Massimo Dutti.
And remember, if it’s not clear who’s next to you, you’re not the queen! So take your feet in your hands and go for fashion reboots.
