Yesterday I reported on a terrible fashion trend in men’s underwear and I am seeing more even more outlandish ones today:
It looks like the man is wearing a very large diaper and a too small bra. And the zipper. What purpose could it have but make dressing up in it even more difficult? What in God’s name were they thinking? Why would any self respecting man think that rambling into their bedroom with this on would spark a romantic tryst is beyond me.
This has so much wrong with it I don’t now where to begin. It is aesthetically unpleasing, impractical to wear and it looks terribly uncomfortable. A definite no from me.
About 25 years ago I began to receive a catalogue for Cheap Undies for men. It came out of nowhere one day and I thought why am I getting this? I would never wear any of this and after giving it more thought I realized somehow, someone out their in the wide world web had figured out that I was gay. I am betting that straight males are not receiving these kind of catalogues. It is much more likely that they are receiving Victoria’s Secret.
I only say this because I wouldn’t want people to think I actually would wear anything like this. I am much more of the on sale brand at Macy’s kind of guy. I won’t buy the cheapest underwear, because like with wine buying, I think it is important to buy the 2nd cheapest as opposed to the cheapest. It sets you apart from the really cheap people. I wouldn’t want the clerk to get the wrong idea about me. It’s a rule for me — the 2nd cheapest pair of underwear, the 2nd cheapest bottle of wine.
And certainly nothing sexy or stylish. In my youth, I tried to wear them as to increase my sexual appeal. I usually felt vaguely uncomfortable and like a bit of a poser. And if you really consider underwear, it is the one item of clothing not available for perusal prior to picking up, so it seems like investing in a nicer T shirt or tighter jeans was a better investment. This is to say, in case you are missing my point and calming your fears about how sexy I think I am, I will not be purchasing the above products any time soon.
So now that I got that awkward stuff out of the way. What is it with the get up on gentleman number 1. Numbers 2 and 3 I get but what is that strap around the neck doing on the first young man. It looks like the straps to a bra. Without the bra. For a man. The only thing I can come up with is it draws the eye to his chest? But after a few seconds of grateful admiration I always return to what is he wearing and why?
It looks, and I am really trying to think of a gentle way to put this but can’t so I will just come out and say it, stupid. Why not go with the naked chest alone? Or a tank top or t Shirt? But a strap around the upper chest? Huh?
