When it comes to fashion, modern day young men are
trying new styles of clothing, especially styles that sport some softer
feminine touches and, in some cases, are overtly feminine. The metrosexual is
turning into something else.
However, this is not the first time in history this
has happened. Centuries ago, young men donned a number of styles and garments
with extravagance, flair, and femininity. Those men were not afraid to express
a softer side. When Beau Brummel introduced the 3-piece suit in the 1800s, that
led to a more subdued look for men. This was the beginning of the modern-day
division between young men's and girls fashion.
Now, two hundred years later, we are witnessing the
metamorphosis of the metrosexual into something more revealing and
seductive–men who will "flirt openly with feminine styles and
fashion," according to an article by scandanavianfashion.net titled
Feminine Styles For Men Gain Ground.
From v-necks to skinny jeans, clothes for young men
are now mass market; however, the style still has potential for growth.
Designer fashions today are trending toward the more androgynous, playful, and
form-fitting, while taking every liberty to reveal the beauty of the male
physique.
Let's review some examples of young men's fashion
clothing and accessories.
The V-Neck
The v-neck style is quite common in women's dress
tops; v-necks for young men have been around for a long time but haven't been
as popular until recently. The v-neck is more feminine because it opens up the
face by exposing the chest at an angle–it's a very inviting look that conveys
approachability.
American Apparel is probably the leading retailer
for v-necks. They have a full assortment of colors and sizes, and I own most of
them. If you take a pair of your nicest jeans, pair it with a v-neck, and then
top it off with a blazer and some hot shoes, you've got a stunning look. If
you've got the money, I'd also recommend checking out some of the major online
retailers like Neiman Marcus or Saks–most carry designer v-necks, and the
fabrics, cuts, and style are superb.
Buyer beware: don't wear undergarment v-necks (e.g.
Fruit of the Loom & Hanes) in public–it doesn't look good. You need to buy
v-necks that were made to be worn as a regular shirt.
Slim Fit Shirts
Finding a slim fit shirt used to be almost
impossible, but now a number of clothing retailers are producing them. Slim fit
shirts bring out a feminine quality because they are tapered around the waist
to create the contoured look which is common in most shirts worn by women
today.
Express for young Men started out as the leading
retailer for men's slim fit shirts several years ago. They have three different
slim fit styles: modern fit (snug), fitted stretch (more snug), and extra
fitted (snuggest). However, the shirts made by Express are not my favorites–the
cotton is stiff and not very soft. Saks Off 5th is a great place to purchase
men's slim fit shirts. The cuts are great, the fabrics are amazing and, believe
it or not, the price is about the same you would pay at Express.
Shawl Collars
Nothing says larger-than-life louder than a shawl
collar. A shawl collar–quite common in women's clothing, especially dress
clothing–channels the feminine as it enfolds the neck with a grandness and
boldness that draws attention to the face. Shawl collars tend to be very
seasonal in men's clothing–you may only see them in winter collections, whereas
in women's clothing you see them all year round.
I find that American designers aren't very generous
with their shawl collars, but European/Asian designers will definitely take
more liberties in their designs. In fact, in Asia, the collars can be
everything from exotic to regal. If you love shawl collar jackets, cardigans,
and hoodies, then you'll want to check out YesStyle, an importer of Asian
fashions, as they have the best selection of shawl collar garments for men.
Fur or Faux Fur Lined Jackets
Similar to the shawl collar, a fur or faux fur
lined jacket has a grandness and opulence that will certainly put you in touch with
your feminine side.
In the US, these can be somewhat difficult to find.
There are definitely jackets with fur or faux-fur collars, but they aren't
feminine. I have found that in the US, there will only be a handful of fur
lined collar jackets that are truly spectacular. In Asia, though, this style is
everywhere. YesStyle is another great resource for this type of jackets. You
may also want to check with some of the larger luxury retailers like Neiman's,
Saks, and Bluefly.
Fitted Pants
Finding good fitted men's pants, especially
dress/casual pants, is still fairly difficult. However, one designer sticks out
from the rest: Bonobos. Bonobos is doing two things with their fashion that I
love (and it's very feminine): first, their pants are specially cut on the
backside to flatter the curve of your butt–no more diaper butt. Women don't get
to be the only ones with an attractive butt anymore. Second, Bonobos also
produce a bootcut or flared leg in their dress pants, also very rare to see,
but quite common among women's clothing. For a pear-shaped man, I think a
bootcut pant works well as it helps to even out the pear a little. Bonobos also
carries tapered leg pants as well.
