Trending with J.Crew

Men's Fashion

My housemates and I get the monthly J.Crew Style Guide Magazine.  Each month when the magazine arrives, one of our favorite activities is analyzing each outfit on each page and then letting every person who enters our home analyze each outfit on each page. 

I guess that's what we get for not having TV to amuse ourselves.

For quite some time, J.Crew has been featuring BOLD AND BRIGHT COLORS in their magazine.  The sultry models are seen standing with bright yellow skirts and neon green tops or checkered pink and orange shorts with "Vibrant Flame" red shirts.  Sometimes, the bright pages hurt my eyes, but it has been growing on me, slowly but surely.  (I actually just bought a pair of neon yellow shorts - guilty).

I was surprised by the newest male trends in the "Men's Style Guide".  Bright colors are going viral.  Green, purple, orange and yellow pants overtake the men's section of the website.

So far, every male I have shown this picture to has given it a definite thumbs down.  They are also all from the Midwest.



Any thoughts?

  1. not that i'm in the market, but i would not go on a date with someone who wore these pants. not just on the date, but ever. i like a man in flannel and camo. (not necessarily together, but possibly.)

    also, i do not appreciate seeing his ankles. cover those dainty things up, dude.

  3. hey, this is what you told me to buy last weekend! Hm...so there is method to the madness. i didn't realize it was a contemplated move.

    Well, you'll be unhappy to hear that i--along with my fellow demographic of male, midwesterners ages 18-26--will never be caught in these sorts of outfits.
