Hunter green, purple, deep blue, lavender, heather grey, navy blue, .....

If you can expand your horizon you'll see there is so much more available.

Be vibrant, not stereotyped by the masses.

You've seen it.

My main gripe with men's fashion is colour choice...... It would be nice if makers of street clothes would follow this lead. 

Shyheels why are you waiting...

I found if an item functions better and comes in more choices who cares if it is marketed at women.  Take my turtlenecks, they are all women's (TALL). They fit better than men's, more comfortable, can be layer better, and I have more color options. I even have a few long sleeve turtleneck bodysuits. Also I have sleeveless turtlenecks which are extremely comfortable to wear but are not offered to men.

And do you see lots of men following your example? The herd looking up from their bunch grass and trotting along behind?

No I don't see lots of men following my example, yet. But I do see more and more asking me about it. 

I'm starting to see more and more men wearing what look like leggings.

Look at the "man bun".

Men have never had that collective courage, and our fashion drivers remain firmly rooted in the 18th century - uniformity, sobriety, practicality, dark shades, simple colours. Theatricality in dress is not allowed. It is seen as unsound. Does not belong with the herd. 

How that changes, I do not know - unless the collective boredom simply becomes too much. 

It changes when you have the courage as a man to lead the herd.  Maybe, I have it easier because of where I live, maybe because I have been outside (ahead of) the herd and on the cutting edge of things.

I'm one of those that wears polish on both my hands and feet; I don't do it to look like a woman, I do it because I like to express myself that way. When you wear high heel sandals most of the year, you better have nice looking toes. If you don't expose your toes, you may not understand this.

About half my clothes started in the women's section, but I don't think of them as women's clothes because they're mine. For me its function and comfort over what side of store it came from. I prefer tighter fitting clothes, light compression over loose fitting. I like compression on my legs when doing sports, so I have many leggings. I don't wear women's pants because they don't meet my needs. And I not into skirts or dresses.

I'm not trying to look or dress as a woman, I just blend my clothes together.

Horses

I for one have about half a dozen suede heels and wear them on a rotational bases with my other boots and booties. Almost bought another pair yesterday, NOT RATED booties with tassels. And wore my blue suede knee highs today. I take care to only walk on pavement and avoid walking on grass. Then dry them out before putting them away.

Do they come with sunglasses? Those are screaming bright.

Reach for the sky in my crush velvet leggings and FB Canti retro heels.  Can't wait for warmer days so that I can wear these heels to work

I’d damn well better make sure I didn’t look foolish or inappropriate. Because of that particular mindset, I tend to think I overdo things, that I overdress.

Just to throw another log on the fire in your mind.

How appropriate is it to overdress? Is this what you're worried about? That you are being inappropriate by overdressing?  Tough question.

My version of "freestyling" I call blending. On almost every day at least 60% of what I am wearing stated out on the other side of the store. I present (alpha) male, but I like tighter fitting clothes, I like to layer, more color ... and these qualities I can find better in women's clothing. Since I started blending and wear high heels I find that I take more time in putting my outfits for the day together. Also, I dress better than I use to. Either matching my heels to what I have on or knowing what heels I want to wear dictate my outfit for the day.

I use Aldo's Gel Instep Cushions. They also help in keeping your foot from sliding and jamming your toes on slick tall heels. An Aldo manager gave me my first pairs.

I like variety, so from booties to knee highs; the heels just need to be at least 3.75 inch taller than the platform.
