The question is, why don't they want to admit it?

Good question - I think it boils down to 'do they have too'. For a lot of guys, there is absolutely no reason to. Then again, some of the wives don't dress much beyond the men. Just go to any Walmart in the rural areas.

I already know some here will have strong opinions against this line, because it's innovation doesn't represent the interests of "critical mass"  (Sears, Debenhams).  And that's fine.  I look forward to hearing their strong opinions.  

Oh hell - I don't think Sears, Macy's, Nordstrom's or any of the big chains really know what men want. If they did they might be doing better than they are.

As for Alejandro Gomez Paloma and his designs - - Not really any stranger than some of the other designers put out there for men.

Mens fashion really hasn't changed much in the last 50 years. Jeans and t-shirts are just that. The three piece suit is pretty much the same with different cuts. About the only thing that has changed is that men don't wear Fedora's any more. As a whole, men no longer dress up unless they have too

Past experience says go with the Kiss styles. Comfortable enough for longer periods, and sturdy enough to last.

Those who disliked Trump may focus on the necktie while those who liked him are focused on the ties which bind us together. We'll be fine. HappyinHeels

I disliked both of them - - - Boy am I screwed.

Congress won't have time to worry about this unless it becomes a transgender bathroom issue.

 - - - """ Oh no - It's a guy in the men's room wearing heels and a skirt - - he's gonna scar Billy Bob for life!!!""""

And yes, I can see this!

No, it's a guy in the men's room wearing women's attire - - - you know that ain't allowed. I'm sure our current congress would have the deplorables all up in arms. You should hear some of the bullxxxx coming out of the mouths of the people I have to work with.

Don't get me wrong, these are good guys that would bend over backwards if you in a serious jam, but show up in attire not  considered "good ole' boy" and they are done with you.

On that score I can't see the silly PC high heel debate taking place in the US Congress anytime soon.

Not really a fan of Trump, and I wasn't a fan of Hillary either - - I went third party.

I can think of one thing to do with that long red tie - - - It's already around his neck - - - !!!!

Is it that difficult to be properly turned-out once or twice a year? 

If you only dig out a shirt and tie once a year, you usually discover to late (as in 10 minute before your supposed to leave) that the shirt no longer fits.

These are another pair of my favorite heels. Not very practical but I love the height and the edgy style with the zippers and contrasting red.

Saw a pair of those once, but they didn't have a size 10 - - - damned!!

Well - - - - At least the Trump women wear nice heels - - - !!

Fun survey distraction from June 2016.  onehallyu calls themself "Your number one Asian Entertainment community forum!".

Reality vs. idea distinction again is key to interpreting results.

 

Pose that question here in the states in different locations and see what you get for results. 30% would be fantastic.

“Unisex may sound like a joke, but, in fact, it’s all about styling and being able to dress however you like,” Ms. Westwood, 75, said. “Swapping clothes with your partner means you can buy less, choose well and really make them last.”

Good in concept - reality says no.

From what I saw of the mens collection - - -Oh hell no. A couple pieces I could see, the rest did nothing for me. I'm not a fashion guru though.

Did some hunting and found that a lot of folks caught it.

I have a couple pairs of boots that are super loud - - That's what catches peoples attention. If I'm the only guy in the hotel lobby, and I'm making noise, it's an automatic flag for the desk help. I also have a pair of JLo spike heeled platform boots, and they don't gather much attention at all.

I tend to stay away from patent leather and pointy toes for multiple reasons. I do have open toe varieties, but again, the heel noise seems to be the obvious initial attractor.

I have been attributing the lack on my seeing elegant dressing on the places that I frequent, as elegant dressing would not be appropriate.  However, lowering the bar a little, I don't see much "neat" or "coordinated" dressing either.

Understand that - - !! You know your in the sticks when dressing up consists of a new Harley-Davidson T-shirt from your last vacation.

The idea that men are sometimes bullies and more so in some environments is true, but again if you work in one of those environments that is of course your choice. We get to choose.

Yep -  kinda drifted into an environment that is not accepting to heels on men, then again, I was here when I discovered the interest. 

I'm a Jeans over the boot guy. Carryover from wearing western boots since I was a kid. I can get away with wearing some serious block heeled boots if the pants are long enough and 99% of people wont notice (which is fine by me) Sometime in the near future on one of my travelling trips, I might just do the skinny jeans and boots inside, but I really haven't had the opportunity to do so. (and no, I'm not doing it anywhere near home - - not happening)

Now ""IF"" I ever get a break while I'm in Chicago (hint hint) maybe I'll do something even more noticeable.

Nope - - Don't think about it. I've escaped the grim reaper many times, and none of them were terrorist/shootings/public catastrophy. I'm lucky to be alive although I wonder if escaping the ultimate fate leaves a mark on you the next time around. Don't worry about it. Enjoy what you can and disregard the rest.

curiousheels,

FYI, if you know your size, you should be able to find them a lot cheaper on Ebay.

http://www.discountstripper.com/domina-108.aspx

$42.00

And they go all the way to size 14.

OK - - so they may not be the most logical boots to wear in those conditions, but if they are warm and have a decent tread - - I'd do it. That doesn't look any worse than my driveway and the road I live on with the exception of no trees.

 - - - - Bathroom on the right - ???

There are a bunch of tunes that have had misheard lyrics. Just can't think of any lately.

Have never really been a fan of the jumpsuit as underwear, spanx and things like that are good when necessary, but to me jumpsuits are usually an unnecessary layer and too many layers makes me uncomfortable. When i was a kid, my mom always told me to wear undershirts with my shirts but i refused most of the time for this reason.

Interestingly, I never had an issue wearing bras.

The vast majority of the time i wear shirts and blouses untucked. For business casual i will sometimes wear a blouse tucked because of the outfit, (blazers etc)

Our moms must have been friends. To this day, I can't wear a t-shirt under a dress shirt (Then again I haven't worn dress shirts more than a few times a year) I'm a guy that has that specific shape that will not be improved by any shape wear. That "slim figure" concept left the station way back in high school. I will always be a guy in heels.

Yes quite right. Purple Haze, I think. Thank you, both.  I felt an ignominy looming, but that was CCR's failed song.

Nope- - - Jimi Hendrix Purple Haze

I have it on album.

Let's consider some clarification. Some of the probabilities depend on overall location. As we have mentioned before. if you live in a metropolitan area that has a tendency to be accepting, and you work in an office such as an accountant, software related, or in an environment that doesn't have to deal directly with the public, you have a better chance of getting away with wearing heels to work as a guy.

If you walk into a locker room of a steel mill, police station, Auto plant in the middle of the country, you are now gay, and unless you are a mixed martial arts competitor - - - your chances of survival drop drastically.

Real story - - a few years ago, during a local winter power outage, a guy who was still slightly hung over, in a dark house, grabbed the wrong underwear out of a draw, and showed up for work. needless to say, his work career took a turn for the worse when he went in to change into his work clothes at the shop. Pink is like neon orange, and the other guys harassed him for weeks. He finally quit, and shortly thereafter, he moved. Grown men acting like bullies in a school yard. and management chipped in.
