jim Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 This could be the hot new Free style look for winter..I realy like the sweater and pants and would wear them given the chance.I hope this softer look for guys enters the main stream.What a change from the mundain,baggy arsed stuff offered at the moment. Like most here, I dress a little differently and Ms Westwood is doing nothing more than attempting to catch up.. As for the breasts, Hmmmmm.............I think I'd give it a go as well. It's a shame the don't show the shoes in the pic,a pair of 4" heels would set this combo off well. http://www.dailytelegraph.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5936,5836546%255E21302,00.html Makin a clean breast of Fashion. WANT to keep abreast of the latest in male fashion? Well, the message from Milan is to say goodbye to Mr Macho and hello to Mr Androgyny. The provocative direction – featuring male models with fake breasts under figure-hugging knitwear – was sent down the catwalk by outrageous British designer Vivienne Westwood in the mens' autumn winter 2003 shows held this week. And while the effect may look outrageous today, fashion commentators reckon Sydney men may just end up adopting it – in a few years' time. Director of fashion at Sydney TAFE, Alison Mason, said while Westwood's designs have always been controversial they have largely made their way into our everyday wardrobe. "The look is controversial but we may see it in some diluted manner in stores," Ms Mason said. She said the designer had a history of presenting some of the most shocking looks but also visual effects that had been adopted by the mainstream. Ms Westwood put punk clothing on the map, featuring safety pins, slashed T-shirts, chains and dog collars in the '70s. The designer also pioneered the new romantic look of the '80s which featured feminine frilled and flounced shirts for men. But this time around the Westwood catwalk also featured plenty of cues from womens' wear. Jumpers came in tones of soft camel and rose, featured blouson sleeves and ruffled cuffs, and were teamed with fetching slim-hipped pants and cute peek-a-boo bonnet-style scarves. Even the catwalk pose took on a feminine trait – gone was the tough guy stance. It was replaced by a coy swivel of the hips contrived to give the model the slimmest silhouette possible. Editorial: Page 16 Curves ... a male model wears a breast prosthesis under a Vivienne outfit ... macho meets androgyny, all in the name of fashion.

badger Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 If your going to have breasts, you might as well wear a skirt or dress and show off your nice heels or boots. Everyone should wear boots! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julietta Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Eddie Izzard already wears prosthesis breasts. I've seen him wearing them with an emerald green satin bra. He looks fantastic.

JeffB Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 A most eye-catching and interesting sight indeed. And I agree wholeheartedly that a pair of heels would've matched perfectly with that outfit. In fact, I daresay that heels NEEDED to go with that ensemble! :-D I don't want to LOOK like a woman, I just want to DRESS like a woman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamyam Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Yikes! Actually, I think this looks sort-of okay. I'm not going to be the first one to give that a try around here, tho' Obsessed is such a strong word.

Jezebel Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Well, I don't think Curves for men are going to hit the mainstream for me. Kinda odd, one day will men be comparing breast size? So many shoes, so little time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azraelle Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 Well, I don't think Curves for men are going to hit the mainstream for me. Kinda odd, one day will men be comparing breast size? It could happen! It is already very common for male wannabe body builders who have used steroids or steroid-like substances to talk about each other's "side effects" including, among other things, "'roid rages" (steroid-induced PMS?), and enlarged mammary glands (I forget what the corny slang term is for them). I have to admit that the look of the male model IS rather "fetching", but it won't catch on if combined with other feminine attire, including hi-heels, at least in the short run, in my opinion--that would be "over the top" as you Brits would say. Also, it would look terrible on a fat man (like me ) but probably no worse than on a fat woman! Progress in men's fashion will continue to be, as my dad used to say, "steady by jerks" (a little at a time).

PJ Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 This androginy look will require more time for me to get used to it. Although I do support anyone's right to wear anything they like, in my case, if I want to wear something feminine, then I will go all the way and dress completely like a female. It's because of my fetish for feminine high heel pumps that made me develop into a crossdresser. I have no aspirations on being a female. I only want to look like one when I wear my beloved high heels. click .... click .... click .... The sensual sound of stiletto heels on a hard surface.

terayon Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 pretty wierd & dumb idea if u ask me....thats bordering closely on being a CD or a TG which i personally have no interest in....some people may like it, but its most definetly not for me....

jim Posted January 19, 2003 Author Share Posted January 19, 2003 might not that also be a reference to the men that conceive new fashions? LOL You may be right in some ways Bubba.What you say is especially relevant to those men who design for men. But in this case the designer is a woman.... Not the kind of clothing I'd wear mucking out the stable, but then I don't wear my heels out riding the horse or working in the garden either. As for me, I like the softer look and it's not that different to what I wear now. The breasts would take a bit of getting used to tho..but I'm game.

Laurieheels Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 It's throwing things into a loop, certainly. Men displaying breasts and curves. Now, what happens to the part about the primal attraction between men and women, how men look for wide hips, and women look for broad shoulders? It is an interesting fashion concept, certainly, and maybe the intention is to skew the genetic predispositions of men and women everywhere.

Francis Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 if men adopt the wearing of 'strap on baps' then it's going to make looking for female company in a nightclub next to impossible it might work, you never now. I mean, men are always trying to get into womens underwear and quite usually have a breast fixation, well now they can have it all ways. They can wear them! I would probably only be seen with breasts if I was on hormones (unlikely), going to do a charity collection (and they want me dressed as a woman) or it's playtime in the bedroom. It may be a long time before I adopt it as everyday wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highguy Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 I think this may well catch on, heard about a bloke once who got breast implants for a bet and kept them as he was so happy with them. Us guys would never have to leave the house I have been out in male clothes with fake breasts underneath and my heels and it feels pretty dam good. Give it a go, but dont get too carried away and go for the jordan look, than would look just daft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julietta Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 I saw that guy on tv talking about it. His friends said they'd pay him £30,000 if he a) had them done and kept them for a year.

highguy Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 The guy got a surgeon to pay for the breasts for free, by winning a game of back gammon. I think a nice pair of double dds would be cool if I could get away with it. Any guys out there be up for a set of boobs to win a bet. Suppose it would depend on the amount of cash offered.

TallSwede Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 Drats, I knew once how to play backgammon (quite well), but went back to my bridge playing (which I also had to give up due to lack of time and hating turning down 20-40 callers each afternoon who needed a fourth player to get going).

Laurieheels Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 There have been commercials featuring men with breasts - for breast cancer awareness. Essentially, it was saying "If he had them, he would take care of them. So should you." They made the guy out to be pretty happy, actually.

Francis Posted January 24, 2003 Share Posted January 24, 2003 as a species, we are fixated with breasts. most men judge a woman on the size of her mammary glands, in fact, some men just talk to the breasts rather than looking the woman in the eye (rather sad, really). without them a child's development after birth would be severely hampered, so the human race looks for good ones. one the other side of that is the fact that quantity doesn't equal quality, but we like to think it. I can play backgammon sufficiently to beat the computer 95% of the time (and the computer cheats), but I'm not ready to have a pair of knockers surgically attached to my chest just yet, even if could get away with it. mind you, with the weight I seem to have be piling on, I appear to have A cup tits already I bet those will disappear once I go on a diet. As for curves, well, not so many years ago I had curves. I was a skinny little urchin with a 36-28-34 figure, which would make women envious and men believe that it was female (well, from the back anyway) if men did adopt the wearing of breasts, then at least it would be slightly more interesting them comparing breast size as opposed to comparing beer gut size or intelligence needed to beat someone up. do you think that football might, even, take a back seat during such discussions?

Highluc Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 There is a Yahoo club catering for that on http://groups.yahoo.com/group/menwantingbreasts/ but sometimes it diverges from the subject quite a bit.

highguy Posted January 27, 2003 Share Posted January 27, 2003 Thanks have checked the user group out some interesting photos, hmmmmmmm Brough some new heels today much higher than my last pair and the dont make that annoying clicking sound. Also thought I would try the breast thing out, as I dont have and real false tits, I when for a bra and water filled balloon. So there I am with my new heels and ample bust, me thinks a little too ample as I got a few looks from a very quite country pub I walked past. everyone in it at the window. Think maybe less of the Jordan look next time Still it was fun and the heels were great Highguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
