I was thinking about getting a pair of harness boots in black suede but now your wives have me feeling the perception is their too feminine. Maybe I’ll go for Jodphurs instead.


Are you also married to their wives? Why should their opinion matter to you? My guess is they take issue with the heel height especially if they dont take issue with jodhpurs.

If you like them, don't let the anecdotal opinion of two random women you most likely will never meet sway you.

I like the graphite color but i don't think grey to dark grey has a place in my closet. I had a pair of grey CPs that i never wore. I think if you can justify them grab them.

imo never consider grey until you got the 3 core colors down: tan, chocolate brown, black. grey is just a different aesthetic. worn wrong, and it comes across as dirty dusty black.

Obviously not...it’s more like if that’s the general consensus of women it might push me in the Jodhpur direction.

wearing clothes/shoes/whatever you like confidently will get you infinitely more women than wearing something that others like, but isn't being true to yourself.

**** what everybody else thinks, it's your life, your style, not theirs.

Hey everyone! Just wondering if anyone could help me authenticate this shirt. I love the design, hoping to buy it if it's authentic!

If you're worried about your manhood, you're probably on the wrong forum and should resort to shopping at Costco. You're on a male fashion forum. I'm sure more than half of the user base here shares differing opinions about their sexual orientation than you. ****, I mean, You're on a Hedi Slimane forum... Boy Safari, etc. If you're this concerned from the get go, this style is probably never going to sit well with you. This will also run through your mind with every garment you wear most likely. "Oh my god, white sneakers are now feminine.. i shouldn't wear black jeans and white sneakers or ill seem feminine.. !!??"

Don't let the internet dress you, wear what you like and wear it proud and stop giving a ****!

RE: the dinosaur tee - terribly fake. I almost went blind looking at that.

RE: Women thinking SLP men's boots look feminine, of course they do. My wife said the same thing, but one acknowledges and then makes one's own decision. It's similar to skinny jeans about 15 years ago.

RE: the grey hoodie above, I don't mind that look at all. It reminds me of the 90s when there was this weird poncho thing going on, and this is like a frizzy take on it. haha

...as an interesting side note.
A lot of women are not into men who are interested in 'higher fashion'...At least that's what my ex and some of my female friends are telling me. 'It's because they don't want to 'compete' with their partner on that level. Of course it's important to dress well, but only to a certain level'...anyone else made that experience? silly ime, because most men i know simply do it for themselfs.
beside that, i agree with anyone else. Just dress and do whatever the # u want to and do it with confidance.
