Succumbing to the Tyranny of #menswear (WSJ)

Buddy posted this on my facebook the other day. Some very good observations in there. Some things (ie. unbuckled monkstrap and unbuttoned surgeons cuff) are simply trying too hard, IMO.

Le sigh.

WDWV discussed this yesterday.

This is hilarious and applies to a lot of what's circulated here. It really comes down to whether you think that there's value in the "rules" or not. Some people will get upset and defensive/indignant; those are the people who take it too seriously.

the backlash against #menswear left the barn door and reached full gallop quite some time ago. the fact that WSJ picked up on it can signify....the backlash to the backlash is imminent...?!
