Menswear AW08: Clueless or Clued up?

by Lindsay North

Remember the sequence in Clueless where Alicia Silverstone’s character bemoans the fashion choices of the males of her generation? prada_menswear_header.jpgAs she decries their “baggy jeans and backward caps”, an image of guys walking down the sidewalk wearing said jeans and caps flashes across the screen. Fortunately, fashion for men has come a long way. No longer exclusively the territory of wealthy Europeans, male models, and select other men, the “metrosexual” movement has made it acceptable for guys to be just as fickle about their ties and shirts as we girls are about our shoes.

It’s not uncommon to see men walking down the street, jeans emblazoned with the same designer logo as their girlfriends (though, for the record, this type of matching should be avoided if possible). Aside from the competition for the bathroom mirror, most girls probably won’t complain about the increasingly fastidious habits of the men around them. I, for one, am highly appreciative of dapper men.

Oh Miuccia Prada we love you we do! You’ve consistently kept us on our toes, cared less about your critics and experimented fearlessly. You said it was time us women sampled the turban and now the trend has become so popular it looks like the headwear will be shifting into menswear.

Now your vision has taken on the form of pyjama inspired apparel for men’s ready to wear. Some of the floral prints should be handled with care….but you’ve won our hearts over with the silhouette.

With skinny jeans and leggings being at the core of ‘below the waist’ fashion, accentuating legs seems to be key to most styles. I myself have a number of pairs of leggings and absolutely love them, whether I’m wearing them with a dress for a night out, or with a hoody for a cosy night in. BUT…I feel a line has been crossed when we transfer this fashion ‘must have’ to our male counterparts. In my opinion, and I have complete faith that my girlfriends would agree with me, I don’t want to wake up one morning to find my boyfriend or brother sporting the same leg warmers or leggings as me……there are just some trends that shouldn’t be shared between the sexes….

Yes there is a boom Tom Fordin men’s fashion and doesn’t Tom Ford know it. From the Hip Hop elite to Hollywood’s brat pack, men have finally woken up to the importance of style. Credited for given Gucci a boost in the 90’s, Ford intends to capitalise on the growing market with a new menswear line and a store located in New York next spring.
