The first thought that comes to mind when you think of fashion is, beautiful models, skinny women, and elaborate gowns. There is something missing though... men. Throughout the years men fashion has changed only slightly compared to that of woman's fashion. Most of the designs coming down the runway for men have the same color pattern, bland, dull, and beige. Meanwhile it appears that women can wear just about anything, or even nothing at all! Sometimes it seems that designers are trying to push the envelope but it ends up looking almost tacky on a man, even though it is considered high fashion on a woman. Why is that? In the fashion world, a place of understanding and open-mindedness, men really can't be free. They constantly stay conservative or preppy in fear of appearing crazy.
My question is: Why? Why is it okay for men's fashion to be less than interesting? Men where clothes too and I am sure I can find someone even in my school who is interested in seeing men's designs expand.
What the point of all of this?
Well it is never okay in this day and age to have a double standard. There are tons of them out there and oddly enough most of them backfire on the woman! If a woman works it is considered weird, because she is supposed to be the caregiver. If a woman sleeps around she is considered a trollop. The list goes on, but now there is one for men. If a man dresses elaborately they are either considered crazy (and out of touch with reality) or homosexual. This needs to end, and yes, fashion could save this, and make is acceptable to wear whatever it is your heart desires, 'crazy' or not.
