Boys, Don’t Cry
As I sat, gingerly spooning my M&M frozen yogurt into my ravenous mouth at a favorite ice cream parlor of mine and my boyfriend’s…I looked over and spied one of the most puzzling combinations I’ve ever laid eyes upon. This gentleman was sporting Dansko clogs (strange enough seeing that he’s a man and not a chef), completely sockless. They lead the way up to jeans, a tight, dark grey T-shirt and, heavens, a gold chain around his neck. What was he attempting to accomplish? That Weekender Mafioso look? “I’m a dedicated foot soldier for Tony Soprano yet I also enjoy antiquing with my wife on the cape and feeling crunchy once in a while?” It was then that I realized: I am well aware that Sole Envie is a company dedicated to custom shoes for women….but as far as this blog has been concerned…Men have been allowed to roam free…completely off the hook. So this one is for the boys. Here are a couple of simple tips for the gentlemen out there, numbered for your convenience and short attention spans.
1. Socks Some men have the terrible habit of wearing socks when they are not supposed to (under Birkinstocks, for example, which, if you’re wondering, should just be eliminated alltogether), and not wearing them when they really should. Socks do not belong with sandals, and they do belong with sneakers.
2. Velcro Some men are allowed to wear velcro. These men are under 8 years of age.
3. Unisexuality Simply, if they make the same exact item for women with little to no variation, don’t wear them.
4. Pink I know you think you’re bold, daring and stylin in your popped collared bright pink Lacoste shirt. But “takin it to the street” as it were by putting it in shoe form on your tootsies goes waaaaay beyond the realm of acceptable. And straighten your hat, for heaven’s sake.
