If you're a guy...

And you are fashion aware, does that make you gay? I mean, just cuz we're male, doesn't mean we're idiots when it comes to clothes, hairstyles, and style in general. Myself, I like to design clothes sometimes--especially dresses. But I'm straight. I like the ladies and am secure with my sexuality.

I just think it's a very bad stereotype.

But that is my opinion.

Its not gay anymore, at least like it used to be. Maybe back 5 or 6 years ago, but now, its cool. Im sure many guys do things that would be considered gay, but just do it cause they enjoy it.

No. But I couldn't care less about fashion. :silly:

big 'so what?' from me,I am pleased to say.If being a clothes horse is your thing....good for you.As long as I can turn out to suit the day, I'm happy. If you feel the urge to wear all the 'right' labels,even when you are just mooching around the house,I'm very happy for you.Me...I tend to be laid back when it comes to 'fashion'.After all,the essence of fashion is doing what you are told is trendy.That's not me.:D

No, I'm not a label fiend. I'm actually anti-brand name. I just buy what looks good. I wasn't talking about that. I was talking about designing clothes and outfits. And no, I don't follow trends--I make commentaries and follow them if I like them, but I don't go for EVERYTHING that is in. There are ALOT of "in" trends that I despise and I'm glad I'm not brain-washed like some people into liking them. No, I trend set.

Glad to hear all the positives.

Of course, I could be biased because I run my own clothing company! (http://www.humansinprogress.com)

It would be silly to say that just because a guy is up to date on the current fasions and is dressed nicely that he is gay. This would be kind of like saying that any girl on this forum who likes cars and likes to work on cars is obviously gay.

I think i'm "fasion aware" and I try to be dressed nicely most of the time, of course my job calls for me to wear a suit so usualy you'll catch me in a button up and black slacks and a tie but sometimes I just have to relax and wear my ravekid pants that are ever so comfortable and whatever I find laying around in the way of a t shirt :p

jinushuan i always saw you as the ladies man type

nah its not gay until you actually wear the dresses imo, but im a slacker when it comes to clothes anyway

no, I don't really think your gay if you design clothes, one of my buddies wants to make his own clothes and hes not gay. I personally don't care about clothes I put on what's not dirty and wear it.

As long as the clothes fit, I could give a rats ass if it makes "fasion" sense. The clothing industry is just like cosmetics - a rip off. They start a trend and berate you if you dont spend outrageous sums of money to keep up with it. Buts thats my opinion. However, if its something a guy is into, they are no more gay then anyone else. Its just their thing.

:sun: :sun: well i myself dress to impress all the time.. well when i know there gona be purty ladies. But just because u like to look nice and your not an ass about it. Shit unless your realy gay, dressing good dont mean a thing. just means u could and everyone else is jealous.

I my self love the causual look, sweater tops slacks, jeans button shurt. If it looks good on ya and you can afford it then why not. just make sure u match. better to look good than to look stuped.

:D :D :sun: :flash:

I wish I could pick nice clothes.... I hate working out what goes with what :p

I dont think it's gay.
Just not something I'd do.

I think it would be kind of cool if I were able to design my own underwear, cause man... it's hard to find a good fit when you are built like a horse :p

no altho i wouldn't know if i had fashion sense anyways ..............

you might find that your jocks would fit more comfortably if you 'took your hand off it'occasionally.

OMG...I just figured it out. This whole time I thought you were saying you had a huge arse...I believe the term is "hung like a horse".

Bahahahahaha

I don't think it does. I'm not a label person but I do care about what I wear.

I agree. I care about what I look like, to a certain extent. I don't go out of my way to look good for other people, except if I know I am going some place with really hot chicks. If there are going to be hot chicks then I at least shave, and wear something that doesn't have mustard stains on it.

As far as the whole namebrand deal, I don't really care what it is as long as it looks ok.

yeah i like to look good and impress chicks.. but i'm not out there to loko better than other people or to look a certain way ... i can be a prepie one day and a jock the next and a skid the next... sometimes i care and sometimes i don't .. but i never care what people think ..

I do have fashion sense, but don't care what I wear.........

and No I do not think it is gay:flipa:

Really when you think about it, there has to be guys designing our clothes. If there were'nt then it would be women designing our clothes and they would be feminine :eek:

I don't consider people who are fashion aware to be gay. I find it normal to be fashionable. It's just those guys who pluck their eyebrows and shit that I consider gay. I don't think many in the US or other parts of the world do it but in Japan, teenage males pluck their eyebrows and they even have cosmetic shit with guides and stuff. I consider that to be very gay. I don't mind girls doing that cosmetic stuff but when a guy does that, that's just too much.:o

I have alot of female friends, and I help them with what they wear, I like wearing certain clothes because I feel it looks good, i've even gotten some compliments...but I am anything but gay....ask my future wife if ya dont believe me :D

New guy here!

I used to be a casual dresser, then the corporate look, now I'm back to the laid back Hawaiian shirt routine. Life is short, time to do what I want to do and not worry about impressing other people.

I like dressing important. Like the black suit with the gelled hair, and black sunglasses. If I had a breif case I would carry it, but I have to work with what I got.

As far as how I usually dress... I usually dress for the occasion. If I am going to the mall or just out, I usually just wear jeans and a pollo or a well fitted T-shirt. Nothing special.

I don't think that suggesting something for a chick to wear is gay at all. When you see an attractive girl you usually think "those pants really compliment her shape" or something like that. Like the other day this chick game in my store and she was wearing a yellow, sleeve-less shirt (some kind of stretchy material), some doc martin sandals, and capri style jeans with the fades on the butt and the thighs. It looked really good, and so did she :licker:

Wow, this thread has staying power. :eek:

yep

So what does everyone think of clothes that make you look good while not putting too much effort into it?

Eazy clothes....GOOD!

It's definently not gay.at least by what I see going on here in Va. Beach. I'm not really big on clothes though either.......I get my stuff from Wal-mart and JCPenney's.the cheap places. :D:D:D

Fashion has changed now and guys can get into just like woman.just maybe not as much then it starts to become gay.

I have a male friend who is a true exception to the rule:

He honestly is the gayest straight man you'll EVER find. He not only designs clothes for himself and females, but he has made several prom gowns and he's really good at it all. He can do an awesome job on hair and he can help some with makeup. Oh, and he has and will willingly wear a dress of his own creation without a second thought. Gay you ask? NOPE. He is entirely straight. Some may say that I just don't know the truth, but I've known him for years upon years and I know well enough.

A guy who's that confident in himself and can hang with the ladies is HOT.

Why is it that I only hear this on the Web & never in life:(

There's is NOTHING WRONG WITH GUYS TAKING PRIDE IN THEIR APPERANCE>>> $hit i do it... all dress to kill....U never know who u gonna bump into....

www.hip-clothing.com... Nuff said!

I have very bad luck with the ladies. I can get girls, but they always seem to leave for some reason. I am a nice guy and I don't smell or anything, so what's the problem :confused:

You just haven't found the right one.

The clothes make the man. One does need to be careful about clothing. I saw an engineer give a speech about alternative energy while he was wearing a very loud blazer with a silly tie. Nobody remembered what he said, just his loud outfit. You clothing should be of high quality, but should also be tempered such that they don't detract from your presence. I'm not very good at explaining this, but I've seen so many successful people use clothing as an asset and know it works.

I don't think it's gay. I try to look for cheap name brand clothing, but if i can't find good ones then i just find what i want. I mainly wear carpenter jeans and t-shirts, and white sneakers. Hair wise, just trim or shaved to my scalp lol :cool:

I think, being a guy, thats its cool to look good. But man, those Ambercrombie & Fitch people, ERRRR! I would love to beat them to death.
And ANY MAN who wears guci beside Guci himself is officially homo.
Xv7vX

I personally am quite fashion aware but if you're not, damn everybody else! I'm not gay but that doesn't matter either! I just happen to be concious of and careabout my appearance. To each his or her own:rolleyes:

Lol, I have 2 pairs of A & F khakis. The only reason I bought them though was because they were at a discount clothing store called "Burlington Brands" and they were 15 bux a pair. I would never buy them other than that. I don't care about the brand as long as it doesn't look like it would fall apart the first time you wash it.

Now, I voted NO, because I think its all right if a guy doesn't wanna go outside dressed like a 6 year old on Summer Vacation. But, there IS a line that's crossed when your buddy shows up ready to hit the Pub and you stare at his clothes and you tell him he doesn't match... If it extends past your own personal fashion and you start critiquing your friends gear, then you got a problem.... Ha ha!:bandit:

I agree it is important to have good taste..and fashion awareness..but gay men have a heightened awareness for fashion and that is a fact..So awareness and heightened awareness... that's where the difference lies..:)

I would have to disagree, My friend Ben one day told me that the longsleeve shirt I was wearing under my T-shirt didnt match, which I thought it did but oh well. Anyways, the fact that he says that doesnt make him gay. Hes got one of the most beautiful women I have EVER seen as his girlfriend as well, so if he's gay, Im gonna have to slap him in the face and ask him why he would be gay instead of having his current GF.

I am utterly stupified by this thread's staying power. http://students.washington.edu/leprakon/dtm-af/smilies/rofl.gif I can no longer deny my bicurious tendencies... :o

I'm aware of whatever is new and I want to look good for both myself and the ladies.:D

It's hard for me not to look good :hehehe:
