The 7 women's fashion items that men hate
You may have noticed the short trousers (cropped kick flares, in fashion
terms) Theresa May wore at the Tory Party Conference this week. You may have
thought, "Good for you, TM, some fashion-forward trews". More likely you did a
double take, tried to defend her ringing the changes ("She's got the legs for
it") and then gave up, because frankly they did look all wrong.
I tell you who will not have appreciated these trousers, and that is men.
Some, after suppressing the urge to shout "Kirk to Enterprise!" might have tried
to get their head around them. The rest will have been thinking: "Aren't they
too short? (Answer: yes)" or. "Are those culottes? I hate culottes." The
overwhelming response will have been bafflement because cropped flares are
firmly in the category of Clothes Men Will Never Like (excepting architects and
people working in fashion).
The items on this list barely vary from one decade to the next. Women's taste
in fashion changes and adapts but men's doesn't budge: they have a fixed
shortlist of things that provoke a visceral negative reaction, and another list
of things they like, without knowing why.This must be connected to anxieties
about rogue dental assistants, Nurse Ratched, and memories of colonoscopies. We
think they're fresh and Swedish, but men genuinely find them disturbing. On the
plus side, they really like anything khaki and militaryesque, particularly
jumpsuits (it's a Hot Lips thing, or possibly a Maverick/Goose thing).
