A wardrobe of men

posted by:

The name of this blog site is named after the word fashion. Fashion is defined a prevailing custom or style of dress, etiquette, socializing, etc.: the latest fashion in dresses. Or it can also mean the conventional usage in dress, manners, etc., especially of polite society, or conformity to it; the dictates of fashion; to be out of fashion. The definitions are direct quotations from the online dictionary but when it comes to men as fashion, the definition will be this whole entry. Read it only if you are game for some controversial thoughts! No, if you are not open to having wild random thoughts, this is probably not a very good entry for you ;)

Now, how do we look at the whole situation where men become items or some form of dresses that we can pick and use according to whichever function or events that we intend to attend. When it comes to men-fashion, there should not be any rule or dictation that constraint what we want to put on for the day and how we want to dress them. No one could say this is right or wrong, no one could rule out with the tapestry and announce how this piece of jewelery can be worn.

Isn’t it liberating to wake up every morning, and knowing you can open up the wardrobe and make the best selection for the day, sometimes more than a selection in a day; say a sundress for the afternoon and an evening gown for a ball or dance event. No matter how fine certain material is, sometimes we just prefer to put on baggy clothes and stay put at home. Not enough! When we get sick of thinking what to wear, we can always go for our birthday suit when we sleep or walk around in the house. This is truly a no-string-attached business. Again, who would care or to be more precise, who could actually care?

We bid them in e-bay, we buy them from boutiques, we exchanged with our girlfriends and sometimes, we get them for free. When we get tired of them, we donate them to The Salvation Army or we leave them outside our house and see who would pick them. If we are the sentimental ones, we then keep them in our wardrobe, far end or in a box that is sealed and kept in a store room, probably in the basement, a place where we don’t normally hang out.

Now, you must be frowning as you read this entry and probably are thinking what the **** fefe is doing with this entry. No respect at all towards men and values system. Now what I can say is this is just an entry of how men can become a form of fashion in our lives; just as how we allow our fantasy to hover around celebrities’ shoes or dresses. Some are within our reach, but some will always remain as a form of fashion fantasy with some minor realization that can be reflected with some adaptations or changes done to our dresses or wardrobe. This explains why some articles offer views for female readers to dress up like a celebrity under RM100 for example.

I gather men-fashion wardrobe is probably one of the million items that women would want to have in our life, but how many can actually afford such fashionable lifestyle?
