In recent times, it has been interesting to watch the changes, growth and recycling of fashion and style. Women have returned to the trends and styles that helped our mamas’ reel in our dear old dads-we find ourselves spotting red matte lips, bright colored tops and jeans, beautiful long braids, short, stretchy, figure hugging dresses, flowing patterned skirts, tights and the like. In fact, some of us look like we popped straight out of Alex Zitto's Walakolombo video (In a good way).
The men's fashion on the other hand has taken on a rather radical turn. Counting down from the more recent trends, first came the straight cut pants, the neat jackets and shirts and I thought "hmm...how nice, now we can cite a nice lean body a mile off"- A sight for sore eyes, I must say. Then came the V necked Tees. I mean "cleavage" showing V necked Tees that make any wearer look not so male, that is, if you could ignore the mass of ugly chest hair on display. I’m not even going to mention the bright colors the clothes now come in.
Then came the parade of men in downright skinny pants, (and I have often wondered where their man parts go since the pants are so unbelievably tight). To make it even worse, the ones with beer guts, fat behinds and love handles perfect for infants to sit on,have decided it would be a good idea to follow the trend and squeeze into boy sized clothing *GAGS*. The more daring ones pair the V necks with the skinny pants. That, coupled with the funny gait men generally have and the added awkwardness of wearing such

As if all these were not enough, I saw someone wearing what looked suspiciously like tights. Yes, tights, leggings!!! And homeboy was feeling all kinds of cool plus his “GUGGI” sunglasses at 8pm. Oh ye gods of fashion and style, what have we done to deserve this? Please take away this plague and we promise to be good!!! I fear to think what’s next. Skirts? Platform pumps? If I were to have a date who showed up in such annoying get up, date’s over in 5!
Whatever happened to Polos and regular straight jeans? Where did the dignified tailored suits in conservative colors go? What happened to proper leather loafers and sneakers? Who took away the non-cleavage/chest hair displaying tees? I want them back, that my eyes may live a long healthy life!

Lol! You couldn't have said it any better. The tights is just a bit extreme. Leaving their "package" to the imagination will do the world some good. Hurting our poor eyes with the extra tight jeans. My dear boyfriend is a victim of the skinny jeans craze and i absolutely HATE it!
