Maybe a Scotsman forgot his Kilt. It looks like the fashion this year may begin requiring us guys to shave our legs too. But how much CO2 will poison the Mother Earth from all the new men's shaving supplies factories? Someone alert the NYT's ecology desk.
And indeed there will be time To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?" Time to turn back and descend the stair, With a bald spot in the middle of my hair— [They will say: "How his hair is growing thin!"] My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin, My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin— [They will say: "But how his arms and legs are thin!"] Do I dare Disturb the universe?

… T. S. Eliot, from The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
I used to have a recurring dream in which, no matter what the situation, I always, somehow, unwittingly managed to become dressed just like that handsome fellow in the photo. But, in none of the dreams was I ever a judge.
I don't have those dreams anymore since I quit drinking.
OT - Who wants to join a Tea Party? If you go over to Instapundit and scroll down there is a long list of Tea Parties to be held in most major cities in the Northeast, Midwest, Southeast, West Coast, etc. Most of the Tea Parties will be held tomorrow and some on Saturday. You wanna send Commiebama a message? Show up!
This is what you do if you find yourself in a business casual setting and no pants. You can't leave your shirt untucked because that would be sloppy. You just tuck your shirt into your same color underwear and voila.
He kind of looks like an alien from Star Trek TOS. Proabably one with a really screwed up homeworld. Maybe a bizarro Earth, wear the women have beards and you wear you underwear outside your pants.
The guy is a good looking fellow, but that is just gross. Does it do anything for you guy liking guys? Because it's just repulsive from this side of things. Ugh!
Firstly, guys should not shave their legs. Secondly, that picture with hair? *shudder*.
The people who put on such things aren't really proposing that real people dress that way...on the street?
It's a show to impress people who know fashion and want to see something different. Some of the stuff in the show may not ever be sold in a shop, but designs based on what you see may.
Sometimes just one or two pieces from the outfit may end up being sold. As you mentioned, the underwear might be sold all by itself. Designer underwear certainly has a market in the gay community.
Sometimes NONE of the clothing is intended to make a profit. The designer may make money selling a fragrance or accessory, but not the actual clothes which very few can afford.
If anyone wants to see more, a slide show of other looks from this collection is available here. A video of highlights is available here. (They mysteriously left the "underwear as pants" look out of the highlights video.)
"Oh, excuse me. Just stepped out to get the paper. Don't mean to interrupt."
"Hi, Tom. Out to get the paper, I see. Just bringing Milly out for a potty... Oh! A fashion show? Here? Oh, how embarrassing. Excuse us. So sorry. We'll go back inside."

Actually, I see kids wearing pajamas to school sometimes. So "pajamas as clothes" may be an actual trend that catches on. It's the logical endpoint to the casual clothing trend.

"Lighten up! It's just fashion!"
One of my all-time favorite PR moments, and my most favorite Santino moment!

With knee pads that look might just work.
Why no sandals with those socks though?
Would this be better or worse in a different color?

He's wearing a Onesie™!
I'll wear it. I'll send you pictures too...
Maybe a Scotsman forgot his Kilt.
He's overdressed for that possibility.
Would this be better or worse in a different color?
DO NOT get it in white. You don't need people looking at your train tracks when you're walking around, if you know what I mean.
Or you could wear heavy wool pants and nothing above the waist, except gloves and a wool cap.
Did Mugatu have a... hand in this?
At least they're not shorts, right?
I didn't get a good look at the shoes, but the rest of it looks suitable for running.
This might prove useful in rougher neighborhoods.
And indeed there will be time

hmmm...skid mark camo!...sweet!
Are we looking at the manly waxing of a swimmer or a Neeted metrosexual?
I see you posted this 3 minutes before I made note of it in the "Dreams" comment thread... The Force is Strong in This One.
A dork in shorts is a dork, of course
And no one can talk to a dork, of course
That is, of course, unless the dork is the famous Mr. Head.
Go right to the source and ask the dork
He's wearing a wardrobe Ann won't endorse
His legs are much too hairy and course
Talk to Mr. Head.
People yakkity yak a streak and waste your time of day
But Mr. Head will never speak unless he's on display.
A dork in shorts is a dork, of course
Even a dork that drives a Porsche
You never heard of a dork in shorts?
Well listen to this
I am Mr. Head.
Look, it looks dumb enough on babies. Why on grown men now?
What is Obama going to do to fix this?!?!
If Mort were awake he would say that asking us to "Lighten up" is racist.
As a person of pallor I think being told to "Lighten up!" is racist!
I used to have a recurring dream in which, no matter what the situation, I always, somehow, unwittingly managed to become dressed just like that handsome fellow in the photo. But, in none of the dreams was I ever a judge.
I don't have those dreams anymore since I quit drinking.
Obama is right; the economy is horrible. They couldn't even afford to make pants for this fashion show!
You call that a man?

Real men don't go to tea parties. That's for girls. We stay home and play with our GI Joes.

Whatever happened to the Eldridge Cleaver pants?
" Trooper York said...

LOL!
" Theo Boehm said...
I'm sure if Sir Archy were alive, he'd have something to say about this."
If Sir Archy were alive and saw this, we could get the first picture ever of a Victorian Era man facepalming.
Surely you jest!
No, and don't call me Shirley.
I'm sure if Sir Archy were alive he'd have something to say about this.
Alive? He's a ghost!
That Althouse is such a copy cat. Now I guess we are going to have a bunch of celebrity camel toe photo's. Only of dudes. Man that is so 2008.
Now I guess we are going to have a bunch of celebrity camel toe photo's. Only of dudes.
Now that you mention it, I wonder if the outfit comes with an extra sock.
Why the Shorts tag?

I still have mine from the late 60's/early 70's.
Real guns are more fun.
Wait a minute. The GI Joe I bought in 1968 had a real gun. And nunchucks.

Don't wear a cape with this outfit; people will think you can then stop bullets -- and it won't be true!
Just fashion? Grounds for divorce!
It's like an anxiety dream, where you are in public with no clothes on.
I look at the model and imagine him speaking with a German accent.
My name ist Frahnz.
I haf lost my pahntz.
Now you see my schvahnts.
He kind of looks like an alien from Star Trek TOS. Proabably one with a really screwed up homeworld. Maybe a bizarro Earth, wear the women have beards and you wear you underwear outside your pants.
I'm pretty sure he's in the Hung-arian army.
AYIEEEEE!!!
My eyes, my eyes!
I am proud to say I turned Ann on to this fashion disaster. And disaster it is. I mean, how dare he wear such tall socks with that!
Don't wear a cape with this outfit; people will think you can then stop bullets -- and it won't be true!
The voice of experience, eh, Ron?
Right, the black socks. What he needs to complete the ensemble is a pair of sandals!
This is the solution to the longtime problem of what to wear when all of you is cold except for your knees and thighs.
Freeman Hunt:
Dustless black pepper!!!
(Freeman Hunt's the thread-winner, IMHO.)
Wouldn't "dustless black pepper" be a great tag?
The guy is a good looking fellow, but that is just gross. Does it do anything for you guy liking guys? Because it's just repulsive from this side of things. Ugh!
Firstly, guys should not shave their legs. Secondly, that picture with hair? *shudder*.

Probably the Hung-aryan Army.
Dustless black pepper!!!
Ha--exactly! Maybe the same company makes both.
Proof once again that with enough money and/or passing fame, you can get someone to do whatever the hell you want.
I actually like it.
The guys hot too.
Eldridge was a classmate of mine. He wore something different.
"As a person of pallor . . ."
Person of pallor. Ha, ha. I like it.
I'm sorry I'm hopelessly square, but...
The people who put on such things aren't really proposing that real people dress that way...on the street?
I mean, it's just a goofy thing someone who designs underwear or socks did for publicity, right?
"The people who put on such things aren't really proposing that real people dress that way...on the street?

Yup. It worked too!
I have to say I'd beat up any man I saw wearing that in public. But that fine young man would be welcome wearing that at my house anytime.
A little smooth, however. Stop the waxing, dear. You're a man, after all.

I am a piece of copper pipe.
"It's not my fault. Me mummy accidentally bleached the top half!"
"No, no, this isn't your Aunt Mildred. It's me, Steve!"
"My neck, it's just been so cold, you know?"
"So my personal trainer is telling me that I can't skip the lower body workouts and be in proportion, but I just really don't like them."
"Well, see there was this great big Sharpie..."
"Grrr."
"My grandmother, you know, she knits. Really too bad bad about the color blindness though."
"As for me, I think Daryl's taking the MMORPGs a bit too seriously these days."
Punk Vulcan.
"So my personal trainer is telling me that I can't skip the lower body workouts and be in proportion, but I just really don't like them."
I'd laugh (hysterically) except I think these models create unrealistic body expectations for boys!
You women with your love of skinny men!
"Yeah, but you don't think it's a bit fey or something, do you?"
"No, I don't know anyone named Meade, and I certainly didn't steal his pants!"
"I've been trying to go a little bulkier up top. Fill out the chest and all that."
"I don't know what happened. I remember thinking that I really liked the pattern, but then I got home and..."
"Do you have a highlighter I can borrow?"
"I'm not! It's not a skirt if it's split into two legs!"
"You might as well face it, you're addicted to love."
"Yeah, I've got your f#$%in' highlighter right here!"
Freeman's laughing now, but she'll be dying to wear this come fall.
"I ran out of sequins, but you get the idea."
"Oh, excuse me. Just stepped out to get the paper. Don't mean to interrupt."
"Hi, Tom. Out to get the paper, I see. Just bringing Milly out for a potty... Oh! A fashion show? Here? Oh, how embarrassing. Excuse us. So sorry. We'll go back inside."
she'll be dying to wear this come fall.
For the girl who's both a fashionista and professional children's birthday party entertainer...
"No, I'm just a really confident person that's all."
"Oh, excuse me. Just stepped out to get the paper. Don't mean to interrupt."
Actually, I see kids wearing pajamas to school sometimes. So "pajamas as clothes" may be an actual trend that catches on. It's the logical endpoint to the casual clothing trend.
Oh, and for everyone who hates shorts on men, I've seen them pushing cuffed shorts on men, and that can look ten times worse.
I own the thong version of this outfit. Same color. More cheek.
Among the many other horrors here is the model himself. He has a very masculine face completely undone by those hideous birdlegs.
He needs to fire his trainer and replace him with someone who will work on the whole body, legs too.
blake said...I'd laugh (hysterically) except I think these models create unrealistic body expectations for boys!
You women with your love of skinny men!
Don't be a jealous fatty. Those grotesquely ugly male models Freeman posted were selected by male homosexuals to display their designs.
Models in the Western world are usually some kind of sick joke.
I blame it on White homos and old White women, both of whom fear voluptuous, athletic, fertile, life affirming bodies.
They prefer this Night of the Living Dead/Star Wars bar collection of creatures.
My mom is a genious!:)
Nice legs!
