Hi,
I think perhaps one of the reasons men dont want to stand out in fashion is
because they are afraid that it would give them a gayish image. This is one
of the major reasons today i think.
50 years ago it was not the case i think because then gay people still lived
in their closets.
Back in time, i dont think that the wife would go with her husband to his
tailor to make choises for him. The tailor would have ben his guide!

Yes, and i keep trying to convice my husband tio wear that stuff, but he
says since he put on the years to get a phd, he does not have to wear
that, and so i have to subsite on him in khakies :(
Now, to bring this back onto a historical note, I have a thought question.
I was talking to some guys at work (older) and they siad that they had
never bought cloths for themselfs, their wifes had always boght their
clothes.
So, how much of what guys wore over the centries has been what they wanted
to wear, and how much of it was chosen by thier womanfolks?
A;sp. it seems like many modern guys dislike "dressing up" per say (say
tux and such) and the popular image is that women like to dress up more
then guys. has this always been the popular image?
