Trends & News: Go Paint the Town Red!

October 29th // 1 Comment

Single ladies, take note! Move that little black dress to the back of your closets, and break out that fierce, sexy, red one! A new study conducted by the University of Rochester suggests that men prefer women in red because of the color’s ability to trigger primal insticts that associate it with sex.

The study involved a series of experiments in which men were shown a photo of a ‘moderately attractive’ young woman. Read the full article here.

Fellas, don’t worry…the study didn’t leave you out either. Apparently, the research also suggested that men are just as irresistible to women when wearing the fiery color.

Are we surprised by this? Hasn’t red always been considered the color of passion and romance?

Share your thoughts!

Love,

Men’s Fashion: Mantyhose: Hot or Not?

October 28th // 14 Comments
There’s a new trend in menswear appropriately nicknamed, “mantyhose” (see below).

mantyhose

Mantyhose is a hybrid term, created to describe the masculine form of traditional women’s tights (pantyhose). As all of us ladies know, “skinny” sillhouettes (leggings, skinny jeans, tights) have been a super-hot trend for quite some time now. Thousands of fashionable males love the skinny jeans look, so it only makes sense that designers would take the trend a step further into leggings- for- men territory.
This isn’t the first time we’ve seen traditional female-wear translated to menswear–mandals, murses, and a slew of beauty products have contributed to the very lucrative gender-bending business. Products like “guyliner” and “manscara” have been flying off the racks thanks to high-profile endorsements from beauty-conscious celebrities such as Fall Out Boy member, Pete Wentz.

Guys, I want to hear from you on this one! Would you (or do you) wear mantyhose? Would you (or do you) wear any of these trends?

Is this a great movement in men’s fashion, or are mantyhose taking the gender-bending trend a step too far?
Love,
Loren
