Fashion Trends Men Hate

Women often believe that following trends is everything they need to be fashionable, stylish and attractive for… other women. Men don’t take fashion as seriously. They like when we are dressed well, but what does it mean? As a rule, it means that clothing should fit well and look feminine, because men like us for our femininity.

Plenty of trends we consider essential for our wardrobes seem absolutely horrible to the stronger half of the humanity. Not to sound proofless I’ll name 7 items (which are on the list of the current fashion trends) men think are total turn-offs according to a survey conducted by the website MSN.

#1 Dungarees. A dungaree might be comfortable but women will no way look feminine in it. Breasts, waist and hips are hardly accentuated and a lady does resemble a builder in this garment.

#2 Jumpsuits. Two facts annoy men about jumpsuits: they make us look shapeless and we spend more time in the bathroom.

A man commented:

They’re the ultimate in women-dressing-forother-women. Confusing and overly clever. At best you look like a toddler, at worst like my mum in the Seventies.’

#3 Harem Pants. Yves Saint Laurent was the first to design these three years ago and since then harem pants have been churned out by every high street label. Men despise the pants because no contours of our bodies are visible and a-filled-nappy look isn’t very appealing.

#4 Tuxedos. Women often think that they look in suits and tuxedos better than men but men have a different opinion. They want to see our figures rather than masculine shoulders and classy pants.

#5 Gladiator Sandals are comfy to wear but they take so much time to put on and take off. This irritates men. And many straps all over our legs make us appear shorter.

#6 Leggings. Women love leggings but men don’t. First, because no mystery is left with those. Every contour is revealed. And second, leggings are popular with ladies of all shapes, that means chubby girls will wear them, too.

Even Cheryl Cole shouldn’t wear leggings,’ one man said. ‘They are too council estate, too comfy. Once a woman gets used to wearing an elasticated waist, there’s no going back.

#7 Ugg Boots. These have been called the most repulsive footwear a woman can ever wear. They don’t have a sexy sound of a clicking heel and they look unflattering. Besides, women tend to don them in any kind of weather.

One of respondents said:

There is no toe cleavage, no ankle. They smell pretty bad, too.”

So, dear girls, now you know what men think about fashion trends. Do you still want to follow those?

The Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Fashion

The Top 10 Most Innovative Companies in Fashion

01 / Burberry »

For breathing new life into a luxury stronghold. Burberry has not only emerged as one of the best-designed and most successful luxury brands, but also the most technologically advanced. Last year, the fashion house live-streamed its runway show in 3-D and offered an unprecedented 72-hour presale to consumers worldwide.

02 / Opening Ceremony »

For building a global brand that still feels exclusive. Opening Ceremony continued its takeover of all things hip in 2010 when it opened a second New York location at the Ace Hotel (shops also exist in Tokyo and Los Angeles). Founders Humberto Leon and Carol Lim are also responsible for moving popular brands to the U.S. market, including Havaianas, Acne, and Topshop, as well as becoming an authority on design collaborations, working with designers and creatives from Levi's to Chloe Sevigny to Spike Jonze.

03 /RentTheRunway

For being the Netflix for dresses (and handbags and accessories). In just a year, its website has attracted 750,000 members (adding 20,000 a week) and built personal relationships with more than 100 designer brands, including Proenza Schouler, Nina Ricci, and Alice+Olivia, offering dresses to fashion-obsessed consumers nationwide--a four day rental costs just 10% of the retail cost. The company's revenue for 2010 is estimated at $6 million, and is expected to grow to more than $20 million in 2011.

04 / J.Crew

For redefining affordable American style. Following the successful openings of The Liquor Store and The Men's Shop in New York (which feature limited-edition items like Red Wing boots, Thomas Mason shirts, vintage finds such as Timex watches, and a suiting shop), the company has continued to spread its message with a series of specialty boutiques. Last summer, the company launched the much anticipated e-commerce site for women's brand Madewell, and in September it debuted an innovative and risky online outlet store--open only on the weekends--complete with chat-ready personal shoppers.

05 / Createthe Group

For being the behind-the-scenes player helping such luxury brands as Stella McCartney, Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, Tory Burch, and many others to create a strong online presence. Fusing a strong tech team with a passionate creative team, the company offers e-commerce solutions and original advertising campaigns. CreateThe Group's work has resulted in a 30% increase in online sales for David Yurman, tripled repeat visitors to Juicy Couture's website (and created a company-specific social network), and doubled traffic to Oscar de La Renta's site.

06 / IMG

For being the power broker behind nearly every Fashion Week worldwide. New York Fashion Week, for example, is responsible for bringing $770 million worth of economic activity to the Big Apple, and IMG successfully upgraded the event in 2010 by moving it to Lincoln Center and adding digital invitations and check-ins, better accessibility for attendees, improved design of the runway theaters to offer advanced production capabilities, and a presentation space to attract more up-and-coming designers.

07 / 3.1 Phillip Lim

For its nimbleness in the burgeoning Asian market, both on the manufacturing end and in sales. The brand, led by Lim and CEO Wen Zhou--both of whom are Chinese--celebrated its fifth anniversary in October with a runway show on Beijing's Forbidden City Wall. Featuring all Asian models, it was the first time an international designer of Lim's generation ever showed in the country.

08 / Forever 21

For giving the low-price chain a high-end sensibility. Sisters Linda and Esther Chang (28 and 23, respectively), daughters of the founders, have used their perch running the marketing and visual departments to make changes such as merchandising departments based on trend. Thanks to their input, the company made some of its biggest moves in 2010, including a maternity and plus-size line for the now $2 billion company.

09 / Monique Péan

For being an eco-friendly jewelry designer. Pean, a 2009 CFDA Fashion Fund winner, handcrafts pieces from materials such as farmed pearls and beads made of recycled crushed oyster shells, buffalo horn, woolly mammoth tusk and walrus ivory (all of which are fossilized and obtained through naturally melting glaciers).

10 / QVC

For becoming so much more than television trunk shows. The $7.4 billion retailer has become a multiplatform company, with one-third of all sales done through its website. By teaming with high-profile celebrities including Rachel Zoe, the Kardashian sisters, and Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant, QVC is reaching a younger and more tech-savvy audience.

FIAT 500 Collaborate with GUCCI

2011-05-31T17:27:00.000-07:00

There are so many cars with fake designer prints either on the seats or even the body work, but just recently for the first time Gucci collaborates with FIAT to celebrate Gucci's 90th birthday.

The car will then be displayed around the world before going on sale in July. UK prices are yet to be set, but the 500 by Gucci costs from €17,000 (£14,500) in Italy.

Alongside the car’s launch, Gucci has also created a fashion collection, which includes travel accessories, leather goods, clothes, sunglasses and a watch, which will be available in select Gucci stores from April.
