What do you think about men wearing women's clothes? (Androgynous look)

    Not cross dressing but wearing women's pieces, A$AP ROCKY and Matt Healy are two main examples.
    Matt Healy (from the 1975) wears women's blouses, sweaters and the odd time, women's jeans.

    ASAP was seen with a women's dress as a longline t with a shorter top over it and a Fear Of God Bomber jacket and a pair of Balmain Jeans.

    They don't really look feminine but Matt Healy has started pushing that boundary. But others like Young Thug just look eccentric.

    Probably won't be seen much in Ireland but what so you think about it?

    You spelled attention seeking wrong.

    That's all it is, plain and simple attention seeking.

    Who honestly gives a damn? If you like clothes, wear those clothes. If you don't, don't.

    Btw clothes are just clothes. How they are worn evolves and changes.

    High heels were originally worn by men.

    Women wearing trousers was a total scandal for a very long time.

    Women wearing ties was normal in the 1900's.

    Skirts were part of ceremonial battle dress.

    That's been going on for ages - sure in the grunge days didn't Cobain, Corgan, Dando et al wear dresses at times? Although they were reacting to the then perceived overly macho image of rock n roll.

    Kurt Cobain wasn't exactly known for androgynous look. It was more the look of someone who was so stoned he put his wife's clothing on by mistake. :D

    Anyway I am not a fan of trying to hard approach in any direction. When done well it is something I would admire from a distance but not really warm up to.

    He also wore eyeliner. And a ballgown on Headbanger's Ball (MTV show).

    Whatever makes them happy. Life is too short and happiness too rare to bother to ruin my own hard-earned composure worrying about other people's appearance.

    Some people get away with it especially young, slender men. It starts to look a little bit silly when you're hitting your mid 30s though.
