People often ask me, why I dress the way I do.
(I will upload pictures soon of what I wear).
I don't wear what the typical "Durban Boy", or frankly what most normal guys my age wear.
And why may this be? ...
Due to its generally all-year-around hot Climate, Durban guys usually wear Flip-Flops, Baggies, Vests, T-Shirts, all that that "Beach", sort of clothing.
I hate the heat, the beach really isn't for me and I will never ever ever ever ever wear a vest.
So, frankly, why would I wear something I hate?
The answer is simple, I dress the way I would like to see other people dressed.
Hence, why I always get stared at when I go to the mall. I don't dress like anyone else I know.
Whether that is good or bad, well I don't really care :). I am happy in my High waisted pants and coloured skinny jeans, and stare all you want :).
I don't understand why there is still divisions in what Men and Women wear, or in any reason for that matter.
For example: Why are there separate mens and women's bathrooms?
and: Why can't men wear dresses??
Men in Japan have been wearing Kimono's for Centuries, and Men in Scotland still wear Kilts.
Men in Medievel Europe wore tights and tops that come down to the knee, that could be considered being "Dress-Like", so why won't men now, and if Women have been wearing Pants since World War II, then what is the big deal with men in Dresses or Skirts?? I read in a Magazine recently that Marc Jacobs wears a pencil-skirt every now and then. What an awesome fellow.
I recently purchased a pair of High-Waisted pants. Nowadays I only ever see girls wearing them, but most girls don't pull them off properly. For a girl to wear high-wasited pants, she needs to have absolutely no curves what-so-ever, a tiny waist and really long legs, otherwise the high waist accentuates the waist and makes you look bigger, which is exactly what you don't want.
Hence, why they suit men. Men don't have curves and, whenever I have seen men wearing them in Vintage movies, they always look impeccable and very well tailored wearing them. (High waisted pants were popular for most of the 20th Century), but why won't men wear them now??
It boggles my mind, it really does. ...
I could carry this on for ages and ages, but I have had an exhausting week and I am a Sleepyhead :).
Hugs, Love and Other Drugs :)
