Do you really have to have a penis to know that mud brown combat boots are ugly?

@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - this comment made my night. 

Ooo, I like those boots! I also love combat boots in general. I’d probably tell them to shut up or else they’d get kicked with a boot baha.

@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - I think the boots are okay but your comment still made me LOL. I love you

forget the style.  if my man caught me spending over $70 on a single pair of shoes, he’d dump me for being financially irresponsible (and he’d be right, too).  

I think I’d only wear boots like that if I worked at a Game Reserve in Africa or something.

There are some trends that guys don’t get. Or rather, it’s not that they don’t ‘get’ them, they just think they’re ugly, for example, harem pants or gladiator sandals. In their defense though, I find some trends to be really ugly, too.

they do look out of place for casual wear and I’m picturing it being worn with a tomb raider outfit and she means serious business when she’s walking down the grocery aisle or wherever else to run errands, indiana jones style 

I’m guessing this question was to straight men since you can find plenty of gay men who can get “it”. As for those boots I’d have to see how they work with an outfit because alone I don’t really like them.

I could care less if men or women alike don’t understand fashion. I appreciate art in general and most men don’t see clothing as anything except something to shelter your naked body. Which is a fine enough point of view as long as they don’t give me shit for personaly believing it’s more then that.

way to generalize. some dudes like some fashions, some don’t. my boyfriend thinks big boots are sexy, but he hates wedges. *shrug* it varies.

I don’t care what guys (or girls) think of some of the fashion trends that I follow. I wear what I want . Also, the boots are pretty nice, I personally wouldn’t buy them for myself though.

Just because it’s a trend, doesn’t mean it’ll appeal to everybody, male or female.

What is there “to get?”

My boyfriend hates flowy peasant tops. He’s always all, “Don’t you need a belt or something?” He also says that my red winter coat makes me look like the crazy pigeon lady from “Home Alone 2.” But come to think of it, he’s probably right on that one.

Also? Yes. Those are Gestapo boots.

Uggs! I get they’re not a hot pair of stilettos but are they really that unbearable to look at? According to every guy I’ve ever met, they’re actually unsightly. When I slipped my beloved uggs on for the first time this season my boyfriend actually said “ogh not those, ogh they’re the worst.” It’s a shame men don’t find them remotely appealing because I’m never going to stop wearing those heavenly boots. hypnosis may have to be the next step for them.

I stopped caring what other people thought of my fashion choices in high school.  Men..or dudes don’t have to approve of my clothing.

I want to hear what guys think about leggings as pants! Also Uggs like @LeaK – my boyfriend says he doesn’t hate them, but what do the majority of guys think of them?

My boyfriend hates the stomach belts on woman. He calls them fat girl belts. Even though I am under 130lbs, if I try to wear a “fat girl belt” with an outfit he still questions me. He also hates flats. I guess its cause woman look frumpy if the are flat to the ground with no posture. I can understand though. I try to dress nice, but I love a damn pair of good fitting jeans, flip flops and a hoodie!

Probably depends on the woman’s body type though. I am an apple, so all my weight sits in my boobs and stomach area. I am 36-c but a small/extra small underwear size. I try to find stuff that is simple and flatters my breasts and draws little attention to my small thighs and legs as possible because then I would look disproportional.
Honestly though, most of the boots they make today are ugly as fuck. I personally don’t like combat style boots cause they just don’t seem feminine to me at all and I have no idea what they would match with other than cameos! 

I’ve always been a tomboy and resent dressing differently because somebody disapproves. I don’t waste brain matter worrying about others’ fashion opinions. Oh and the best investment I’ve ever made for my feet was a pair of steel-toed boots (I work outside) which cost $110. Quality costs.

Not to sound negative… 

My boyfriend hates red lipstick and super high heels. I agree with him personally. Other than that, he’s not picky as long as I don’t dress like a total hoe. I value his opinion in what I wear. He’s my best friend and my lover and my soul-mate. 

guys usually like feminine clothes on women

Why don’t guys like some girl fashion trends? I have two answers:

1. We wear some pretty stupid looking stuff.

2. Why don’t girls like some guy fashion trends?

*sidenote* Why would you make fun of someone for growing up in an equestrian community?

My husband totally hates when I wear huge tent shirts or sweaters. I got the sweetest L.A.M.B. sweater on super-sale a month ago and he says it’s as bad as harem pants. I totally disagree but I don’t care! I wear it and love it —-

My boyfriend hates anything lace. Or anything too complex lol. I think most guys don’t like “fashionable” trends for that reason… guys are simple. That’s why a lot of guys love a girl in a plain white shirt and jeans. They don’t like anything that complicates the female figure.

@eindomitus@xanga - Those sound like bad ass boots!

Just so you know, I’m with your boyfriend on this one. They look like riding boots. Doc Martens are combat boots. Army surplus boots are combat boots. These are not. They also aren’t worth $150.

I think it’s so obvious what boys like and don’t like about girls’ dress. It’s so easy to dress for a boy if you want to. I really don’t understand when girls don’t understand why their ugly ass fashion trend is unappealing to boys for the most obvious reason.

@Ashley Nicole Anders@facebook - that’s not really that impressive.  most of my shoes are from Payless or thrift stores.  one pair of Payless flats is going on its sixth year.  

@ShimmerBodyCream@xanga - Mud brown combat boots are only as ugly as the rest of your outfit.

I get compliments from guys all the time on my combat boots? I usually wear them with really feminine tops or coats. But I’m also 25, 5’4″ and 90 lbs so not too many things make me look masculine lol.

@too_pretty_to_die@xanga - Payless shoes are cheap and make my feet ache. Their flats are usually  not that sturdy, you get what you pay for. Yeah, I’ve had a pair of heels from there for almost seven years now, but I never wear them because they hurt like hell and their cheap-ass material scuffs so easily. I’d rather shell out more money for comfortable, quality shoes. You can keep the cheap stuff. My $80 leather Born flats are soft as butter but still made well enough to give me a little arch support and not make my feet scream in agony after a few short hours. They’ve paid for themselves. I guess it comes down to, would you rather have a whole bunch of cheaply made shoes that won’t show your feet any love and look crappy after a year or so, or a few pairs that you dropped a bit of money on but they’re all nicely made and going to keep your feet happy for a long time?

Leggings and big sunglasses are two things at the top of my head that some men don’t like. I don’t really care though, as long as I feel good, I look good.

I didn’t think yours were ugly but I probably wouldn’t wear them with anything other than jeans.

Fashion is for women, not men. That’s why none of the models look like they could birth a baby.

Why exactly would the fact certain people men or otherwise don’t like something I wear matter to me? If I like stompy boots or certain types of tops I wear them because I like them. If a guy or girl I was with didn’t like something I wore it wouldn’t really matter to me. I mean I’m sure I won’t always agree with their sense in fashion or other things.

I used to have a boyfriend who hated me wearing anything sleeveless or v-necked or basically anything that showed of any part of my figure because he took it as I wanted other people to find me attractive. It got to the point we got in hour or longer shouting matches about what I was wearing out in places. I wear things because I like how I look in them and last I checked I don’t dress to impress anyone but myself.

I know fashion is suppose to be all about pleasing society and what not, but I think it works a lot better if you just go with what you like and what you think looks good on yourself. Don’t let anyone else tell you what you should look like.

The guy I’m into wears a jean jacket and a American flag polo shirt on a regular basis and he totally rocks them despite the fact that according to one of my friends. “The seventies called and they want their jacket back.” I mean I did playfully tease him about the polo the first time I saw it, but he looks dashingly handsome in it. It just suited him and you could tell it was just very much him. Much like my cheetah print creepers which I get a lot of love and a lot of wtfs over I think are very much me.

I don’t know I see fashion as a means of expressing one’s self. Maybe that’s just my sort of unpopular opinion, but it stands.

It’s pretty simple.
Fashion designers are not exactly made up of majorly of heterosexual men.
A lot of transient fashion trends are not objectively flattering for females.

@an_age_of_dreams@xanga - Fashion is for prestigious gay men, actually, which is why most runway and fashion models look like adolescent boys/transsexuals. (ATTN EVERYONE: I’m not dissing gays. I love gays. I’m just saying that that’s how it is)

I mean, look at Molly Sims and Heidi Klum… 2 big ones, for example. Take away all the makeup and hair products/extensions as well as the breast implants, and really look at their faces, then at their body structures.

@jessicaxmaria - that sweater is SO cute!

@robasauruss@xanga - thanks!

Most guys find most women attractive when they play into their gender “role”.  Not rocket science.

guys like simple, feminine clothes: things that look put together. tight enough to show you’re a woman, but loose enough to show you’re a lady. My boyfriend always likes when I wear clothes from j.crew. He LOVES my tall brown riding boots (NOT combat) and always mentions how cute I look whenever I wear my white polo cap when i’m wearing casual or athletic clothing. He also loves sundresses.

However my boyfriend doesn’t stand for the entire boy population… he wears polo or lacoste every day which probably explains why he likes the classic / preppy look more. 

my husband hates all the the loose baggy clothes that seem to be every where in stores right now. he say’s it does absolutely nothing for a woman’s body except make her look bigger, like she’s got something to hide underneath all that loose fabric

I dress for myself, not for guys, but I’m always curious to know what they think.  One day I asked my boyfriend what women’s fashion he doesn’t like.  His answer:  capris (he thinks they look like “confused shorts”), belts worn over shirts/tunics, and scarves (unless you’re wearing them outside to keep warm). 

Egh my ex was all into fashion lol. Not in a metro kind of way, but he appreciated women’s fashion. He just didn’t like Uggs like many of my guy friends. I’m not a huge fan of them either. 

I have never had an issue with my bf and my clothing, he doesn’t care what I wear, and I am happy with this. 

I do like those boots but not for everyday use. I like steampunk and those boots would go great with my steampunk getup. 

My boyfriend hates nude heels!! Though I don’t own a pair, I’ve been wanting one! He also doesn’t like any bright red nail polish and make up in general.

Haha I have a BRIGHT pink pair of  lace up vans that i’ve worn since high school. I bust them out when I feel bubbly (like always) and my bf hates them.  He’s way more into fashion than I am.  I like jeans and sweaters, but he would prefer me wearing  a tunic top with leggings and flats or some crap. Idk, to each his own.

I like asking guys for their opinions on fashion because they are always straight to the point and I appreciate that. 

I find generally guys don’t like anything that’s impractical. like a huge belt that’s not even going through belt loops, but just sitting on your waist looks adorable, but boys would probably find it pointless haha

I could also see why they don’t like the combat boots. as a girl I know some girls can pull them off and look cute, but as someone who can’t pull them off I can see why they think they’re too “manly” for girls haha

it’s really how you put yourself together. 

First time I saw my wife in an airport in Las Vegas she had on a skirt and black combat boots.  Man alive, I feel in love fast!

(oh yeah, I’m a guy by the way)

Now she bought some doc martan high top solid gold combat boot looking boots and I love those too.

If a woman can put the right look together that suits herself, that’s the main thing.  when she tries to copy what is or isn’t the newest look, thats when things can go down hill fast.

Brown or black boots are badass. 

And im a heterosexual male 

@AshleyK - Leggings on girls are fine just as long as you can pull them off, but choose your colors wisely, dont you guys usually wear like black ones or something? Dont make it look like they were something you just threw on, pair them with those short dresses or a loose shirt. Its kinda weird tho that girls will wear them to the gym and as regular pants. idk..

I personally dig the ugg boots look with like sweatpants, but not all the time..
