A Tough Demeanor Doesn't Hurt 04/19/2010
We're going to round out our masculinity series over the next few days with a look at some great ads that have come out recently. These definitely flout the metro-sexual trend, reinforcing the image of men being manly. And some style vignette's from GQ. How delicious was Clint back then? I ask you! "Style like that trumps fashion." I love that! Coco made a similar sentiment and it always rings true. I also love the line, "Eastwood's just been Eastwood." As women, we are a major style force in our men's lives, be they husbands, sons, fathers, brothers or boyfriends. I sometimes hear women joking about (belittling!) their husband's style when they think their man should dress differently. And yet if their man were to do the same to them - the punishment would be swift and severe. Don't even try to deny it. Most men admit they don't follow fashion trends but DO want to look stylish in clothes that flatter them. He wants to look good for YOU! So sincere compliments when he looks great, paired with subtle and soft corrections when something isn't flattering or doesn't fit his personality, will quickly have your man looking his very best with his own style. Everything he owns will be a great option, as if he has always dressed this well- just Eastwood being Eastwood. CommentsKristen 06/10/2010 15:25
Okay, I am duly chastised. Personally I don't like to have to buy various kinds of soap, but my husband is always complaining about things smelling too girly. Well, it is a girl doing the shopping so what does he expect?! But I will suck it up and get him the manly kind. Working Mommy 06/10/2010 15:33
I am with Elizabeth...DH is so much better at being a manly-man...even though sometimes I worry about how that will rub off on The Babe-especially since I was a bit of a tom-boy myself!! 06/10/2010 15:40
