Last week, I found this article. Apparently, men hate wedges more than they hate Crocs. Yeah, I didn't believe it either. So I took to Twitter and low and behold, guys came out of the woodwork to tell me all the things wrong with wedges. My friend Taylor from Social Primer chimed in and quite the debate ensued. So that got me thinking, what else do guys hate that we love?! So, with some trepidation, Taylor agreed to put a list together for #ModernMagnolias.
**NOTE: This post is in no way intended to make you feel bad about any outfit choices you've made or to deter you from future outfit choices. This is merely an exploration into the thought process that goes on in the male mind. But boys are stupid so who knows? And remember-
Enjoy! xx
--------------------
Women, men don’t understand you. In all fairness we would
probably still mess it up even if Apple were to release an iMindReader.
Although we can never hope to understand you, we know what we do and don’t like
about you. Whether or not we share it, most men have a strong opinion about many
things you care about, especially when it comes to appearance.
To make it easy, I created a sort of Not Top 10. How thoughtful of me, I know...
10. Rompers
A
wise man once said that, “No grown woman should ever be romping around in a
romper.” I find rompers very confusing considering they were designed for
toddlers. I’m not sure when or why they made the leap into 20-something’s
closets, but a onesie has no place is a woman’s closet as it reads childish and
lazy.
9. CrAzY nAiLs
I’m all for artistic expression and everything, but it’s
safe to say that I speak for every man when I tell you to stop with the Jackson
Pollock nail jobs. Holiday’s included. Colors are fine to a degree, but
everything in moderation.
8. Wedge Heels
Wedges
were the foundation for this article’s topic (pun intended) and almost started
a revolt on Twitter when first mentioned. I get that they are easier to walk
in, but I’m of the tribe that you either wear heels (which you can walk
properly in) or you don’t at all. To be honest, I’d rather you just send all of
these overseas because there’s just something about a woman in heels…
7. High Waisted Shorts
Sure
everyone wants to go be free at Bonnaroo and live out their hippie fantasy, but
the reality is that’s the only place where girls can actually look good in them
(the cool guy with the Pez dispenser may have something to do with that). Trust
me on this one girls.
6. "Norts" and an XL T-Shirt
This TSM may be the worst thing to hit college campuses since Adderall.
If whole chapters of sorority sisters haven’t already loaded up buses to hunt
me down, they have just put down their cooler crafting supplies to pick up
pitchforks and torches. I’m sure it’s comfortable, but I wouldn't even wear
sweatpants in the privacy of my own home. You have to draw the line in the sand
somewhere.
5. Asymmetrical Dresses
One-Shoulder
Dresses/Mullet Dresses/Hi-Low Dresses- whatever. Guys are simple beings. If you mess with
something as basic as symmetry, you’ve already lost us before we’re even out
the door.
4. Too Much Make-Up
If
you want to have cake face, go to a Steve Aoki concert. Otherwise keep it
simple, light and natural. There is a fine eye pencil line between enough and too
much.
3. Bubble Necklaces
I
bet you have a Pinterest page don’t you…
2. Yoga Pants/Leggings
In
the words of R. Kelly, “My mind is tellin’ me no, but my body, my body is
tellin’ me yesssss.” Although I bio-chemically agree with everything that yoga
pants and leggings represent, there comes a point where it becomes redundant-
like seeing a girl wear them every single day. Not including the fact that
these are especially tricky in that though they may be comfortable, it is
unfortunately easy to look as if you were poured into them.
1. Chevron
Just
so you understand, this is the only Chevron we will ever care about. Also the
reason the creator of Pinterest should be tried for human rights violations.
Seriously ladies, enough with the Chevron.
Please don't hurt me.
