How Would You Dress if you were the opposite gender?

No, no, no! A good haircut will grow out and maintain a neat appearance while a bad haircut will just become shabby in two weeks.

Yeah, but a lot of older men who still have hair go the Wildroot route. My dad had beautiful silver hair - and a decent amount of it till the day he died- but he'd slick it straight back off his face with Wildroot. Laughing

You could see the mark from his head on the back of 'his' easy chair. My sisters and I used to beg him to give that stuff up - but he never did.

So even if they get a decent haircut - some of them don't know how to comb it, so they just slick it down.

Scratch my earlier answer altogether. Wink

This man has great style. And I've had a big ol' crush on him for many years and alot of that has to do with his style, which I've always admired. I would definitely dress like him.
ps-and check out his hawaiian shirt.

Don't know where you were trying to take it but Morgan Freeman's style is much more conservative than Delroy Lindo.

@eoe,

He's got a lot of style - but you have to have the stature to carry that look off - I like the black beret with the black and white and the one with the scarf wrapped around his neck - those are beautiful colors.

I think Samuel L Jackson is the epitome of cool style and sexy as hell because he has a sense of humor, but you also know he always means business. I'd wear one of these hats like this if I were a guy - I also like his glasses:

I see a constant stream of men aged 50+ in Hawaiian shirts.
That's what started this. I wondered whether if I had been a man,
would I wear them?

The last time I wore one of those,
I was not even 7 years old yet.

My youngest brother once said that he aims for a style he called "dashing conservative."
I knew exactly what he meant.

I was quick to vote for Barry Goldwater n Ronald Reagan,
but as I told an ex-girlfriend, my speeds r stroll, mosey n stop.

Surely, you must know what you like and don't like?

Not much, no; I 've never given it much thawt.

The only exception that comes to mind is that of my taking a girl named Joan
to Tavern on the Green for dinner in the heat of a summer, maybe 25 years ago.
On 2 or 3 such occasions, I noticed that she was dressed less formally
than was her wont; she seemed dressed appropriately to clean her apartment.
I think the applicable nomenclature is a "house dress" [ ? ]
I mentioned that her attire seemed somehow out-of-place,
tho this was not a matter of much significance to me.

I have seldom taken much notice of how chicks r dressed,
nor discussed the subject with them.

The Hawaiian shirt thing is sort of my own little . . . sorry . . . I am at loss for words!

To be fair, those shirts can be useful to conceal weapons,
but thay seem a bit informal to me.

I tend to dress like the guy on the right; (it looks like he has a vest)
excluding the brown shoes. I have some doubts about the tie.
(My shoes n socks r always black.)

Forget those glasses.

I'm not talking about the feeling one was born in the wrong gender or kinky sex.
How would you dress if you were Diane rather than David?

Your wish is granted.

but i find this statement sad, you seem to be a fan of sci fi
(star trek i know for sure), so i'm thinking you should have some
imagination or an appreciation for imagining things beyond the norm

I cannot begin to guess what my mindset woud be,
If I were transformed into a female. Its an alien concept.

i'm hoping you've had some first hand experience with it,

Not with WEARING it.

@ehBeth,

I like hats. I wish they come back. I wear a formed felt hat in the winter because they are more comfortable than knitted hats and I wear a straw sun hat in summer.

Men can be so attractive in a hat. One of the reasons many cops seem to be good looking might be their hats.

@aidan,

Takes us back to the days of doilies which were called Anti-Macassars because they protected furniture from the Macassar oil that was once a popular hair dressing. Doilies were NOT anti-massacres!

@eoe,

Who is he? He does have style! I love the suit on the far right, top row . . . a man in a well tailored suits turns me on . . . and I remember the best looking suits I ever saw, one in Paris which I assumed was of Parisian origin, and the other in Winchester, MA, which was made by a Carnaby Street tailor.

My second fav is him standing in the middle pic of the top row, wearing what looks like a sweater (drapes too well to be a sweatshirt) and cords. Here is casual that still looks good! I also like the far right pic in the bottom row: the only one in which he smiles.

His use of scarves is natty.

Delroy is in better shape as well.

Sam has height on his side. There was a movie trailer in which he was shown wearing a duster . . . the sort of coat made to order for a tall man. Sam turned around and the coat spun out a bit. Among the sexiest images I can pull from the mental rolodex.

That trailer sounds like his remake of "Shaft".
