I am looking a little 'puffy' this morning?


Its a given that fashion is a cyclical industry and sooner or later those horrible flares/platform shoes/sweater dresses/leg warmers that you wore in the 60's/70's or 80's will come around again. This morning however I discovered that a look that hadn't been in fashion since probably the 1700's has disturbingly crept into some idiot designers catalogue, namely the ruffled(puffy) shirt.

As my girlfriend pointed out, a lot of mens designer wear that she sees in magazines these days looks incredibly 'gay' on the models that wear them, but nothing in my mind looks quite as gay as a ruffled shirt. The ONLY people who are going to carry this one off are either complete flamers, ageing Adam Ant fans or Errol Flyn were he still alive. Ironically enough the designer is one Alexander McQueen and if you really want one you can buy it here at Bergdorf Goodman.

There was a great episode of Seinfeld once called 'The Puffy Shirt' which really explains it all, there was also another called 'The Outing' and I would like to point out that while I consider the ruffled shirt to be very gay there really isn't anything wrong with that.
